This is exactly what I want games to look like and it has the best sound design I've ever heard. Best example of retrofuturism I think you can find in a game. Overall this scared me way more than I thought it was going to. Definitely worth the price and time. The story is original while bizarre, and you absolutely won't predict what's going on until near the end. Don't spoil it for yourself, just go play it.

Routine is a first person perspective horror Sci-Fi adventure game that takes place inside a lunar base on the moon. In this game you explore futuristic 1980's stylized environments, use a special gun-type device to solve puzzles, and evade various enemies using stealth tactics. The game takes approximately 7 hours to 100% complete without a guide. The game's time is heavily dependent on how fast you solve the game's very intricate puzzles. + First off, the game is extraordinarily immersive. The game's graphics are photorealistic at times. The graphical filter choices that the developers chose to use during the game are tuned absolutley perfect. The lighting in this game is absolutely fantastic. All the environments throughout the game are designed with the utmost meticulous detail. Everything about the game has a very polished feel to it. + All of the sounds in the game are just as meticulously designed and immersive. From the the creaks and groans of the lunar station, to the creatures walking around the station, everything sounded amazing on headphones. Excellent audio engineering and audio placement. Some very fun retro synth Banger! dance music to be found also walking around certain areas of the game. The voice acting is well done. + The puzzles in the game are highly original, well made, and thought out. The main gun device you use throughout the game is also highly original and fun to use. + The stealth sections in the game are tuned very well to be just enough not to be too intrusive or annoying to the player, but also give the player enough fright to be scared. + A few jump scares almost gave me a heart attack. +/- A few of the puzzles will stump most players. If you're not thinking clearly or tired, you may wander around the same 5 rooms for an hour or more trying to figure out what to do, give up, and reach for a guide. However I highly recommend not using a guide. Try to let everything sink in, think clearly, and soak up the atmosphere. Usually the answer is some sort of common sense. Figuring out the puzzles yourself is highly rewarding. - The story in the game is very cliche. - The "Tape logs" found in the game are not interesting to listen to, most do not add any interesting lore. - The final quarter of the game fizzles out, instead of creating any sort of interesting specacle. - Some of the enemies are not interesting to look at. I think they could have had a bit more visual flair. This game was announced in 2012, I remember following this game in my early 30s. I am now 42. The game took Thirteen (13) years to release! Really looking forward to "Routine 2" when I am 55 years old. I'll mark it on my calender. Overall: 9/10

By far one of the best horror games i've played since Alien Isolation, has a ton of mechanics i've NEVER seen in any games and you can tell they put a lot of love into this. EDIT: I've finished the game with about 7 hours clocked, an hour was used on a difficult puzzle. It's way shorter than I expected but I feel it was worth the price.

Waited 13 years for a game I beat in less than 10 hours. Still worth it for those of us waiting for Alien Isolation 2. I compare it to Still Wakes the Deep. A short, really good horror exploration walking sim.
