Dans Split, le gameplay puzzle à la première personne vous permet de créer des copies de vous-même et de manipuler le temps pour relever des défis cybernétiques. Les pièges du panneau de contrôle de Split exigent des réflexes aiguisés et une planification minutieuse, que ce soit pour anéantir les ennemis ou vous échapper en utilisant des clones comme diversion. Les niveaux mêlent architecture brutaliste et environnements numériques, dissimulant des chemins ingénieux dans des espaces apparemment vides.
Ce indie action-aventure s'inspire des classiques du puzzle, en remixant leurs mécaniques pour offrir des perspectives inédites dans un monde d'après-guerre peuplé de cités protégées et de gardiens robots. Les joueurs occasionnels friands d'épreuves cérébrales y trouveront leur compte, entre sang-froid et actions rapides. Les fans de puzzles avides de tactiques à clones et manipulation temporelle y découvriront leur prochaine obsession sur PC.
Split is a first-person puzzle game with the unique mechanics of creating copies of yourself and manipulating time. The gameplay combines many different types of puzzles from more and less famous puzzle games and takes them to a whole new perspective.
After the recent war, engineers from Epsilon Energy created the Split indestructible shield system. It was to protect individual giant cities covering almost the entire planet from armed conflicts. Different cities have different policies for their citizens. In West Ulrage, every citizen gets a guardian robot at birth. In Hal'Tor, pairs of robots raise several children each. Whereas in Dievez, people are raised in large centers. Most jobs have been taken over by machines. People work mainly as mechanics, programmers, or operators.
The Split control panel is riddled with numerous traps that will require both good reflexes and composure. You can try to destroy enemies or escape from them by using time manipulation and your own clones to distract them.
The game's design refers to Brutalism, an architectural style popular around the 1970s. It was promoted, among others, by the game "Control". We mixed this style with the digital environment from "Tron: Legacy". The levels are full of nooks and crannies, which may seem empty at first glance, but lead to interesting places.
We were inspired by games such as:
Q.U.B.E.2”, “The Talos Principle”, “The Turing Test”, “Portal”, “The Witness” and “Antichamber”
