1. There is a biology book found in matrix 11 and spire 4 that is titled 'its all about flies' this happens to be a actual biology book that's titled " all about flies" There are multiple covers for the irl book and I could only find the one included in slide one. This book was pretty easy to find, and I thought about it today as I was wiring a outdoor receptacle, a green bottle fly was buzzing around a plant I was working next to. It's metallic green color reminded me of something. Well, it's far reaching to assume but it could be what inspired Eve's 7th airborne suit. Again, just speculation.

    2. You can find a book titled "brick by brick" in eidos 7 and also matrix 11. I found various books with the same title. Some being plausible to relating with the stellarblade narrative and some not so much. I left a brief synopsis of the story of each book in slide picture 2. The top three are my best guesses, but hey Kim Hyung Tae might just really be into Legos.

    3/4. Right after the corrupter boss, you enter a shopping alley way before it leads you to the main overpass. The first shop entrance to your right has an oval framed picture of D1gg2r and what, to me, appears to be Enya. Which is well before we see either of these characters. Fun little foreshadowing. Also(4), on Adam's work bench by the tetrapod in xion, you can find a vinyl decal of D1gg2r on his cut mat. Again seeing him before you actually do.

    5/6. You see maybe 5 or 6 different restaurants and cafés through out the game, mostly 'the red grille'. I've looked it up to know avail. But I did find a window for one under the flooded area in eidos 7. The window reads the hours of operation( they're closed on Sundays) and an extra legacy of "since 1935" below the restaurants name and also they are not a "nano beef" restaurant but a "premium steak house" in the flooded section.

    1. Fallen angels. I'm aware that this is already been posted but I couldn't resist with this solid asf screenshot. I also took a photo of EVE and dropped the opacity to 50% and this may very well be Eve's face render on all of the fallen angels. Another interesting detail(picture not included) is that none of the angels have hands. I believe this to be an intentional detail and not a bug. I think that scrapers tend to steal and reuse the hands and exospines because they would be incredibly hard to produce colloquially. There is even an Item(I believe its the micromotor) description that states that certain parts had become impossible to reproduce. This all is what I think the "angel of death" side quest was meant to expand on, but honestly that narrative fell short.

    2. The cellinium ad in matrix 11 is a reference to older "pepsi generation" promotions. Kim Hyung Tae had actually pitched pepsi to have their product in game but it wasn't accepted. I thought pepsi, personally was odd but on further inspection, pepsi has been the king of pop( little mj reference) in Korea. The even run adds with the pepsi logo in the korean national ensign instead of the red and blue ying yang.

    9/10. For personal research I came across this antiquated book on beauty. It goes over 's' lines and measures degrees of curvature in the female form with psychological pseudo scientific reasons, it's probably in the same category of phrenology, beauty micrometers, and the golden ratio. But BA-DANG! Eve fits like a glove in it. So maybe there's something to it.

    1. Eidos 7's sector motto is "the free land".

    2. You can find Raven or perhaps the singing angel's drop pod in the great desert near the hypertube. I don't have enough to go on but it's my assumption that it's one or the others.

    13/14. Food with oil. Most of these restaurants sell strange nano beef and bread or coffee and doughnuts with oil. This was most definitely restaurants for andro-eidos to consume maintenance resources for their body cores.

    1. I could only make out every other word, but I did find the 3★ rating to be a reference to the ratings of the gear, items, and outfits we gain through out the game. As if it's the standardized procedure of rating products in the world.

    2. Hoppers brewery bottles can be found in the lounge before fighting karakuri. There are two bottles next to each other on a coffee table by some brown leather couches. After searching for this company I found two different breweries that came pretty close to the in game models. Could also be speculation, but it's noteworthy to mention these are Australian beers and spire 4 is off the coast of Australia.

    Alright, thank you for those that have taken the time to read this, I know it's not as "neuron activating" as some of my raunchy posts, but I really love this scifi world that Shift Up has created for us and enjoying deep diving into it >! and Eve's superior posterior!<. Let me know if yall would enjoy more little finds like these!

    Goodnight!

      That’s really cool. I’ve been taking a bit more time on my latest run to enjoy things like this too. I noticed the code that’s on the train that you need to wash in matrix 11 is spread through some different areas in the game

      Dang, You put in a lot of effort into this! I love seeing little details like these.
      I’m especially interested in the drop pod in the great desert. Seems like a pretty significant piece of lore i somehow overlooked.
      Keep posting these bro, I love it!
