The Painter – 100% Completion

Like The Hostage, this chapter of Detroit: Become Human requires multiple playthroughs to unlock 100% on the flowchart.

There are a couple of things that are easy to miss along the way, though. To 100% this chapter, just play through it normally and go through all of the different options. There aren’t any real variations until after you serve Carl breakfast.
