Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3.14/day in the week to Sep 7 → 8.71/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.43/day in the week to Jul 24 → 8.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
"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?
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.
Genres
Sums Steam only; GOG publishes no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

Finally, a game that accurately simulates trying to get online in Russia 10/10
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ A+ game. My only gripe is that I wish it was longer. Way longer. The second I start understanding how to really work the terminal and find my way around, it's over. That sucks, because I was getting super into it! The atmosphere is amazing. As is the voice acting. Please, Please Mike. Make this a full thing. I will do anything.

لعبة رعب نفسي قصيرة تلعب فيها بدور مخترق يحاول التسلل إلى منشأة، وتعتمد على حل الألغاز والتقدم في القصة من خلال سطر الأوامر، أكثر شيء أعجبني فيها هو الأجواء و التصميم الفني، الموسيقى، والأصوات كلها تخدم التجربة وتحس بالتوتر والانغماس. لكن لازم تعرف أن أغلب وقت اللعبة بيكون في استخدام سطر الأوامر وكتابة الأوامر والتنقل بين الملفات، أما إذا ما يعجبك هذا الأسلوب، فغالبًا بتشوفها مملة و تنتهي تقريبًا أول ما تبدأ تتعود على أسلوبها.
Honestly, the hardest part was trying NOT to hit Tab every single time I went to autocomplete something. 10/10
awesome game. the command line isn't super complicated to work with, definitely not a blocker for anyone who isn't familiar with using terminals. my only real complaints are all terminal nerd crap: 1. the game is kinda short, puzzles don't really make involved use of the shell commands 2. more involved terminal syntax doesn't work (ls can't take arguments, cd can't take absolute paths, etc) 3. the shell's line editor doesn't have gnu readline keybindings so editing commands is kind of a pain 4. the text editor is gnu nano and not vim
Short but impactful experience, very creative. It can be a bit confusing if you are not used to linux terminals I guess, you will have to treat it as a puzzle and go through the help command. Worth the price and the time
Short and sweet. If you've ever used Linux, this won't be too bad to understand, if you're GenZ you might be in trouble
For just $3, you get to spend an hour in the shoes of a version of Elliot Alderson who finds the concept of sexual intercourse foreign, but fails miserably to find hair on his scalp (we shall all be there eventually, dear reader). The balance could have been tipped from chatting toward actually using the terminal, but overall, this may be Mike Klubnika's best production to date. Play Tartarus Engine first if you want to understand the lore better. It's included in the Unsorted Horror anthology.
A really interesting and unique horror experience. The worldbuilding and atmosphere are probably the best parts of the game and I really liked how the story is told through the environment and the different details you can find. The gameplay can be pretty confusing at times, especially if you don't have much experience with this kind of stuff, but overall it's definitely worth checking out.
Самый главный хоррор это работа с Linux
