Game of the day: While Waiting - a simulator of the art of eternal waiting in a game format
Are you tired of endless action and puzzles that make your brain boil? The developers from Optillusion offer something different - a game where the main task is... waiting. Meet While Waiting, which was released on 5 February 2025 on Steam.
Here's What We Know
While Waiting is a casual game that explores the concept of patience and acceptance. Players are invited to go through more than 100 situations, from birth to death, where the main task is to do nothing. Does it sound simple? But that's where the depth lies: the game teaches us to appreciate moments of waiting and find meaning in them.
The developers, known for their previous work on Moncage, surprise us again with an unconventional approach to game design. While Waiting invites players to immerse themselves in a meditative process where each scene is an opportunity to rethink their attitude to time and waiting.
