Discover the hidden references and Easter Eggs scattered throughout Detroit: Become Human. From nods to Quantic Dream's previous titles to movie inspirations, this guide uncovers them all.
Heavy Rain's Origami
During the chapter ‘The Painter’, look for origami figures on a bookshelf on the left side of the room. These are a clear reference to Quantic Dream's game, Heavy Rain.
Heavy Rain and Movie References
In ‘Battle for Detroit’, when Kara picks up a gun, a background movie theatre displays titles like Heavy Rain, Beyond 2 Souls, To The Infinite and Beyond, Noman Soul, and Jungle 2. Heavy Rain and Beyond 2 Souls are direct references to Quantic Dream's previous games. 'To Infinity and Beyond' is a nod to Disney's Toy Story.
Markus Plays Detroit Soundtrack
In ‘The Painter’, when Markus plays the piano, the music is from the game's soundtrack, originally composed as Kara's theme.
Kara's Film Reference
In ‘Broken’, while searching the junkyard for parts, find an android head on the right side of a slope. This head sings in Japanese, referencing the teaser short film 'Kara' for Detroit: Become Human.
Markus Sings Detroit Soundtrack
At the end of Markus' story in ‘Battle for Detroit’, if you choose to sing instead of kissing North, Markus and other androids will harmonize to the music from Detroit's first teaser trailer.
Beyond Two Souls Symbol
In ‘Capitol Park’, when choosing the pacifist route and tagging benches, one of the symbols available is a reference to Jodie Holmes from Beyond: Two Souls. It resembles a peace sign and is selected by pressing X.
Chloe
Chloe, the main menu android, reacts to your choices and game events. After your first playthrough, she will ask to leave. If you say no, she resets for a new playthrough. If you say yes, she leaves permanently.
Secret Endings
A peaceful playthrough (no kills, no main character deaths) results in a secret ending where Connor and Hank hug. A violent playthrough where everyone dies leads to a secret ending in the Zen Garden with Amanda, where Connor is told he will be decommissioned.
Hitman's Agent 47
In ‘Battle for Detroit’, one of the CyberLife guards escorting you to the elevator is named 'Agent 47', a reference to the Hitman franchise.
Terminator Movie Reference
If you get Connor killed at every opportunity, you earn the trophy 'I'LL BE BACK', a direct quote from the Terminator franchise. Connor's name may also be inspired by John Connor.
