"Split is short. After about 45 minutes, you can reach the first ending. If you want to see both endings, you&s;ll have to replay the game, which, thanks to the terminal interface, is worth it. However, don&s;t expect deep replayability …"

"Short, smart, and unsettling, s.p.l.i.t isn’t your typical horror game. It’s cryptic and cold but rewarding for players who enjoy solving digital mysteries with nothing but their wits and a keyboard."

"s.p.l.i.t is an experimental terminal-based hacking simulation that appeals to those familiar with old-school computing, but its mediocre story and lack of tension in the hacking segments squander its potential."
