Evaluation
Wait! Life is Beautiful! Prologue is a free-to-play prologue chapter released on August 6, 2020. The store description and short description make clear this is a standalone prologue — a self-contained slice of the full game designed to let players experience one day of the protagonist's story. There are no DLC listings, no post-launch developer news posts, and no announcements of additional content for the prologue itself. As a prologue, it was released as a complete, finished product by design. No developer communications indicate any further updates or content additions are planned for this specific title. The full game ("Wait! Life is Beautiful!") is a separate product; this prologue functions as a demo/preview and shipped as a complete package on its release date.
Evidence
Short description explicitly frames this as a prologue allowing players to 'try and live one day of Will's life' — confirming it is a complete, bounded experience shipped at launch.
Store description describes a narrative experience centered on one day of a protagonist's life on a suicide bridge — consistent with a self-contained prologue chapter rather than an ongoing or expanding product.

About this game
The process of playing Wait! Life is Beautiful! is similar to watching a film that stimulates a nerve, especially when the viewer finds themselves immersed in the protagonist's anxious state of mind. At the center of the plot is a young guy, an ordinary clerk, he is not at all a hero, and certainly not a magician.
Watching him, we are instilled with his emotions such as tiredness from the monotony of life and depressing thoughts about the meaninglessness of life. However, there is a desire to change his life for the better, to look for a new meaning - in empathy, compassion, while helping others.
As we try to engage in dialogue with potential suicide victims, we can study their problems and carefully choose the right words in an attempt to talk them down. This can be difficult because the main character tends to cover up his fear with black humor and an ironic attitude to what is happening. This is his defensive reaction. Against the background of stress from the stories he heard and his regrets about the departed, the main character begins to see dark psychedelic dreams that give rise to a feeling of approaching madness.
However, do not forget: all events and characters in the game are fictional. Moreover, the game does not aim at saving everyone. The only purpose is to make you think.
