The Wait is Over: Sci-Fi Horror 'Routine' Launches December 4

This is not a drill. After more than a decade of development, silence, and anticipation, the seemingly mythical sci-fi horror game Routine is finally ready. Developer Lunar Software confirmed that the doors to the abandoned lunar station will open this Thursday, December 4, 2025.

Routine is a legend in the indie scene. Originally announced over ten years ago, it promised a unique non-linear experience that many thought would never see the light of day. Now, the finish line is crossed.

What to expect on the Moon:

  • 80s Retro-Futurism: Imagine the future as seen in movies like Alien. Analog tech, bulky computers, and floppy disks define the world.
  • Zero Interface: There is no HUD. Full immersion means reading data directly from in-game devices.
  • Survival over Shooting: While you have tools, this is not a shooter. You will face terrifying robots in a game of hide-and-seek where stealth is your best weapon.
  • Deadzone Aiming: A unique aiming system adds weight and tension to every encounter.

Routine launches on PC (Steam) and Xbox Series X|S, available day one on Xbox Game Pass.

Conclusion from HYPERPC:

Immersion is the core of Routine. Without a HUD to guide you, you rely entirely on visual cues and audio design. To truly experience the tension of the lunar base, you need a system that renders high-contrast lighting perfectly without technical hiccups. A premium HYPERPC build ensures that the only thing stressing you out is the game itself, not your frame rate.
