In a surprising turn of events, the cooperative adventure game Split Fiction has made headlines not just for its gameplay but also for its rapid encounter with piracy. The developers made a conscious decision to forgo anti-piracy measures, a choice that inadvertently caught the attention of hackers. Within just thirty minutes of its release, the hacking group Rune successfully breached the game and made it available online.
Despite this early setback, Split Fiction has enjoyed remarkable popularity, boasting an impressive 97% positive rating on Steam. The game has also seen peak online player counts surpassing 50,000, indicating a strong player base eager to engage with its cooperative gameplay. While the game currently lacks a Russian language option, dedicated enthusiasts from Mechanics VoiceOver have stepped up, announcing plans for professional voiceover work and initiating a crowdfunding campaign to support their efforts.
For those looking to enhance their experience, a neural translation mod is available for the PC version. Players can easily install this mod by downloading it and placing it in the directory steamappscommonSplit FictionSplitContentPaks.
Gameplay Dynamics
Similar to the acclaimed title It Takes Two, Split Fiction is designed exclusively for cooperative play. Players are not required to purchase the game twice; a second player can join simply by receiving an invitation and downloading the necessary file package. This feature is particularly appealing as it supports cross-platform play, allowing friends to connect regardless of whether they are on PC or console. However, navigating this process may prove to be more complex in the pirated version.
