    'While We Wait Here' is a kitchen management game with dialogue choices and multiple endings. Run a small diner located near a mountain range, take orders from your customers, cook them good food and serve them refreshments.

    The equilibrium of an ordinary working day is shattered when news of an impending catastrophe is broadcasted. Now looming over the characters is the catastrophic threat of the end of the world. At the diner, some of your customers seem to ignore it, blinded by their own problems they play the whole thing down or even refuse to believe it. Others welcome it as punishment for what they have done in their life. As you wait inside the diner, listen to their stories and offer them food for thought.

    Will you convince your customers to run for shelter, or will they stay at the diner, waiting for the end?

    While We Wait Here tells a very pleasant story. Despite the absence of a trial and error that I would have found very apt within the title, the parts dedicated to the preparation of dishes are also well integrated. The absolute pro goes to dubbing and atmospheres. I've always dreamed of making puncakes while the world is disintegrating out there.

    While We Wait Here does not shine with advanced technology and is far from perfect. But it is definitely worth a try for fans of intriguing plots and surreal atmospheres. The mechanics of cooking and customer service immerse you in a strange, creepy and surprising story. The fates of the characters are emotional and the moral dilemmas are truly complex. Moreover, While We Wait Here is short (only 2-3 hours) but replayable. It's a great option in the 'story game for the evening' category, especially for a few pounds on Steam.

    While We Wait Here creates a diner-sized limbo that is intriguing, unsettling, and that we would very much have liked to appreciate all the way through, but which left us somewhat disappointed by a narrative component that was more predictable than we expected.
