About this game
"s.p.l.i.t" is a short narrative driven horror game, with a focus on raw terminal hacking using various commands.
Throughout the game, you chat with your fellow technicians in order to plan and execute a malware attack. Regardless of the outcome, your story won't be told for decades.
Will you hold up your end?
FEATURES:
First person gameplay with diegetic & immersive UI.
An IRC chat where you gain intel, and learn more about the facility.
A terminal where you run software, navigate directories, and execute commands.
Detailed command prompt hacking puzzles with an emphasis on traditional inputs.
Original soundtrack.
The facility you and your crew infiltrate is a superstructure of unethical electronics.
The daunting task is only made possible by careful planning, and vulnerabilities hidden deep below legacy code and engineering.

Buckshot Roulette creator's new $3 horror game is a dark tale of MS-DOS hacking
As a child of the '90s, I still retain a nostalgia for the days of MS-DOS. My time with Microsoft's old, text-based operating system was mostly spent using basic file-browsing functionality or booting up classic PC games such as Doom and Theme Park, but the scroll of letters that resulted from even the simplest of actions still made me feel a bit like a hacker. New horror game Split, from the creator of the brilliant Buckshot Roulette, embraces that feeling in a dark tale of infiltration and command lines. It's out now, will cost you just $3, and is going even cheaper for launch if you're fast. Read the rest of the story...

This hotfix (hopefully) fixes an uncommon issue where the player head is visible in first-person, causing a rather striking yet undesirable visual where it looks like you're Leatherface or something.Jokes aside this is rather hard to recreate on my side, so feedback related to this issue is welcome!Thanks for playing :)-MikeRead full article on Community Announcements (Mike Klubnika)
