ECKVA Update 4: House Call
There are a few more aspects regarding the dubious TV Network station. ECKVA seems like it’s not going to go away anytime soon. Let’s look at the case notes we have so far in regards to this entity:
- SHawkins is the current uploader of the ECKVA Broadcasts
- The Broadcaster has shown a specific interest towards SHawkins.
- ECKVA’s broadcasts have been captured with a set-up in a homespace inherited by SHawkins.
With all of this accounted for, what’s next for the developments of the broadcasting station that made a creepy return? SHawkins uploads the next ECKVA broadcast on April 7,2017.
House Call Dispatched
This video is a rather disturbing one as we’re shown another “Pencil Test” of Alis Pastry. “Alis goes to TV-” consists of Alis watching a Television that shows yet another Pencil Test called “Alis goes to the Doctor”.
We’re then shown a Doctor which takes a radiography of Alis and after nearly touching the center we’re shown a creepy screen that says “Input Error” all over the place.
We’re then shown a diagnosis saying that the patient “Does Not See What’s Important”. This is clearly a reference to SHawkins and their lack of cooperation regarding the Preaxin treatment.
This cannot go unchecked and as such, a house call has been dispatched. SHawkins soon notes that this broadcast was specifically geared towards them. Not helping things is what happens a few days afterwards on Twitter:
I've been getting a phone call at work from an unknown number since last week. Always at 4:52pm right before I leave.

Never hear anything on the other end when I answer it. But it never disconnects. Kept listening for over 5 minutes once before hanging up.

Yes, no response

House Call Arrived
Another Broadcast was picked up and published in May. This time showing something more akin to a news station. We see the Live Feed of a highway before we’re shown the current climate and time conditions.
What’s disturbing about this is the fact that the climate is oddly similar to the weather SHawkins experienced around them.
It rained yesterday and Friday https://t.co/4yFV7DEcCs

The advertisement part of the Broadcast only confirms the suspicions even further. There is drug testing trials nearby in the area. We can only imagine what drug is being tested and for what purpose.
After seeing a rather disturbing image the broadcast is cut short yet again. SHawkins clarified that they have to return to the house in order to fix the setup again.
We’re not done with this video yet, however. There are a few hidden frames worth looking at that mention a very specific message towards SHawkins that they might have missed.
come back, you had a visitor
Conclusion: House Call in Progress
The identity of the Doctor character in ECKVA Network has been a very broad subject of discussion in the GRAMPO Co. Discord.
There are several theories in regards to the Doctor’s identity. One of the theories is that this is an entity separate from the Broadcaster. However, a more commonly accepted theory is that the Broadcaster is taking the role of the Doctor.
It makes sense to think of the latter considering that the Broadcaster has been pushing the Preaxin medication for quite a while. It almost seems like they are doing this because they think they know what’s best to “See What’s Important”.
SHawkins has been noticing that these updates have become increasingly personal. As such, they are playing their cards a bit more safely than before. Could this be enough to keep them around? We’ll find out in the next update as SHawkins goes to the inherited property to fix their crude setup.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games
Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.
In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.
According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.
In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!
Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Shift Up unveils the intriguing details behind the physical packaging of Stellar Blade for the PS5
It appears that many
are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.
We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.
