Feb 19, 2025Playing While Waiting made me look back at my own life and reminisce about the good, the bad and the things I’ve yet to or maybe will never accomplish. While the game is accessible for ages I feel like it certainly would help if you’ve got some years in to fully appreciate the game’s message.

Feb 26, 2025While Waiting turns the most boring parts of a person’s life into an equally reverent and irreverent look at life itself. The 100 minigames offer plenty of variety – even if some of them add to the boredom rather than disperse it – and the overarching story will tug at your heartstrings and tickle your funny bone.

Mar 10, 2025This unique indie blends idle mechanics, clicker elements, and adventure mini-games to create a humorous and surprisingly deep reflection on how we spend our time. While some puzzles can be frustrating or disrupt the pacing, the imaginative scenarios and emotional depth make it a standout experience worth discovering.

Feb 27, 2025Both While Waiting and The Swimmer seem deeply interested in life - what it's made of, how it unfolds, and how easy it is to miss important details. Both are larks, in a way, but difficult, complex, ponderous larks. You know, if such a thing is possible.

Feb 18, 2025It's a very original concept with a lovely visual style, so it doesn't feel like a complete waste of time. But in the end, unfortunately for me, there's a predominant feeling of boredom rather than quality entertainment.
