You will learn, among other things, about the game’s world and the main character.
World
Death Strandingtakes place in an unspecified futurein the former United States.
Humanity has experienced a cataclysm manifested in a series of explosions that brought supernatural phenomena called Death Stranding.
The new cabinet established the existence of theUnited Cities of America(UCA).
It seeks to unite society and bring order to the new world.
When we start the game, UCA is led by a female president - Bridget Strand.
However, we can see the effects of that event right from the beginning.
One of them is a new phenomenon calledTimefall.
This rain is very dangerous to everything it comes into contact with.
When it gets into contact with human tissue, it will cause rapid aging.
Most of her body has been subjected to Timefall and aged significantly.
The only part of Fragile’s body, which has maintained in its original state, is her face.
The second result of catastrophic events was the appearance of creatures calledBeached Things- BTs.
The only evidence of BTs' presence are the marks appearing on the muddy soil.
It is worth noting that BTs don’t see people - they rely on hearing instead.
Some of the ways to avoid detection are to stay still and hold your breath.
BTs are aggressive creatures and attack every living organism found.
Their goal is to catch the detected creature and drag it into the tar-like substance.
Another unique characteristic of the world is the emergence of a disease calledNecrosis.
This disease affects every dead person and it gets stronger as the corpse decomposes.
Ignoring this step can cause corpses to explode with huge force (so-called Voidout).
The main character transports a corpse at the beginning of the campaign.
The journey to the crematorium is unfortunately interrupted by BTs.
Members of the transport crew fail to stop the explosion of the transported corpse.
The whole area is destroyed, and Central Knot City turns into a huge crater.
Sam
Sam Porter Bridgesis the main protagonist ofDeath Stranding- he can be compared to a post-apocalyptic courier.
Sam loses his motorcycle at the beginning of the game.
However, you will be able to get other vehicles later.
It is worth noting that Sam is unique in many ways.
He has supernatural DOOMs abilities.
One of the unusual things about Sam is that he is referred to asa repatriate.
When Sam dies, he ends up in an “underwater world” calledThe Seam.
While controlling Sam’s soul, we can find his body and bring him back to live.
Bridge Baby
Bridge Baby - BBis one of the most important characters in the game.
However, you won’t know much about it at the beginning.
This looks different for Sam because he becomes attached to his BB and tries to keep it alive.
A unique feature of BB is that it can “connect” with the world of the dead.
This makes avoiding and attacking BTs much easier.
An important element of the game is the need to take care of the BB.
Exposing the fetus to stress will make BB cry.
In extreme situations, the Bridge Baby can also develop a disease called autotoxemia.
Fortunately, Sam has methods in calming the baby down and healing it.
The Bridge Baby is also related toflashbacksthat are experienced throughout the game.
They focus on the man played by Mads Mikkelsen.
At first, these scenes seem hard to understand.
However, this state changes in the later parts of the game.
Later, we learn more about the man from flashbacks and even meet him several times.
At the end of the game we can watch the complete memory.
The first meeting with Bridget has a very depressing character - the woman is on her deathbed.
We learn that Bridget has cancer and that the current state of the disease can’t be treated anymore.
In addition to the president, we also meet a few other friendly characters.
The aforementionedHomo Demensis a separatist group opposing the UCA.
The most important character associated with this grouping isHiggs, who hides his face behind a golden mask.
Each beach is individual to the person with whom it is connected.
The Beaches are mentioned first during a conversation with Amelie’s hologram.
Sam learns that her body is still on the Beach and that she has stopped aging.
During the game, Sam meets Amelie on her Beach.
Chiral data pipe
The expansion of theChiral Networkis one of the main themes ofDeath Stranding.
It can be defined as a futuristic version of the Internet.
Facilities that have joined the chiral web connection can share knowledge or communicate with each other.
Some NPCs will ask Sam to earn their trust first.
We join new facilities to the internet by using an unusual necklace - Q-Pid.
The multiverse appears several times during the campaign.
It means a scenario where an infinite number of dimensions exist.
In the game, these dimensions can mutually blend and interact with each other.
However, we will never meet other players directly.
