While Waiting is a humorous logic game, dedicated to the theme of patience and anticipation. It was developed by the independent studio Optillusion, which has in its portfolio a similar genre project Moncage.

Gameplay

In While Waiting, we most often watch the action from the side (although there are situations where the camera changes perspective, for example to third-person). The game was divided into missions, each of which presents a different real-life situation, forcing our character to wait. This includes situations like waiting for the arrival of a bus, renewing action points in a mobile game, the possibility of getting on a Ferris wheel in an amusement park, or even waiting for the first "like" under a new post on a social networking site.
