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. ▌

Typical case of trying to induce fear through intentionally awful controls and insanely restrictive gameplay...instead of, yknow, making fun gameplay like Dead Space and Cronos did. And as if that wasn't enough, incredibly obtuse puzzles like searching for 4 clues in a labyrinthine area while a "hunter"-type enemy chases you, your only way to fight back is stunning it for a second and hiding. As if that wasn't awful enough, all puzzles are randomized, getting oneshotted by the monster randomizes them and reading the two-sided clue page leaves you open coz there is no pause button at all. I liked the horror mood, I liked the story, but the gameplay is completely insufferable. Please don't ignore gameplay next time you make a game.
ROUTINE is honestly one of the best games I’ve played. The atmosphere is incredible, the sound design is amazing, and the whole retro sci-fi style just works so well. The game manages to keep you constantly tense without relying on cheap jumpscares. I had a great time with it from start to finish. Definitely one of my favorite games I’ve played. If you’re into scifi horror and strong atmosphere, I highly recommend 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.

Intriguing story and cool jump scares. Puzzles not so intuitive
Game seems great but you can't pause and thats just ridiculous.
Impressive aesthetics, immersion and overall design. I'll remember this game for a long time.
One the absolute best horror games available today. A highly impressive work delivered by a core team of three developers over the rough course of 13 years. It was worth the wait! I hope we get a follow-up someday. I would wait another 13 years for it!

姉は血を吐く、妹（いもと）は火吐く、可愛いトミノは 宝玉（たま）を吐く。ひとり地獄に落ちゆくトミノ、地獄くらやみ花も無き。鞭で叩くはトミノの姉か、鞭の朱総（しゅぶさ）が 気にかかる。叩けや叩きやれ叩かずとても、無間地獄はひとつみち。暗い地獄へ案内（あない）をたのむ、金の羊に、鶯に。皮の嚢（ふくろ）にやいくらほど入れよ、無間地獄の旅支度。春が 来て候（そろ）林に谿（たに）に、暗い地獄谷七曲り。籠にや鶯、車にや羊、可愛いトミノの眼にや涙。啼けよ、鶯、林の雨に 妹恋しと 声かぎり。啼けば反響（こだま）が地獄にひびき、狐牡丹の花がさく。地獄七山七谿めぐる、可愛いトミノのひとり旅。地獄ござらばもて 来てたもれ、針の御山（おやま）の留針（とめはり）を。赤い留針だてにはささぬ、可愛いトミノのめじるしに。
本来是想给差评的，因为这引导实在是太差了，环境还乌漆嘛黑的，我还不擅长解密。但是抛开这些不谈，确实是个不错的好游戏，我很喜欢。
