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. ▌

On the shorter side but good for completing in one sitting, very good atsmospheric horror, audio and visuals are great. no spoilers but story gets a bit convoluted at one point, very religious at times, a bunch of birth and rebirth themes. also too many puzzles imo, in most cases you can just ignore all threats. also you learn too much too late, A would've been nicer to introduce earlier imo. 4k 120fps no problem. 8/10
Atmosphere on par with Alien: Isolation Immersion on par with a VR Game One of the most unsettling horror games I have ever played

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

Was it worth waiting more than a decade for? I think yes. Especially considering how photo-realistic it is now, and how that couldn't have happened so long ago. Great sound design, great atmosphere in general. Sometimes a tad confusing as to what to do next, as is the case with these types of games, but overall fantastic, and I highly recommend it
Mind blown. Retina ripped. Pants soiled. A masterclass in environmental storytelling wrapped in an atmosphere cold, dark & tense crafted with love and passion. Exceptional experience.
Absolute cinema
I literally saw the trailer for this 13 years ago on YouTube. Picked it up randomly in a Steam sale recently, and only realized after starting it that it was that exact game. And man, it totally delivered. It's so hard to compare this to anything else, but honestly, I'd put it on the same level as Dead Space 1, maybe even slightly above it. The story is huge, the atmosphere is 10/10, and the sound design is absolutely incredible! That 90s retro-tech vibe on a moon base just hits perfectly. I haven't been this tense playing a game in a long time. Huge props to the devs for sticking with it all these years and actually pulling it off. The only real flaw this game has is the black. Since most of the game is extremely dark, the black looks washed out and gray, which is especially noticeable if you're playing on an OLED monitor. After about an hour into the game, that gray darkness really started to annoy me. Luckily, there is a mod that completely fixes this. Once I installed it, the game looked amazing, all without ruining the intended VHS/tape filter. 100% recommend.
This game is simply amazing. I was initially interested in the style of the game, and I have to say that the game looks amazing. What's more important is the amount of times I had to put down the game, because I was simply too scared to continue, it took me a whole week to finish this game, but it was so worth it. This is a beautifully terrifying game. 9/10 would recommend.
