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. ▌

아이템 표시가 미묘하고 길찾기가 어려워서 좀 헤맸다, 스토리가 좀 신기함.
场景做得很逼真，但是没啥意思
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 2,404 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.

короче смысл игры такой: человечество зародилось на луне. однажды, во время лунотрясения, 2,5 метра беременный гуль оттолкнулась двумя ногами и улетела в космос в сторону земли. сама гуль естественно погибла, но плод пережил путешествие, потому что он же ну как в батискафе же типа. ну и родился он уже на земле короче. вот так и получились люди. держите это в голове во время прохождения.
This game was SUCH a Great horror game!! From the atmosphere to all its game mechanics/puzzles were so cool and intricate. Would love to see another game!!
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
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.
氛围感很不赖，就是无引导这一点挺看人口味的，解密很硬核，反正我挺好这口
Fully disclosure I've been following this game for a very very long time and was worried I'd never get to play. From the very first screenshots before we even had a trailer I was in. The UI, sound design, environments, and mechanical devices are hands down some of the best of any game I've played. The entire vibe is just so pitch perfect and everything marries incredibly well. The models and animations in concert with the sound design and UI just feed into one another so beautifully you feel the weight and analog nature of everything. It's certainly short so I can understand some reluctance to jump in, but I was locked in from the moment I hit go. I could wander these halls for hours. There are so many story telling treasures to find that help build the mystery and create a picture of the station before your arrival. No real handholding aside from the intro guiding you on how to use your tools and they're all built into the environment which helps keep that atmosphere. I am eager for more in this world.
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.
