While We Wait Here is a brief yet engaging adventure that delivers a well-crafted story with intriguing characters and scenarios. However, its flaws are noticeable, particularly in its rushed ending and underdeveloped choice mechanics.

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 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.

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.

Though the story beats with customers and impending disaster can be different, the clunkiness of the experience is hard to brush aside
