Stellar Blade’s Eve will stare the player down if they’re ogling her for too long.
Surprise: People are down bad for Stellar Blade’s protagonist. As players have discovered to their shock, though, it turns out protagonist Eve will have a bit of a staring competition if the player in question gets a little too thirsty and starts ogling the character with the camera.
In the brief clip below, for example, Eve turns and stares directly into the camera that’s been left hovering over them for just long enough to be uncomfortable. It sort of feels like the character is staring directly into the player’s soul here, which may or may not be what developer Shift Up had intended.
There’s a better look at the feature in the clip just below. One player fancies getting an angle on Eve from below, and the protagonist knows exactly what they’re up to, staring them down with the energy of a school teacher demanding to know what the idiot pupil thinks they’re doing.
