Apocalyptic Restaurant Management Sim ‘While We Wait Here’ Announced [Trailer]
Bad Vices Games is continuing their dive into the horror restaurant management sim genre with While We Wait Here, a psychological horror restaurant management game about the end of the world. The game will launch on Steam in 2024.
Previously, Bad Vices Games had tackled restaurant management with their Sweeney Todd-inspired Ravenous Devils. With While We Wait Here, you’ll be in charge of running a small diner located near a mountain range. That involves the usual taking of orders from your customers, cooking and serving the food and keeping them happy. That gets flipped when news of an impending catastrophe is broadcasted.
Strangely, your customers either seem to ignore the broadcast, or are content with the impending Apocalypse, chalking it up to payback for what they have done in their life. You can either convince your patrons to head for the shelter, or wait it out with them, offering them food for thought as you listen to their stories.
As you might expect, While We Wait Here will feature multiple endings, though the developers describe the game as a “meditative experience with no game over, where there is no right or wrong, and where each choice is yours alone.” And really, the contemplation of time and impending doom is a rather unsettling topic that definitely needs more exploring.
