I don’t use the mouse in the split, but I won’t miss it. Games are sometimes called “clumsy” but more satisfying than good mass? Each key crank here hits like a heartbeat. Axel and his two companions fight for root access to launch a malware attack on the “facilities” – “Death is the least of my worries. Being dragged into a facility scares me.”
The split is about an hour long, describing its own dimly lit scoomorphism as a “diegetic and immersive UI.” Esoteric; repellent. The game begins and you enter the group chat as an Axel. The flashing line encourages me to talk, but it doesn’t matter what key I press, the axel type what he wants. live. It will dissociate. I feel like I have experiences that lack a body and body that do not belong to me in the first place. And there is a slight delay in anxiety. I feel that the axel is completely slower than I do.

But then it’s time to go and I’m slower than him in everything else. He scrutinizes the directory and imagines the accelerator machine as his own expansion when he solves problems with practiced agitability. My fingers are clumsy, my mind hurts fighting for the rebellious machine mind that spews and scoffs in the dull sepia cuniform.
But when Axel’s nervous thoughts get out of control, I rubbed the words of doubt that pop up with absolutely furious cracking. It looks like we need each other here, buddy.
The Pantone 448 C is a miserable and sickly shade of brown, described as the most gli color in the world. Its variation is the colour of the UK cigarette pack, and is part of Europe and several other countries. I’ll mention that there’s a pack under the Axel desk, and that all the colors in the split appear to be somehow derived. This is probably a kind of synesthesia from my part, but there teeth Other suggestions besides the CIG Pack. This room is a tragic and sickly place.
Chats keep you up to date with your next steps, stakes and views from within the facility. That’s exciting. Dangerous. The computer interface provides characteristically gentle guidance that is probably too far away to remind me that I’m playing video games. It tells you when you try to open a directory using Open file Give me the command and the correct one. Clarify the formats that require some input on the cushioned edge of the design. But while you run through the let’s talk in chat with the cortisol-scattered technosnare, the danger is compelling enough to stick. Splits are great at making you feel very clever and completely from your depths, from one seemingly simple task to the next.
(To cross the bay between what you can now and what you hope to do one day is to see what you have created and the despair. Knowing that you are getting better. As a whole of their trembling, searing?)
I hunt and piece together scraps of various information. You can print notes to track strings of numbers. Server ID. Access key. I play as part of the Axel brain. He keeps him at his best and I’m atrophying, but the rest of him doesn’t seem to have come to fruition yet.
The rich and terrifying environment is suggested by small, terrifying glimpses. The cartoon light bulb flickers, dim and bright again. On my head, I keep getting a little closer to the screen, sitting, rimming towards me, unaware. There’s a real joy in understanding what the game wants, how to do it, and doing it. All of this has the undercurrent of the disease martialism. Axel has a fallback plan that suggests that the facility’s scope is much larger than I have achieved. Damn, I think that’s scary. wild. You do not use “appearance” from “A” and “D” in “your cervical spine.”
(Craft’s true promise may not be self-expression, but it’s not self-concept. Some of us have less body autonomy than others, but the body autonomy that most people have is close to zero. I’m a 6’1″, 224 pound guy. But like Axel, I’ve at least learned to make my fingers a strange symbol and do what I want.
Art is something you sometimes make you think, so bracket shit is basically my review here. You probably won’t think about the exact same thing while playing this, but I think the concept of despair will probably be a component. Splits are not as graphic or miserable as martyrs and me have no mouths. That’s because it often uses that constraint by suggesting a rich, nasty environment with a few lines of text and a handful of images of slack. Partly because backshot roulette’s third-ick laughter is reduced. I think it’s because in most cases the axel is not really a person. He has a lot of me in him at this point and I am sitting at a safe distance.
Except… my notes at this point in the game – my personal notes – read: then it happens. They read “No” and “I can’t do anything else.” And that’s over. At this point I know I’ve just seen the second because I got what has two endings, two hidden steam accomplishments and the “two ends” written on it. I’m already good at this hacker shit. Next, let’s finish.
I know I’m doing more this time. The distance between me and the accelerator is not that big. If not fully capable, enter and search with confidence. I still hope that chat typing will be faster. Conversation has a different meaning. This time we’ll go deeper into the file. Please read more. I’ll learn more. The fear I had just imagined now has its name. I reached the end of two and only partially wanted.
If someone mentions it, it’s best to understand how you feel about something by imagining how you will talk in the future. “Ah, yeah, split! It’s messed up, that.” “Sure, please play it.” I say that because there’s more than despair here. There are also some dire victories.
