“In NOPE, and also in Death Stranding, when the UFOs get close, electricity goes out.”
What it documents
Kojima noted a shared motif: in NOPE, and also in Death Stranding, when the UFOs get close the electricity goes out. He recalled that UFOs in earlier accounts behaved the same way — cars would stop and their engines would not work, so you would not have been able to use your camera — and he regarded that as a very clever idea because it left no evidence.

“In NOPE, and also in Death Stranding, when the UFOs get close, electricity goes out. Well, UFOs back in the day were the same too, I guess. Cars would stop and their engines wouldn't work. I guess you couldn't use your camera either. That was pretty smart.”
