If you are interested , you are welcome to this discord server to talk about this game and similar games from the same survival horror genre : Habitate

If you follow the movements in the motion detector , what is happening to the green dot ?

Sevastopol is safer than at Nostromo. At Nostromo, you don't know who is actually playing the game. While playing, is it really you who is in control of the situation ?

Interestingly the sci-fi horror game has two variants of retro futuristic aesthetics within the same game.

The player starts at Union Plaza, a lunar commercial complex in the 1990s, this is the Union Plaza retro aesthetics ~

But the player finally ends up in an old scientific experiment complex called Prism Base which was functional back in 1960-70s then abandoned after a certain mishap. The retrofuturism in Prism Base is quite different as is portrayed in Union Plaza of the 1990s, and that's really intriguing ~

The environment in ROUTINE is pretty unique. It's retro ,it's cassettes everywhere , also very minimalist at the same time.

I didn't come across any personal computers but mostly shared shelf-like big consoles or huge grid-like terminals for the inhabitants to record data across the rooms in those lunar bases.

An all-in-one device to interface with all the terminals, consoles and doors called Cosmonaut Assistance Tool or C.A.T. which can also double down as a self-defense kit (rather than a full blown weapon)

Interestingly, there's more to it. There's this subtle difference in how the game developers created a 1990s retro-futuristic aesthetics (comparatively modern) to a 1970s retro-futuristic aesthetics within the same game; that is evident, when the protagonist of the game, who is from 1990s goes on to visit a 1970s lunar base as the story progresses.

Recently ordered a Lost in Cult book from the Cult Classic series, received it early with good packaging and gorgeous build quality.
