There are few things we all do in life more than wait for stuff. We wait for big events. We wait for anxiety-inducing deadlines. Wait for friends and family to get back to us. Wait for the weekend. We wait for games.
What if I told you that this collective experience could somehow be transformed into a video game? And what if I told you that a video game about the very act of waiting for stuff to happen is actually pretty fun? In my quarter-century of playing video games, I have rarely played a game with as outlandish (and creative) a premise as While Waiting. But somehow, indie developer Optillusion’s experimental title comes together as a cozy and hilarious romp through the mundanities of life.
