French developer Quantic Dream's latest project, a tech demo that shows the progression the studio has made since 2010's Heavy Rain as well as laying a foundation for its next game, is to be unveiled today - and you'll be able to see it first here on Eurogamer.

I hope it's something similar to Heavy Rain, maybe not a sequel or even have the same characters but more of the same (but improved obviously) would be very welcome.

Yep, I agree. A new story with new characters using the same "interactive drama" model from Heavy Rain will be an instant buy from me.

@DanRyckert Cage says Kara is strictly a demo of the engine, not an indicator of a future project.

That was a great Tech Demo, and the story concept was great. But I don't see how a full game would be that different to Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain gameplay wise.

I would love to see the a full length game bassed on the idea of an android who achieves consciousness like we see here though. That was pretty intresting story wise, but sometimes I can't help but feel these games would make better films.

garlad · 03-07-2012, 09:59 PM

Wow... wow... WOW!

Steelmaker · 03-07-2012, 10:46 PM

So will "Kara" become a fully realized game or is this JUST a tech demo?

It's just a Tech Demo like The Casting was before Heavy Rain.

boo... I thought they were doing the WWII project. I was looking forward to that!

GLaDOS · 03-07-2012, 11:03 PM

Whoa...

Am I looking at a new interactive drama project?

STARSCREAM · 03-08-2012, 04:13 AM

I want to see this kara story as a game!!!!

DualEdge · 03-08-2012, 05:42 AM

Since the PS Move wasn't around during Heavy Rain's creation (it was added later), I really can't wait to see what kind of ideas they could come up with for interaction with their next project. Great demo, count me in as one of the people disappointed that this isn't going to be a full-fledged game.

Me too.

This is not their game though, so it might still be the WWII project.

With that said, the premise for this does look pretty good. It reminds me of something like Bicentennial Man.
