While Waiting

The embodiement of that "what if I suddently did this" question in our head. Simply an amazing experience, I felt genuine sadness seeing myself reach the end of this game but it is polished from start to finish with a charming story and a lot of humour; the art style is very unique and I love it.

I only played half of the game before dropping it which I feel is important to note, though the way the game is levels of the same type of gameplay I don't think my opinion would've changed by the end. The concept of this game is so good and the levels themselves clearly have a lot of creativity and thought put into them but the controls are clunky and it's pretty unforgiving with time limits (I thought going into honestly there'd be ample time as we are waiting) and the specifics of the goals of each level. I think this game would've benefitted from having more steam achievements also! Also you move around painfully slowly which when there is a time limit to each level is very frustrating. I'm really sad because I was SO looking forward to this game ):

To set your expectations, this is not your typical game - it's more of a concept exploration filled with nice art and fun Wario-Ware-like mini games. While most games re-use mechanics to get value, I really respect the developers for keeping me on my toes by making no-two-interactions the same. I went into each level not knowing what to expect or how to play it, and honestly I felt like I had my value about 30% into the game, so I was surprised to see another 70 levels waiting for me. The amount of unique minigames they stuffed in here is actual insanity. I also really liked the narrative arc that happens throughout. I felt the experience and journey they set out for me, and was feeling a bit emotional at the very end of it. If you're looking for something unique, novel, and relaxing, this is a great pick-up.

Probably best to not try and 100% this because the controls for the gamey parts are kind of janky and there are some tight time limits but definitely worth a play if you want a chill series of puzzles that you can choose to engage with or ignore. I got emotional during the back third.

Loved it the art is super cute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpFHvRlKiAU&list=PLHO_p3rWIB6fsThocll8xlk_TJ1_1t1Wo&index=61

frustrating and uninteresting
