Evaluation

While We Wait Here launched on October 23, 2024 at $4.99 across multiple platforms including Steam. The game is a self-contained narrative kitchen management experience with dialogue choices and multiple endings — a design that is complete by nature. The only DLC is the Original Soundtrack, which released simultaneously with the game on launch day. Following release, the developer posted three rounds of minor bug fixes (October 24, October 27, and December 5, 2024), addressing small typos, localization improvements, and gameplay edge cases. There have been no announcements of additional content, expansions, or future updates since December 5, 2024, and no unreleased DLC is listed on the store. The developer has not communicated any plans for post-launch content additions. This game launched as a complete, finished product.

About this game



‘While We Wait Here’ is a kitchen management game with dialogue choices and multiple endings.


Run a small diner located near a mountain range, take orders from your customers, cook them good food and serve them refreshments.

The equilibrium of an ordinary working day is shattered when news of an impending catastrophe is broadcasted.


Now looming over the characters is the catastrophic threat of the end of the world. At the diner, some of your customers seem to ignore it, blinded by their own problems they play the whole thing down or even refuse to believe it. Others welcome it as punishment for what they have done in their life. As you wait inside the diner, listen to their stories and offer them food for thought.


Will you convince your customers to run for shelter, or will they stay at the diner, waiting for the end?

FEATURES:

○ Talk to customers in your diner about the impending end of the world and help them make choices as you grill burgers, cook fries, flip pancakes and wash the dishes.
○ A psycho-horror with multiple endings in which you try and solve your troubled customers’ varying problems.
○ A meditative experience with no game over, where there is no right or wrong, and where each choice is yours alone.
○ Dozens of unique first-person interactions.
○ Faced with death, observe the range of human dynamics from behind a counter.
○ Fully voiced-over characters.
