While We Wait Here - Demo
A downloadable game for Windows
‘While We Wait Here’ is a kitchen management game with dialogue choices and multiple endings.
Run a small diner located near a mountain range, take orders from your customers, cook them good food and serve them refreshments. 
The equilibrium of an ordinary working day is shattered when news of an impending catastrophe is broadcasted.
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.
Will you convince your customers to run for shelter, or will they stay at the diner, waiting for the end?
FEATURES:
○ Talk to customers in your diner about the impending end of the world and help them make choices as you grill burgers, cook fries, flip pancakes and wash the dishes.
○ A psycho-horror with multiple endings in which you try and solve your troubled customers’ varying problems.
○ A meditative experience with no game over, where there is no right or wrong, and where each choice is yours alone.
○ Dozens of unique first-person interactions.
○ Faced with death, observe the range of human dynamics from behind a counter.
○ Fully voiced-over characters.

I really like this game, story-wise, animation-wise, and cinematic-wise! But if I may, I would like to play an extended version of just the kitchen management part. I really like the animations and controls for preparing the food.
As a former line cook, I approve this game!
The way the story plays out is the perfect level of "leaving you with more questions than answers" all while explaining everything you need to know!
worth the wait! cutscenes and animations were on point!
Full Play NO Commentary
I waited since finding the demo last year to play the full game. Here's my play of it! I adore it so much!
My bf and I played this last night. I'm so looking forward to the release! I'm very confused by the ending though *SPOILERS AHEAD*
I was taken aback by the hazmat suit people appearing and then revealing that Cliff was all bloody. Am I right in thinking that the first part of the game was the past and Cliff died because of the drunk guy (possibly because he got more belligerent after Mandy and Hank left)? It's the only thing I thought of to explain what happened in the end lol
Thank you, few days left before you can find out!
AAAA the suspense!!
I assume that the storm causes hallucinations.
That makes more sense 😅 I was looking from the lens of a psychological horror lmao
Played the demo on steam and I loved it. I can't wait for the full project to be released. I would love to create content on my stream for this game. Are you offering game codes?
Thank you ❤️

Game about the end of the world
Thank you for playing <3
Did not even saw the options for multiple endings, though looking back now, it was obvious, lol.Regardless, i enjoyed this one and I do want more, as I really like these types of plot twists stories where at first everything seems so mundane and 'default' and then BAM! I was expecting everything, but not the twist you did here with the clientele, great stuff!
Will be looking forward to full release
Thank you for playing, very nice gameplay! Expect many surprises ;)
Espetacular!
(*^‿^*)
Thank you for playing :)
Your deduction are correct, that's the way it all starts and connect with the other characters
On the voices the policeman is ai generated but it's placeholder, it will be replaced by an actor on the full game or even the next patch of the demo.
There's a rich narrative here, with characters that will stick like taffy on the roof of your mouth long after playing. Dialogue sounds like how real people would talk and there's a general feeling of foreboding throughout - who is the mysterious stranger demanding whiskey and how do events spiral out of control? The mechanics of the kitchen sim are pleasantly endearing and I simply can't wait for the full version to be released. WHEN WILL THE FULL VERSION BE RELEASED???
What kind of apocalypse is occurring outside the diner? The atmosphere that has been presented within the demo is reminiscent of a Twilight Zone episode prologue, and I was almost lulled into thinking that Rod Serling himself would pop out at the end and talk in his low, melodic baritone voice that we had stepped into another dimension.
With any good demo, this ended too quickly and left me wanting more. I have high hopes for this and will be doing a full playthrough once the full version is released.
Well done badvicesgames!
Ehi, thank you so much! We enjoyed your gameplay. Give us some months and all your questions will be answered :D
