Routine is a first person horror exploration game set on an abandoned Moon base. Your job is to find enough data to uncover the truth behind the strange disappearance of everyone stationed on the Lunar Research Station.

A non linear experience lets you explore any part of the fully open Moon base and find out secrets that other players may not!
Be immersed with Full body awareness, Deadzone aiming, no HUD, no health bars or points system... you must run, hide and survive the best you can against what lurks in the base.
There are no health packs or multiple lives, in Routine there is a Perma death system that will keep you on the edge!

Well that's sounds and looks very promising.
But without any health point system and perma death I guess it could get very frustating as anything that is life threatening will kill you instantly?
A more complex life system may be appropriate like, getting a crippled leg or something like that. But well, guess I'll have to play it to see how they make you cope with that.

Just watching the video makes you get dragged into the game, when I just think about how it will be to play it, you will probably get totally immersed into it.

Wow, that actually looks terrifying, loving the atmosphere and visuals in that gameplay video, its got a very cool eighties look to it.

Looks interesting, but Steam is a no-go. Being that this seems to be an indie title (maybe?), they may release it without DRM. Will keep an eye on it, thanks for the heads-up.

Wow, that looks delicious. Thanks for the update!

I recently started playing through NOLF 1 and 2 again! I forgot there was a 3rd.

Routine is a game I have been forward to since it was on Steam Greenlight. My guess is that it will do the same thing that some games do on Steam and not use the Steam DRM so you can launch the game without it running.

Contract J.A.C.K has its moments, but its nowhere near as slick as the other NOLF games.
Wish lithtech would go back to being the game professionals they once were

Good to see this is allready posted here.. I came to post it actually..

This game looks like it could be a possible "sequel" to system shock in the atmospheric way ofcourse.. It looks like it has that same feel as system has when you play it :-) Something i hoped Dead Space would have had, but didnt really have at least not for me.. This looks way more promissing in that matter..

RPS interview with the developers of Routine.

[68258b41773ceKolya]

Apparently SS2 was part of the inspiration.

@domcom360 Not at all to be honest, initial inspiration from games i would be: Whiteday, SS2, D3 and Dark Souls (mostly movies though!) Aaron Foster (@LunarSoftware) June 27, 2013

[68258b41774cfTricky]

Alright stop posting things now Kolya, I'm getting goosebumps all over.

I know this game. I kind of remember it to be initially some sort of point a click mechanic based adventure with static backgrounds rendered in first person.
The video shows definetely a different story: now it seems in real time.
Did they change it on the road or is it just me not remembering correctly?

Foster: I started all this in Unreal, because I don’t have any real experience in technical programming. Unreal at least has a visual scripting language, which I can handle, but it meant that what I was doing was quite basic. So at the start Routine was a small project which was really just about the atmosphere. It was much closer to Dear Esther.

You are not remembering correctly.
