About
█ ROUTINE is a First Person Sci-Fi Horror title set on an abandoned lunar base designed around an 80s vision of the future.
Curious exploration turns into a need for survival when a lunar base goes completely quiet. Searching for answers puts you face to face with an enemy who is certain the main threat is you. Discoveries lead to deeper unknowns and the only way to go is forward. ▌
Note: ROUTINE offers no waypoint markers, finding your way is part of the experience. Slow down, observe your surroundings, explore carefully, and review data to uncover the path forward.
█ EXPLORE: Roam through contrasting sectors of the lunar base, from deteriorating living quarters and tram stations to an abandoned mall. ▌
█ OBSERVE: Investigate your surroundings and uncover crucial information to progress and piece together the events that unfolded before your arrival. ▌
█ IMMERSE: Full body awareness, diegetic audio, and minimal UI help create a gripping and atmospheric experience. ▌
█ OPERATE: Your Cosmonaut Assistance Tool (C.A.T.) is vital. Use it to access critical terminals, navigate the environment and identify clues. ▌
█ SURVIVE: Run, hide, or attempt to defend yourself against unknown threats using the C.A.T. as a last resort. ▌

I like this game
As an experience this game is amazing. Its not quite your typical survival horror but it does give off those vibes. The closest game I would compare this to is Alien Isolation. The atmosphere is great, the sound design is spectacular, and it puts you in a sense of security right before the final area. Although the puzzles are great, sometimes they do feel a little obtuse. You really have to pay attention to the information being fed to you or you might get confused with your next objective or clue. Overall I would rate Routine a solid 8/10. Although there isn't much replayability, I think thee price of entry is well worth it.

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

C'est juste exceptionnel de faire un jeu si parfait
how fickle and fragile life is... 12/10, such an amazing story.
Worth playing 100%. A simple yet well polished story with adaquate amounts of tension and intuitive game design. The only complaint I can think of is the enemy's detection cone needed some better tuning, you're seen comically easy. That said, don't make my mistake and sleep on it if you enjoy horror
Really good game TBH. Scarry, interesting lore and puzzles
Work of visual and auditory art
I can't stop thinking about it. It really is a masterclass in audio design and art direction which isn't a secret, but what really lingers with me is all the little details that make it such a complete horror marvel. The way it combines all its wonderfully crafted elements to make your brain turn against you, much like the main character, is so understated by many who played it. It made me jump the worst out of any horror game I've played with [spoiler] Entity A's unpredictable behaviour. [/spoiler] Go into it knowing nothing, and find everything it has to offer. It won't dissapoint.
Very atmospheric, great aesthetic. Pretty short, but you can think of it as being like an interactive slow-paced movie. Doesn't insult your intelligence, so you need to pay attention (maybe take notes, Steam has a Notes section built into the Overlay, BTW) and there are some small puzzles that are cool too. I wish this game had the length of Dead Space, it's so good with it's short length, I wish there was more. (game doesn't pause at any point, so keep that in mind, if you are used to that giving time to breathe/calm down after a scare.)
Very spooky
