Indie game developer and publisher Optillusion has confirmed the official release date for their upcoming title, While Waiting. We played a bit of this game back at Summer Game Fest in 2024 and really enjoyed it, as this is a game all about doing tasks and small activities while you wait around for something to happen. Whether that be at a coffee shop, or for the bus, or waiting to be picked up. The game has been set for release on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch on February 5, but before that, you can play a free demo of it on Steam right now.
