Hideo Kojima's unique storytelling and abstract design in Death Stranding have resulted in its success, leading to the announcement of a sequel. The game features a perplexing narrative that challenges players to engage deeply with its themes, drawing comparisons to the art of David Lynch. This article aims to provide a condensed guide to the lore and metaphysical concepts essential for understanding the complex world Kojima has created, which includes the concept of the Beach—an important element in the game's exploration of life, death, and what exists in between.
"Death Stranding was enough of a blockbuster hit for someone to greenlight a second one, despite its incomprehensible plot and abstract design choices, showcasing Kojima's unique vision."
"Hideo Kojima, much like David Lynch, refuses to explain his art, inviting players to engage with the complexity and metaphysical themes of the narrative instead."
