While Waiting is a puzzle game developed and published by the American indie studio Optillusion Games for Steam, PC, and mobile devices.
While Waiting challenges you to make your own fidgety fun as you puzzle through life's little pauses, Rock Paper Shotgun (March, 15 2024)
Gameplay
editThe game is divided into 100 levels, following Adam's life from birth to death.
All the situations are inspired by real life, such as waiting for the bus, standing at the supermarket checkout, or waiting for a text message.
The goal of the game is to do nothing, but if players want to keep themselves occupied, they can complete challenges to collect stickers. The challenges serve no purpose other than to earn stickers and pass the time.
“Often, when we’re waiting – whether for a bus, in traffic, or in a line – we seek ways to entertain ourselves,” says producer Dong Zhou in The Guardian. “People just play with their phones because there is nothing to do, but is that even true? I believe everyone hates waiting, but that’s just because they are not playful enough. We want to create a game from every mundane moment to help players find their own ways to kill time[1].”
Development
editWhile Waiting is developed by Optillusion Games, an independent game studio based in Irvine, LA, United States.
The studio worked on Moncage, a puzzle adventure game where player explore a fascinating world trapped inside a mysterious cube.
Originally a two-member team from a school project, the studio has expanded to a team situated between the US and China.
Release
editA free demo with 10 levels is available on Steam.
Awards
editWhile Waiting was in the official selection at Day of The Dev 2024, Guerrila Collective 2024, Wholesome Direct and Indie Live Expo 2024
