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]Routine[/i] has some of the crunchiest, most unnerving sound design I've come across in a game. Even its opening moments, which are free of threat, feel tense. I cannot sing this game's praises enough, and I know that I need to play it more. Unfortunately, I am a scaredy cat, I nearly ♥♥♥♥ my pants every time I boot it up. One day...
Immersif, effrayant, brillant. J'ai adoré

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.

Честно игра хороша , но лично для меня игра была не понятно куда идти и что делать дальше . Да возможно я привык чтоб меня вели за ручку но не я один об этом говорю а так да в целом весьма неплохо . Игра долгострой анонс был еще в 2012 , игру перезапускали несколько раз но она вышла . Пугала она будь здоров скримеры имеются, так же есть тема когда на тебя давит атмосфера . Чем то напоминает моментам Чужого изоляция . Рекомендую!
One of the better horror games of the past decade
Excellent, so much attention to detail, great atmosphere. The visual effects, tech art and post-processing people on this project are absolute mavens. The sound design is stellar, it's hard not to feel acoustically teleported into the game world, everything feeling alive.
gameplay which works as a laxative, with sound design from the devil himself
Audio design is amazing and the suspense is another level. Loved this game.
[h1]6/10[/h1] There's more good than bad, but I find it hard to recommend. It's got a story and setting that vaguely resembles something like System Shock, but it's more artsy fartsy in its implementation. I don't think the AI is as good as Alien Isolation. I also think the puzzles are needlessly tedious in Chapter 4 onwards. It made a good first impression and there were genuinely fun puzzles and gameplay moments, but the experience could have been tightened by removing ~2 hours.
Routine is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrifying.
