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. ▌

Realized I hate horror games because of how arbitrarily irritating they are. Trying to put in a pass code into a terminal. Got to 3 numbers. Hit a robot with the stun gun and I was running past even though he was sparking stunned he grabbed me and killed me. Just plain annoying. Sometimes he throws you sometimes he kills you. No healthbar. There's an arbitrariness about horror games I can't stand.
This game has insane sound design, atmosphere and visuals that chill you to the bone. The no hand holding really forces you to look at your surroundings to solve problems and everytime you feel stuck and close to looking up a walkthrough, you realize you're actually dumb and didn't look closely enough what to do and it's insanely rewarding everytime. If you're someone who doesn't enjoy thinking for more than 2 minutes on what to do, I don't recommend this game. My one and only gripe is it's length, I just wish there was ONE more section, just a tiny bit more. If I wasn't scared to death I could've maybe finished it under roughly 4 hours. Because this game is so cool and brilliant it really just makes you yearn for more which bummed me out when I was done.

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.

Если кратко, то мне понравилось. Если не кратко, то [spoiler] там ♥♥♥ о ♥♥♥ то ♥♥♥♥♥ о ♥♥♥ то ♥♥♥ эта ♥♥♥ ооооаааээээ [/spoiler] Страшно - да, интересно - да, геймлпей - практически отсутствует. Это бродилка с элементами пугалки и преследующими тебя до самой твоей смерти самыми различными типами. Пара загадок, пара бэктрекингов. Сюжет тоже практически отсутствует, но эта рваность сюжета тоже вставляет. Похоже на одну из моих любимых игр - SIGNALIS. В целом рекомендую. Я испугался. [spoiler] Мистер невидимка, надеюсь, ты не наяривал там в углу смотря на меня, пока я мимо проходил. [/spoiler]
A great horror game that scratches all the correct alien vibes with a story that surprisingly feels fresh and great gameplay due to the functionalities of the CAT. Graphicswise it feels like watching found footage from the VHS era.
я обкакался
Astonishing aesthetic.
Routine is a solid and unnerving experience. The beginning couldn't prepare me for the later portions. Incredible sound, environment and prop design paired with solid voice-acting (albeit too little dialogue). A semi-solid premise that can be at times a little confusing, but fun to explore. Wish we got a little more I.C. but oh well. 4/5 Story 5/5 Props and environments 6/5 sound design. A worthwhile purchase for any horror buffs, especially on sale. Give it a try.
Однозначно рекомендую поиграть. Да, непонятно поначалу, что-то бродишь, что-то ищешь. Но если вы поймёте, что от вас хочет игра, то в целом кайфанёте от ретрофутуризма 80-х годов.За сюжетом тут шибко гнаться не стоит так сказать, додумай сам.Но самый главный плюс игры саунд-дизайн и хоррор-составляющая.
Immaculate spooky retro-future vibes, mysterious & sensical-enough plot, great environmental story telling, awesome diagetic menus, solid puzzles, and the worst stealth "gameplay" I've experienced in awhile. I'm a sucker for clicky clacky chonky computer stuff though so I still loved this.
really boring, sorry. I didnt understand the appeal.
