![Posted by u/imnotbr 9 hours ago Kojima's new interview with Vulture magazine gets pretty personal News [A Video Game Auteur's Quest for Connection] (https://www.vulture.com/2019/11/hideo-kojima-death-stranding.html) I felt lonely when I was talking to my friends because they couldn't understand. I wanted to go home ... and turn on the lights because I was frightened. I had so many friends at school, but was lonely. I didn't tell anyone. I thought I was sick." His father died when Kojima was 13, leaving his mother with the burden of raising her son as a single parent. He developed such a feeling of protectiveness toward her that when he launched his independent studio post-Konami and began developing Death Stranding, Kojima kept it a secret from her. "I thought, Ill tell her once Ive become a little successful," he says. "I didn't want her to worry." But she died during the game's gestation. "The ghosts in the game - maybe my parents are one of them, seeing me in this world," he adds. "I wanted to have that kind of metaphor, that within you, youre connected to the people that passed away." Kojima admits to regrets about not telling his mother about the game. He appears shaken as he says it.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/655/966/01f.png_large "Hideo Kojima's tragic life and how it relates to Death Stranding")
