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 the atmosphere but the puzzles and overall gameplay is rather monotonous. It has similarities with Alien Isolation but the robot enemies in ROUTINE don't pose any real threat because they're dumb and easy to avoid, therefore you don't get that sense of dread like you did in Alien Isolation.
I've played for about one hour, and I hate my experience. The controls are awkward for example what's the point of programming a double crouch with control + space + S. This is so wired that the game start with an annoying confusing tutorial to check if the players understand it. The rest is as terrible, and the tool that sparkles usage is so counter intuitive that there is an OTHER well hidden tutorial that explain how to use it. Developpers : if your game need a tuto for walking and interacting, and if this tuto is mandatory to play this game, this is a RED FLAG about how messed up your gameplay is. Consider making it more simple. So the main gameplay functionality is walking in long corridors where nothing happens, and a part as simple as this one is a mess. Your character can walk but the corridors are too long and the walk to slow, so you want to run 100% of the time. Good news you can run. Bad news : you need to keep the finger on the shift key all the time which makes it painfull AND there is an anoying zoom animation every time you start running that will make you sick. Devs, if the player always need to run, just increase the walking speed or make the corridors shorter, or make the run the default and press shift for walking. The second gameplay functionality of this game is retro menus printed on 3D surfaces. It's just basically text that's painfull to navigate and hard to read. Seriously, if you want do a text-based game, write a visual novel, there are plenty of awesome (free) tools that make is pleasant to use. Plus the consoles content is not intresting at all, and can be summarize as : 7"you need a code to open the next door", and you must type the code with a crappy interface. For the story, it's summarized this way : I got no idea who am I, I got no idea what I'm doing here, I only know that I'm on the moon and that I shoud fix some random-thing elsewhere behind a locked door. This is NOT intresting at all. This is even not a story. A story need at least a character and a plot. So in conclusion, you may buy this game, if you think that there will be better content latter on, and if you're well motivated to spend money for a headache and a bet. Or you can spend time on the other well made horror games that exists. There are tons of them. Ohh and extra crap, the game doesn't properly quit on exit.... when closed, it still run in background, consuming ressources, and accumulating play time for steam.

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 2,419 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 is beautiful horror. I have played other scary games before. I'm not sure I've ever played another scary game this lovely. The art direction and visual execution are top-notch, perfectly nailing the look and feel of a lived-in, retro-future lunar station. Believable architectural design, well-lit and accented by subtle atmospherics and tasteful post-processing effects, goes a long way, and the developers of ROUTINE wield those visual tools masterfully. I appreciated that there is a believable "weight" to everything in ROUTINE, from the realistic movement of your character, to the clunky heft of the Cosmonaut Assistance Tool (C.A.T.) in your hand and the resonant footsteps of the security robots occasionally roaming the halls. One can't mention those robotic footsteps without also praising the game's sound design, which is excellent across the board. With a good set of headphones or speakers, you may find yourself delighted by the punchy, techy pulsing sound of an enemy, even as your character cowers under a table like a child waiting for the threat to pass. One of my favorite design decisions in ROUTINE was the choice on the developers' part to forgo any traditional video-game-style Heads Up Display. This lack of HUD, along with the ability to observe your own body and the subtle framing of your view within the borders of your character's helmet visor, combine to make the player feel very "present," which, in a horror game, heightens the immediacy of the unfortunate situation you find yourself in. My final compliment is for the way the game's challenge consistently manages to evolve to avoid ever feeling stale. Just when you start to feel comfortable, some new wrinkle adds another dimension to the experience. Though I frequently experienced dread (and occasionally a burst of adrenaline and racing heart rate) I remained compelled to see the story through to its completion. If sci-fi horror is a genre which interests you, I believe ROUTINE is worth your attention.
9/10. Это то, что ты ожидаешь от слова хоррор. Антуражные локации, реально интересные загадки, интересное управление и механика ИПК, а так же практически полное отсутствие гайдов, что тоже добавляет реализма. Первые 3 главы враги немного менее интересные, но начиная с 4 главы начинается настоящий ужас, в прямом смысле. 10 не поставлю из за большого количества бэктрэкинга в последних главах и достаточно тупого ИИ. Крупные студии, берите рутин на заметку
Visuals, audio and atmosphere is top tier in this game. Those alone being so good are the reason I recommend this game, because the rest of this review is me pointing out negatives. If you're not a fan of invulnerable enemies chasing you, I'd recommend staying away, especially when for whatever stupid reason, this game doesn't let you pause. Plus I encountered some bugs like one of the enemies is stuck standing still forever with their head clipping through a wall, never moving or roaming around. This wasn't one of the earlier enemies that normally stand very still periodically, this one was supposed to be walking around making noise. Another one was where only way out of an area was through a vent and an enemy was standing right in front of it, refusing to move and just staring at me no matter how long I waited. I decided to then just exit the vent and accept my fate, except I simply went through said enemy.
10/10 It’s like time forgot to take me with it…
等了好多年终于出了，出的时候就立马就预购了，可当时发现机器人根本没法打死，给人的挫败感太强给我劝退了，放了很长时间没玩。最近又重新拾起，发现原来是潜行游戏，潜行失败了跑就完事了，同时有些操作比较反常也需要适应一下。能熬过了前期的劝退点，之后获得的代入感和紧张感是极强的，场景美术也是极好的，后面有些场景甚至还有点儿梦核。 唯一难受的是没hdr，好在是虚幻5，直接改engine.ini就能调出原生hdr（都是通用配置），同时那层灰蒙蒙的滤镜也消失来了，推荐一定要调了hdr来玩。
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.
