Next up; (Patreon)

Next up is a deep dive into Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding. I recently finished the game and thought it was a beautifully rich experience, but also one that, based on the reviews/analyses I've seen so far, hasn't been appreciated in its entirety. The obvious theme of connection has been discussed plenty, but I believe there's also a deeper layer of existentialism that has yet to be examined properly.

So for my last project of the year, I will attempt to deliver a complete breakdown of the story, the game play, and the deeper themes that glue it all together. Also, my goal is to present it in a way that even those who haven't played the game, or don't really have an interest in gaming, will understand what's going on and can enjoy it as a stand-alone work discussing subjects like loneliness and relations, care and patience, love and trauma, and finding meaning in the face of death and annihilation.
