Games Like ROUTINE (2026)

Shared: Permadeath, Environmental Storytelling

A brutally honest survival sim where the Canadian wilderness is the only villain. No zombies, no jump scares, just cold math and bad decisions.

Shared: Environmental Storytelling

You are Miles Upshur, a journalist with a camcorder and zero combat skills, trapped inside a psychiatric asylum that is very much still occupied.

Shared: Slow Burn

Tense SWAT tactical shooter where hesitation gets your team killed and perfect plans fall apart the moment a door opens.

Shared: Permadeath

Surviving alone was already brutal - surviving with friends who make catastrophic decisions is another beast entirely. A deep, unforgiving co-op survival game that rewards patience, preparation, and someone on the team who knows what a Science Machine actually does.
