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.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
While We Wait Here is a short narrative-driven game where you run a diner and uncover the stories of your customers through dialogue choices and decisions, praised for its beautiful character designs, strong sound design, engaging storytelling, and multiple endings that encourage replays. However, players note the gameplay is quite brief, the diner management mechanics feel slow and repetitive, some writing comes across as wooden, and the plot can feel unclear or underdeveloped by the end, leaving players wishing there was more depth to both the narrative and gameplay systems.
I absolutely loved this game I been playing and giving different answers to see the different endings!!
It's a very good game and I'm kind of putting that inflection on it that makes seem like I mean that that in a bad way. I don't but it does leave you feeling like it could have been so much better by the end. I love this kind of storytelling and it's a pretty well told. There's also a nice little low stakes Cook, Serve, Delicious minigame that carries the plot. I honestly wish there were more and just wanna play Cook, Serve, Delicious again. A lot of the writing, dialogue, and performances started to get at me by the end but not at all bad or a game ruining. Just all wooden enough to notice. A lot. But again it's a good game.
Short little game but enjoyable. You own a diner serving customers but get into the back stories of them, making some decisions/offering advice.
The kind of game that makes you stare at the credits after it is finished. Great plot, good characters, and a nice setting. Cheap too :P
Overall Impression: Short, sweet suspenseful game with an interesting premise. If you’re a fan of general simulators games, NeoCab and Ravenous Devils, this one might be for you. Glows: - Character designs are BEAUTIFUL - The sound design is great, adds so much to the atmosphere - Recipes are simple, food doesn’t burn Grows: - Gameplay entirely too short! While I like the inclusion of other activities, it was solely for the sake of narrative. I wish there was an ‘endless’ mode just for the diner management - The actions are soooo long, luckily the food doesn’t burn but it takes so long to just open the freezer, wash a plate etc. - A few cutscenes felt gratuitous and included only for ambiance filler - Subtitles weren’t accurate to VO lines - Plot a bit muddy and confusing at times
enojayble and very pretty
