Kara (web video)



Kara is a 2012 tech demo created by Quantic Dream to showcase their new graphics engine, starring Valorie Curry. It starts off showing the assembly and activation of a Ridiculously Human Robot... who proves to be a little too human.

The concept was made into a full game, Detroit: Become Human, released in 2018, with Valorie Curry reprising her role.
