A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

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.
