The Secret Level Of Split Fiction Has Been Cracked

It is only the third month of 2025, but there are already some games in the game market that have excellent reputation and sales and can compete for “Game of the Year” award. Split Fiction, a two-player cooperative game developed by Hazelight Studio, has now won 98% of Steam’s favorable reviews. The sales volume exceeded 2 million in the first week, showing a strong momentum. 

Split Fiction’s rich and imaginative level design is its core selling point. Nearly half a month after the game was released, some players finally discovered the hidden level of this game. And under the extremely stringent clearance conditions, two Chinese players completed the world’s first clearance in the live broadcast!

One of the players who cleared the hidden level, E1uM4y, is a speedrunner who once set a Ghostrunner record of 1 minute and 45 seconds, won first place in Black Myth: Wukong speedrunning competition with 4 hours and 30 minutes, and defeated Promised Consort Radahn without taking any damage in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree when his character was only level 1.

The unlocking condition of Split Fiction hidden level requires players to activate the mechanism by continuously stepping on the buttons on the ground in the elevator before fighting the boss in Chapter 6 of the game. The specific order is: right, right, left, left, right, left, right, right, right, left. You will see a string of mysterious numbers before entering the level, which is a hint about how to open this secret level. After entering the correct password, a hidden level consisting of 5 small levels will appear.

To be honest, the design of this hidden level itself is to test players. Therefore, without the various whimsical ideas in the main process, the protagonists of these five small levels are all red lasers. Players need to avoid laser damage by constantly moving and jumping. Since there are no save points in the middle, you have to start from the beginning if you fail.

When the player passes the hidden level, the figure of Split Fiction producer Josef will appear on the screen. While praising the player, he also gave a special reward. If someone meets him in real life and is the first to prove to him that he has passed this hidden level, he will take this person to the Swedish headquarters to visit their studio, the new work currently under development, and other surprises!

The person who first discovered the hidden level is certainly more advantageous. It was just that after trying, and they were unable to complete the challenge and chose to give up.

It is precisely because of the extremely high difficulty of the hidden level that players joke that this level is selecting “Pacific Rim” Mecha pilots. The two players who challenge this hidden level must not only have superb skills but also must cooperate very well. If there is any mistake, you have to start all over again.
