About ROUTINE

█ 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. ▌

An interesting game and story, definitely not your typical gore-infested horror, this is very much an atmospheric game and the devs really pulled through. The game looks amazing, genuinely, I cannot complain about any of the visual elements or aesthetic. This is a really, really brilliant atmospheric experience. Things I liked: - Atmoshphere is an 11/10, really brilliant and immersive experience. - Graphics 11/10 - Audio 11/10 - World design 8.5/10 - Aesthetic style 8.5/10 - UI and Interactive elements 8.5/10 - Playtime 7/10 - Enemy design 6/10 - Story 6/10 Things I didn't like: - The robots don't feature enough in the game - The 'monster' doesn't really behave as described in the diaries and logs, I anticipated it would be more intelligent, following and stalking my character and something to keep an eye out for and maybe distract, get chased and flee or fight it off now and again. But instead it was relatively easy to avoid and ultimately ignore. Perhaps my experience of Amnesia: The Dark Descent is leaking through a bit here. - I wish we could use the C.A.T or have a pen, or even a pocket, to be able to quickly remember progression items. Would save the character and myself th…

IMHO, [h3]Routine[/h3] is [b]the best modern horror game out there[/b]. [hr][/hr] • [b]You[/b] Its biggest strength is, without a doubt, its immersion. The protagonist remains completely silent throughout the entire game. This makes it so much easier to project yourself into their shoes — after all, a silent protagonist means they could easily have your voice. There is absolutely no HUD. Instead of a health bar, you have a strict limit on how many hits you can take from enemies. Instead of an ammo counter, your multitool has a physical battery indicator on its side that you have to check manually. Tasks aren’t listed in a separate menu either; you rely on a wireless access point to check your current objective, saved passwords, media files, and user manuals for the tool and its upgrades. This manual, hands-on approach feels incredibly satisfying, even if it makes you a bit clumsy — which only amplifies the tension and horror. • [b]Style[/b] From the very first intro cinematic, the game confidently establishes its style, while a mysterious male voice leaves you with questions, forcing every player to interpret what they hear in their own way. The story is set in a late 1970s retr…

I wish there was a sequel man! I'm eagerly anticipating whatever their next title is! You're looking at this game because you at least want a scary game of some kind . If that's your basis, then buy it. Don't wait for a discount. support them so they can make more! It's not creepy or weird or unnerving. It's a type of atmosphere that makes you understand that it can be real. And that believable angle, makes this good. Decent thrills and not cheesy or annoying. It's good. Spoiler Tip : Remember to read the instruction slides on the projector when you first get the gun ahhaha Great graphics Great gameplay and mechanics Great experience Great buy.

"Moons haunted." "Always has been" 7/10 Decent 1st person horror game, almost Silent Hill meets Alien: Isolation. Not quite my thing gameplaywise but worth it for the aesthetic and atmosphere.
