GamesWhile Waiting

Game overview

While Waiting is a unique game, built around the moments that most other games skip over. Mixing humour with thoughtful storytelling, it turns everyday waiting into the core of the experience, following life’s timeline from birth to old age.

Each scenario places you in a familiar 'waiting' situation and invites you to engage with it. There are no speed boosts, skip buttons or tricks to rush the clock. The whole point is learning how to exist in the pause – that's how you move forward.

The tone shifts between funny and reflective. One moment you’re laughing at the situation; the next, you’re contemplating deep ideas about time, patience and how people handle uncertainty. It keeps things light on the surface, but there's depth underneath.

Even when it seems like nothing is happening, more is going on than you realise. Hidden jokes, subtle interactions and Easter eggs are tucked away in the quiet moments, rewarding those who stay curious and pay attention.

If you like games that experiment with structure and message, While Waiting turns downtime into actual gameplay and makes it worth sticking around.
