'While We Wait Here' Is A Psychological-Horror, Restaurant Management Game Coming To PC In 2024 - Screens & Trailer

Fusing psychological-horror and restaurant management, While We Wait Here will tackle themes of time, the armageddon and the intricacies of human psychology, promising to be as deep as it does captivating.

You run a diner on a desolate highway when an unexpected TV interruption reveals the world as we know it is in imminent danger. When surrounded by fear and panic, will you encourage your clients to run or stay? What choices will you make, and how will you behave on your last day on Earth?

Share thoughts and hot food with your last ever clients, as you wait for the world to end.

Tackling themes of time, the armageddon and the intricacies of human psychology, While We Wait Here promises to be as deep as it does captivating, as players must juggle between the mundanity of flipping burger patties and pouring soda to the frighteningly serious threat that lies outside the diner’s doors.

Combining restaurant management mechanics with the creeping fear of the unknown and the impending end of the world as we know it, you’ll meet characters from all over the country, discover their psyche, feel their fears and regrets, playing a decisive role in their, and your, eventual redemption or demise.

With a strong narrative, multiple choices and endings, and a fresh gameplay perspective, While We Wait Here will have you questioning every choice you’re about to make. Will you head for shelter at Mount K, encouraging your guests to do the same, or will your instincts keep you from making the trip, opting to ride out your fate while you wait here, where you’ve always waited?


 “When we launched Ravenous Devils last April, we knew we had something strong, but we couldn’t have imagined the impact it would have on us as a small indie studio” Said Eleonora Vecchi at Bad Vices Games. “Enter While We Wait Here! Making games is our passion, and with this announcement we want to go from strength to strength, aiming to release another that’ll make players squirm, shout and jump out of their seats!”
