“+场景互动解密类游戏，游戏采用极简的手绘画风，演绎阿蛋从投胎开始，到生命结束的一生。
+真·挂机也能通关的游戏，游戏没有任何引导，需要自行探索，当然一时间一到也能自动通关。
+100个关卡可游玩，内容相当之丰富，不仅很好的演绎剧情，还能够在场景中寻找到很多好玩的事物，质量均衡。

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
