Death Stranding: 21 WTF Moments You Need To See To Believe

21. Hideo Kojima Cameos As Nightmare Fuel

Players who spend some time hanging out in Sam's private room can uncover a number of nightmarish sequences simply by leaving the game to idle, including an especially horrifying scene where BB breaks out of its pod.

But by far the most WTF nightmare in the game occurs if the player takes a peek under Sam's bed, only for a bespectacled figure covered in black, tar-like BT liquid to emerge for a moment, before Sam wakes up.

The figure only appears on screen for a few seconds, but it's very clearly intended to be Hideo Kojima himself, because we'd know those distinctive glasses anywhere.

This isn't the first time Kojima has given himself a cameo in one of his games, of course. Who can forget Ground Zeroes' infamous side mission where you literally rescue the man himself?
