"Detroit" is a game about artificial intelligence and humanity's future. Guess where it's set?
The game is set in a near-future version of real-world city Detroit, Michigan. Things haven't improved much from current day, it looks like.
The debut trailer starts with a drive toward the city, passing dilapidated houses and infrastructure:

This is the rebirth of manufacturing in the city of Detroit, once renowned for its automobile manufacturing.
Signs of the rebirth can be seen as the camera pans through the city's downtown:

This is the construction of "Kara," the game's protagonist:

The final product, wrapped in plastic:
What makes Kara different is her ability to feel.
She experiences fear, confusion, wonderment — feelings that androids don't have in near-future Detroit, apparently.

Some folks in near-future Detroit don't appreciate that androids are replacing them as workers:
And this seems to be the central conflict of "Detroit" (the game). Androids are treated like slaves, because they're thought of as computers.
They even have a separate place to stand on the train:
And there's "Android parking" out in public, which looks just as crazy as you might imagine:
Despite feeling differently, Kara looks just like hundreds of other female androids.
Androids are easily identified by the glowing circle in their head:
Which means, even with her normal clothing, she still stands out as an android:
But the folks who notice her most frequently are actually other androids:

What will become of Kara and near-future Detroit? We'll hopefully find out sooner than later, as "Detroit: Become Human" heads to the PlayStation 4 at some point in the future.
