While Waiting Releases

[Laguna Hills, Feb 5th, in the year of our Lord 2025] – Optillusion Games is proud to announce the release of While Waiting, an innovative and thought-provoking game that transforms the universal experience of waiting into an interactive journey. The game is now available on PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch, launching with a 10% discount for a limited time.

Waiting is a part of everyday life. People wait in line, wait for messages, wait for food to arrive, wait for a response, wait for something to happen. It is often seen as lost time—empty moments between real events. But While Waiting challenges that perception, turning waiting itself into the central gameplay mechanic.

With 100 uniquely designed waiting scenarios, the game explores waiting in all its forms—mundane, absurd, meaningful, and surreal. One moment, a player may find themselves waiting for a bus to arrive. The next, they might be waiting for a cup of noodles to be ready. Each scenario offers something new, whether it’s a simple observation, a hidden interaction, or an unexpected twist.

Unlike most games, While Waiting does not demand action. Players can simply do nothing and still progress. But for those who choose to explore, engage, and push the boundaries, surprises await. A small action could lead to an entirely different experience, an amusing reaction, or even an existential revelation.

"Waiting is often dismissed as wasted time, but in reality, it is a moment full of possibilities. What if we could make waiting itself an adventure? What if choosing to do nothing was as meaningful as choosing to act? While Waiting is a playful exploration of these ideas."

While Waiting is perfect for both casual players looking for short, engaging sessions and those who enjoy deeper, more introspective gameplay. With no traditional objectives or fail states, it is a game that rewards curiosity and experimentation.
