Game Description
ROUTINE is a first-person sci-fi horror experience set on an abandoned lunar base, crafted with a striking 1980s vision of the future. What begins as a curious exploration quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival when the base falls silent, and you find yourself confronting an enemy convinced that you are the greatest threat. As you delve deeper into the eerie, desolate environment, each discovery only reveals further mysteries, pushing you onward into the unknown. The game emphasizes careful observation and slow, deliberate exploration, with no waypoint markers to guide you—navigating the base requires attentiveness to your surroundings and thorough review of collected data to uncover the path forward. Venture through diverse sectors of the lunar base, including crumbling living quarters, derelict tram stations, and an abandoned mall, piecing together the events that led to the base’s downfall. The immersive experience is enhanced by full-body awareness, diegetic audio, and a minimal user interface, creating a tense and atmospheric world. Your primary tool, the Cosmonaut Assistance Tool (C.A.T.), is essential for accessing terminals, navigating the environment, and uncovering vital clues. When faced with unknown threats, you must rely on stealth, evasion, or last-resort defense using the C.A.T., ensuring every encounter is tense and unpredictable. ROUTINE delivers a gripping journey through isolation and fear, demanding patience and sharp instincts to survive.
