“《阿蛋等什么》应该是一款表面看上去简单但却暗藏玄机的游戏，这款游戏甚至简单到玩家只需要开始游戏剩下什么都不管即可在等待中推进流程迎来结局。
甚至说我们还可以不停按下Tab键去加速这个流程，如此一来100关的流程转瞬即逝，阿蛋的人生也匆匆过去。——Shelter”

Reviews

“Here, biding time isn’t a chore. That’s because the narrative arc of one’s life feels true.”
The New York Times

“A delightfully quirky insight into things that we may do and think about every day, month, or year, but never really discuss much.”
PC Gamer

“Possibly the best way to describe While Waiting is that it’s what would happen if WarioWare also tried to tell the story of a human life.”
The Verge
