Sci‑Fi Horror Game ROUTINE Launches on PC and Xbox With Day One Game Pass

Lunar Software’s slow-burn lunar-base thriller emphasizes a tactile 1980s aesthetic with minimal on-screen guidance to deepen immersion.

Overview

  • ROUTINE is available now on PC via Steam and Xbox PC, on Xbox consoles including Xbox Cloud, and it launches as a Day One title on Xbox Game Pass.
  • Set on an abandoned moon base, the game leans into a retro‑analogue vision of the future inspired by 1980s technology.
  • The design removes waypoint markers and most HUD elements, using environmental cues and a PDA to track tasks and help players find their way.
  • The Cosmonaut Assistance Tool (C.A.T.) serves as a key device for accessing terminals, navigating the environment, and identifying clues.
  • Exploration builds into stealth and survival against robotic threats across contrasting sectors such as living quarters, tram stations, and an abandoned mall.
