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.

Bullet Heaven Title ‘Yet Another Zombie Survivors’ Launches in Full on August 20 [Trailer]
After sticking around Early Access on Steam for three years, developer Awesome Games Studio has announced that the time has come for their squad-building bullet heaven title Yet Another Zombie Survivors to leave the service and launch in full. That launch will take place on August 20, with the 1.0 launch arriving simultaneously on Steam, GOG, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series, with the Nintendo Switch version following shortly after.
As detailed in the new trailer, version 1.0 is the game’s biggest update yet, including a new Survivor, a new map, and a new game mode.
And, as a way to celebrate the upcoming release, the developer has made their previous title, Yet Another Zombie Defence HD, available to own for free for a limited time. You can add the game to your account from now until July 30, so get clicking.
In Yet Another Zombie Survivors, you’re dropped into a world that’s been overrun by a zombie apocalypse. You’ve had enough, and now you and your team are out to make them pay. Your squad evolves based upon your decisions as you play. Choose to go for a varied set of perks and support skills, or focus on your favorite character to alter their gear and gain their ultimate abilities. Control a lone SWAT soldier, or an entire team of mercenaries armed with a variety of weapons.
If you’re keen to check out the game prior to its launch, you can play the demo that’s currently available on Steam.
