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. ▌

Reviews
Def an unique playstyle you have to get used to, but really good and intense, especially when you hit a certain point. Sound design and visuals are amazing!
This quickly became of my all time favorite short horror games, it's a fascinating world and genuinely tense throughout. I loved uncovering the story of what happened to the lunar base. I honestly want to gush about the story ad nauseum but it's best to go in blind. If you like feeling unease about what you'll run into next and retro futurism you'll love this game.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
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.

Routine punches above its weight by providing a very tight and curated horror experience with little bloat. I recommend not using a guide and wearing headphones to enjoy the freaking amazing audio design. I will say if you need a HUD, objective marker, or any other hand-holding this might not be for you.
Games fairly fun, intriguing story and cool world / lore. Lots of information hidden across the levels. I'd liken it to the levels in various Resident evil games where you're avoiding unkillable monsters and solving puzzles as they chase you. iI you love that, you'll love this game. AI is a bit wonky though and has some weird / dumb moments and can be very frustrating at times. Chapter 4 has a VERY poorly described puzzle that I ended up having to google how to solve as the way it's presented isn't the order you put the answer in and as far as I found in game nothing told you that. would be 8/10 without that act 4 puzzle, 7/10 with it as I still enjoyed everything else and all the other puzzles were enjoyable to solve. Pros: Very well made world Intriguing story Story also flows very well Level design is great Sound design is also very good Cons: That one puzzle in act 4 AI can be a bit wonky at times and make dumb choices Enemies are also VERY vigilant and will spot you from miles away Took me about 5 - 6 hours to complete, unsure on exact time as I accidentally left the game open for a few hours while not at my PC
Неплохая игра, но я её не допрошёл. Забросил на 4м акте. В целом, мне всё нравится за исключением беготни в поисках решения головоломок. Это лично меня немного утомляет, потому что зачастую задачи не самые интересные, хотя здесь порой удивляли своей иммерсивностью. Несмотря на дроп игры, рекомендую! Подойдет любителям загадок и бродилок. Некая смесь Prey (сеттинг), Amnesia the bunker (также от врагов нужно убегать по станции) и soma (скудный, но сюжет про жизнь и роль человечества) Кстати, оптимизация хорошая. У меня было порядка 280-320 фпс на всей протяженности игры
mmmmmm flowers and voice guiding me
Это отличная игра. Понятные с самого начала механики взаимодействия с предметами и инструментом. Интересный сюжет, я с удовольствием провёл эти 9 часов в игре. Местами было ощущение, что я нахожусь во вселенной Alien Isolation. Идея использовать инструмент для сохранение игры и контроля текущих задач прямо на интерактивном экране - очень впечатляет. Модификация инструмента даёт ощущение некоторой кастомизации, что очень круто (переключение модулей). Игра отлично оптимизирована. Я ставлю этой игре 10/10, давно таких игр не выходило, спасибо разработчикам за такой качественный продукт.
Truly unforgettable work of art, Play play play this game, internalize it, eat it, and then play it again.
Как же уже ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ эта ♥♥♥♥♥ с неочевидными механиками. Кучи мелочей в плане управления добавили непонятно зачем, а к ним вдобавок беспонтовых роботов, которые не пугают, а скорее бесят. В результате вся атмосфера идёт ♥♥♥♥♥, пока ты пытаешься понять, а какого хрена от тебя ждёт игра
Нет никаких подсказок,лишь кнопки управления в настройках игры. До всего нужно доходить самому. В начале очень тяжело,абсолютно непонятно куда жмать и что делать. Потом походу разбираешься и уже интересно. Голову напрягите,♥♥♥♥♥♥ рот.
