While We Wait Here

Story & overview

About the game

Share thoughts and hot food with your last ever clients, as you wait for the world to end. Tackling themes of time, the armageddon and the intricacies of human psychology, While We Wait Here promises to be as deep as it does captivating, as players must juggle between the mundanity of flipping burger patties and pouring soda to the frighteningly serious threat that lies outside the diner’s doors.

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?
