Split Fiction Players Beat Hidden Level, Win Trip to See…

Two deserving Split Fiction players have won a trip to Hazelight Studios’ Swedish base to get a peek at the developer’s next game, and all they had to do was locate and beat the punishing secret Laser Hell challenge in the newly-released game, which was far from light work. Director Josef Fares mentioned that the hidden Split Fiction challenge is something the Hazelight team can barely complete and applauded the pair for something Fares titled a “crazy, crazy achievement.”

Split Fiction became a massive hit very quickly, selling two million copies in just one week, and gamers wasted no time getting stuck in the vibrant chaos. Two players got so immersed in gameplay that they managed to locate the secret Laser Hell challenge. Announced on Twitter, Fares revealed “sharkOvO” and “E1uM4y” were the determined players who managed to complete the hidden level shared in a Bilibili video, and the director noted he would keep his promise and offer the players a fantastic prize. Both parties were invited to Hazelight Studios’ base in Sweden, where they would receive an early look at the developer’s next game with a few “other surprises.”

Split Fiction Players Win Trip to Hazelight Studios After Completing Laser Hell Challenge

Accompanying Split Fiction’s plethora of fantastic Easter eggs, the Laser Hell challenge is a little harder to come across and requires inputting a binary code. After riding a platform down to a lower level, players are met with the titular lasers plaguing a series of rooms in different patterns, and Mio and Zoe have to bend to the lasers’ rhythm without getting sliced. It’s an impressive feat to locate the secret level, let alone beat its “path of pain,” as some players named it.

With A Way Out, It Takes Two, and Split Fiction under the developer’s belt, the gaming community is wondering if Hazelight Studios will have an uphill battle after Split Fiction. With each successful title, it makes the next project more foreboding under the pressure of being as acclaimed as its predecessors. However, Fares, the founder of Hazelight, always shows concrete confidence in the studio's material while the games deliver consistent quality, and it’s fantastic to hear work on the next project is firmly underway.
