s.p.l.i.t: A Short, Tense Psychological Horror Experience
Mike Klubnika's s.p.l.i.t offers a unique take on psychological horror through hacking mechanics. The game immerses players in a cerebral narrative, where terminal commands drive the experience. However, the simplistic hacking puzzles may leave seasoned gamers wanting more depth. The chatbox feature adds intrigue as players interact with mysterious collaborators, enhancing the narrative layer. While the game is short, it manages to create a sense of tension around the unethical superstructure you’re hacking. Visually, it’s striking, yet the repetitive environments can dull the horror atmosphere. Though there are multiple endings, all are dismal, which might deter some players. Overall, s.p.l.i.t is a thought-provoking experience but may not satisfy all horror fans. You can find s.p.l.i.t on Steam. Expect to ponder the moral implications long after the credits roll.
