Sometimes I hate myself. I was pressing a repeatedly before getting to the main menu and started a new game by error, deleting my game completely. I wasn't too far from the ending, so I just watched a video instead. The game's story is divided in two. The second part starts slow again but gets a bit scarier than the first part. Not the type of survival horror I'm used to play, but the game is good and interesting. The best part is the setting for me, I'd give it a 7.5 or 8.

    I have never met someone who lost their saves back-to-back before, hahaha. What nefarious spirit did you anger to call this curse upon you? Also that sounds like a remarkably bad save system in Routine, unfortunately.

    I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll definitely keep an eye out for it during future sales. I've heard others praise the setting too, that's definitely one of the things I'm attracted too. Especially the interior and clutter design, which very few games get right.

    I should have used more than one save slot, but no autosave slots is a design flaw IMO. I've never had this problem before as far as I remember. Maybe during the 5th or 6th generation, who knows.

    I think the game makes you wander around a bit too much a couple of times, but it's nothing obnoxious. It's obvious that the game was made by a small team, but I think it's very well done for what it is.
