Unraveling Death Stranding-UNR

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Hello, everyone!

As some of you might know from previous posts, I wrote and essay on the game. In the last six weeks, I immersed myself in the lore, in science, in your theories, comments and insights. The essay is meant to be a guide and a reliable source for all DS fans. It's basically what you have to forward to that one friend who keeps saying: "What is this game?", "We know nothing about it!". You'll be relieved to just link them and say: "Here. This person on the internet wrote everything you need to know". Just don't mention it's long.

I posted the first part yesterday (by the way, thank you u/Rats-Get-Fat for the gold!), but since the word limit was forcing me to cut a few things, I've decided to publish everything on Tumblr. You can access Unraveling Death Stranding Blog and proceed to read the essay at your on pace, following the index.

The essay is divided in nine sections:

1. Introduction - introduces what the essay is all about: explaining what Death Stranding is. Read it for disclaimers, references and contributors.
2. What is Death Stranding? - Why is everyone talking about this game? Who made it?
3. When does it take place? - Does DS take place in the future or in present days? If so, when? Is it in our reality or in another one?
4. Where does it take place? - Does DS take place in our universe? Is it on Earth? If on Earth, where? Is it in Iceland? Or in the USA? Does USA even exist? What the hell is happening when Norman Reedus is underwater? Will we play during World War I and World War II?
5. Who are you playing as? - Get to know Sam Porter Bridges, Death Stranding's protagonist - learn about his physical and psychological attributes
6. What's happening? - Learn about chirality, antimatter and overlapping realities
7. What are the monsters all about? - DS has BTs, ghosts, Lovecraftian monsters and five mysterious monolithic deities
8. Characters - Get to know more of the characters, including Cliff (Mads Mikkelsen) and Higgs, The Man In The Golden Mask (Troy Backer)
9. How is the world? How will I explore it? - after all, it is a game: how is the open-world and the gameplay?

I hope you enjoy!
