Launch Window“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.”

Launch Window“While We Wait Here is an interesting indie game and despite its short length, plays with some bold ideas. For its cheap price, this one is definitely worth a few hours’ playtime, but it never quite does enough with its ideas to make for a wholly satisfying experience.”

Launch Window“While We Wait Here isn't a bad game but it didn't impact me as much as I thought it would, being a story about a group of highly different characters seeking shelter in a diner during what might be the end of the world.”
