Released in 2025 by Kordus Interactive for PC and Linux, S.p.l.i.t is a short narrative horror game blending puzzle, simulator, and visual novel elements. The player takes on the role of a technician coordinating with a crew through an IRC chat interface to plan and carry out a malware attack against a large facility involved in unethical electronics operations. Gameplay centers on first-person interaction with a functional terminal, where navigating directories, running software, and entering commands form the basis of detailed hacking puzzles that emphasize traditional command-line inputs. The UI is fully diegetic, reinforcing immersion throughout. IRC conversations with fellow operatives provide both narrative context and intelligence about the target facility, whose vulnerabilities are buried within legacy code and infrastructure. The outcome remains uncertain, and the story itself is framed as one that goes untold for decades. An original soundtrack accompanies the experience.
