Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Art of Death Stranding is packed with hundreds of pieces of concept art for the characters, equipment, locations, and creatures featured in the game, as well as early and unused concepts, including artwork by acclaimed artist Yoji Shinkawa.

People have created 'walls' and become accustomed to living in isolation. The Art of Death Stranding explores the visual elements behind a completely new type of action game, where the goal of the player is to reconnect isolated cities and a fragmented society.

It is created so that all elements, including the story and gameplay, are bound together by the theme of the 'Strand' or connection. As Sam Porter Bridges, you will attempt to bridge the divides in society, and in doing so, create new bonds or 'Strands' with other players around the globe.

Through your experience playing the game, I hope you'll come to understand the true importance of forging connections with others.
