During a recent Reddit AMA, David Cage revealed that the original draft of Detroit Become Human had four playable main characters.

I’m glad it only had 3, 4 would have been too much.

It certainly would've increased the workload significantly if they aimed to strike the same form of connection between the gamer and the characters by having a 4th. Though, I imagine it could be done if the character is worth the extra work.

I'm thankful for what we received, and I do hope that the team behind it has enough creative ideas to push for a sequel. There's a lot they can work with. So many interesting little tid bits within the magazines.

Plot Twist: The fourth was only pretending to be an android... DUM DUM DOMMM!!!

That would have been interesting a human character that hates androids would have been a nice perspective too but that was essentially Hank so it worked out.

I like the idea of a Pygmalion who tries to awaken emotions from an android but finds out governmental spying program etc
