s.p.l.i.t (Windows Game) is a short, atmospheric psychological horror experience that combines narrative tension with immersive hacking mechanics. Released on July 24, 2025, this indie title puts you in the shoes of a technician trying to infiltrate an unethical superstructure using real command-line hacking tools and investigation.
Unlike typical horror games that rely on jump scares, s.p.l.i.t leans into eerie ambience and cerebral challenges. You navigate first-person environments where every terminal command, IRC chat message with fellow techs, and puzzle you solve impacts your understanding of the mysterious facility and its dark secrets. The game’s diegetic user interface — meaning all interactions happen within the world’s own systems rather than menus — enhances immersion.
With an original soundtrack and gritty aesthetic, s.p.l.i.t emphasizes psychological unease and moral ambiguity over fast-paced action. The narrative can unfold in different ways based on your choices and success in hacking puzzles. While compact in scope, it offers a unique experience for fans of horror, cyberpunk themes, and puzzle-heavy gameplay.
