Death Strandingis a sometimes meditative game about hauling cargo cross-country and trying not to trip up while doing so.
But some fans are just now learning that its fiddly loop was actually inspired by a traditional Japanese occupation.

Balancing stacks of cargo on a vertical, wobbly structure.
Maybe one of the oddest professions in Japan is that of the bokka ().
Porters who carry supplies to remote mountain guesthouses inaccessible to vehicles.

If you’ve played Death Stranding, then you’re able to definitely imagine it.
It’s all in Japanese, but just witnessing the physical feat is interesting enough.
Twitter user cuddlepuunk said the tidbit paints the game in a “beautifully different light.”
