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. ▌

В игре был заложен очень большой потенциал, но она его не реализовала. !Дальше могут быть спойлеры! Первое: в игре ужасный гейм-дизайн. Я прошел достаточно камерных хорроров, но таких тупняков, как в ROUTINE, я не ловил нигде. Иногда просто не понимаешь чего от тебя хочет игра и в какую текстуру тыкаться, чтобы сработал скрипт и ты пошел дальше. Неоднократно приходилось открывать ютуб и смотреть, как прошел той или иной сегмент другой человек. Это ооочень выбивало из погружения. Опять же, вроде это не я тупой, ибо в других играх такая проблема встречалась крайне редко, а в этой я раза 3 смотрел гайд, пока на фоне в игре стонал монстр. Кроме того, в игре как минимум одна очень душная загадка на которую тоже ушло много времени и я просто душился, а не наслаждался атмосферой хоррора. Второе: очень тупые и слабые роботы/монстры. Они весьма медленные и быстро забывают о тебе. Несмотря на кучу тупняков из-за гейм-дизайна и загадки, я не умер НИ РАЗУ. Из-за этого частично теряется ощущения страха и сильно спадает напряжение, ведь ты точно знаешь, что сможешь легко убежать. Третье: абсолютно безликий главный герой и отсутствие каких-либо диалогов. В подобных играх почти всегда раскрывается ГГ, герой переживает какие-то душевные терзания и так далее (особенно, когда он сходит с ума). В ROUTINE же, ГГ просто пустая оболочка, о которой за всю игру мы не узнаем ничего. Мы просто инженер. Точка. Сюжет и второстепенные персонажи - средние. Письма и аудиокассеты изучать интересно, но они не такие глубокие, как в других играх подобного жанра. Сюжет мог быть куда сильнее, если б у ГГ был характер и через призму безумства из-за Канала, раскрывалась его история. Из явных плюсов могу точно отменить приятную стилизованную графику, саунддизайн, анимации, интересные механики с АПК, а также эффект присутствия. Оценка: 5/10. Пожалуй, это пока первая игра в жанре, которую я бы не рекомендовал к покупке (разве что по хорошей скидке).

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

This is my favourite game. Absolutely beautiful.
The dev took the presentation aspect of this game, strapped it to a rocket and shoot it right into the surface of the moon. That's how I would describe the visuals, style and atmosphere of the game. It's a thumbs up for presentation alone. Everything else is mediocre though. If you love retrofuturistic style then this game is a solid trip for you, the price is very reasonable IMO. Gameplay is mediocre in the most neutral way, nothing really exciting and nothing really annoying. Story is a big letdown for me though, because I have very high expectation for it due to how good the visuals and atmosphere are. But the overall experience isn't ruined by it so I still give it a thumbs up. My play time is very accurate IMO, I did get stuck on 3 of the puzzles but I was also skimming through all the documents with something I already know, like the typical "What's going on!! People are dying!! We need to do something!!" that sort of things, so it balances out. And I only got game over 3 times, 2 of them were me testing my weapon and confirming what I was expecting(don't bother) so I lost less than 10 mins of progress.
Great environment, terrible game.
I didn't know what to expect but I fell in love with it. It's in my top 10 and probably the most immersive game I've ever played.
I'm too much of a scaredy cat to play horror games. I'm stuck in the Mall because I'm too scared ;_;
S tier cosmic horror. Incredible atmosphere and audio design. Worth your time.
Понравилось внимание к мелочам, хорошо сделана. Головоломки интересные. Ретро дизайн на высоте
Muito bom recomendo pra quem quer um mistério com uma historia boa.
If you enjoy Alien Isolation, or just in general Sci-fi horror, this is a must-play. Whether you are waiting for the Alien Isolation sequel game to come out or just want to experience a one-of-a-kind game, this is simply THE must-play game. I enjoy horror in all its forms, painting, writing, audio drama, video games, movies, photography, and anything else. I absolutely love horror in all its forms, and I especially love sci-fi horror, but there is very little good sci-fi horror and even less horror nowadays that gets to me. But this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game is so good. The best way to get rid of fear is dissociation, which is bordering on impossible when it feels like I am right there, with its almost photorealistic graphics laid in a thick layer of VHC static. Many times, I just sat in small corners as I listened to the horrors walk past me in utter dread and fear; nothing prepared me for this game, and I recommend going into this game almost completely blind if you can. 1: I think the biggest problems I have with the game are that it is a little bit short, you can beat it in less than a day, which I sort of expected with the game looking so good as it does; you have to cut your losses somewhere, and better this game comes out in 2025 rather than 2035, but I think one more area with the [spoiler] Robots [/spoiler] would have been nice. 2: I believe there should be fewer batteries everywhere. The game makes a big deal about your C.A.T running out of batteries, but this only happened maybe twice in my whole playthrough, and when it runs out of batteries you can still save, and even then there is usually a big pool of them around most save areas. I personally believe they should have given you 5 charges on your CAT instead of 3, make there be overall fewer batteries in the whole game, and make it require batteries only for stunning and saving. Opening doors should not cost batteries, but maybe that is just me? 3: The story is a little bit too esoteric, and I love some weird hard-to-understand ♥♥♥♥, but even I was a biiit confused as to what this game is really about, but I am also very stupid 4: They game really could have used with a little bit more indication on where to go, a blinking light or something of that sort. along with a map on your CAT device, A third little slider that when activated let you see a map of everywhere you have walked in a given area. Overall, I think this game is a must-play if you like weird sci-fi, horror, both, or just want to see if it will give you a heart attack, even with the few faults this game has. It is a clean 8.5/10 must-play
