Review
While Waiting presents an intriguing concept, blending narrative with contemplative gameplay, it ultimately stumbles due to pacing issues and a lack of engaging interactivity. The game's art style and soundtrack are undeniably impressive, creating an evocative atmosphere that draws players in. However, the slow pace and some ambiguous story elements can deter engagement, leaving players grappling with confusion rather than connection. For those who appreciate a more introspective gaming experience, While Waiting offers a unique but flawed journey.Background information
Other reviewers have noted the game's impressive art direction and sound design, praising its emotional weight. However, many have also pointed out that the game's slow tempo might not cater to the broader audience that prefers more fast-paced engagement, suggesting it may appeal primarily to niche players who enjoy narrative focus over traditional gameplay mechanics.Screenshots
