    "Wait" is a mystery horror game, inspired by the works of H.P Lovecraft and the Silent Hill series.
    The gameplay is put together by elements of exploration and riddle solving. Feel free to interact with almost everything you see and discover.​

    Background:

    We created "Wait" for the 2014 Indie Game Maker Contest and therefore had a time limit of 4 weeks to complete it.
    Through the progress of creation we grew fond of it and so did several people who played it. Now we decided to
    create an extended version in which we could implement everything we had originally planned,(such as alternate endings, achievements, more rewarding secrets and visuals)
    hence the name "Wait - Extended".​
     ​
     ​
     ​
    What is "Wait"?

    The game is all about atmosphere and we wanted to support that by giving the player the opportunity
    to interact with almost every object at different times during the game. It's about exploration and discovering what is happening around you.
    Furthermore we used very little of the standard RPG Maker VX RTP in order to create a modern age environment and make it as realistic as possible.​

    Character Bio:
     ​
    "Wait" is happening around a young man, the player knows nothing about.
    And it's intended to be that way. You are literally thrown into another man's life and you can find out more about who that man is, by exploring.
    His behaviour, his characteristics are slowly revealed through interacting with objects or continuing with the story.

    All you know is: this story starts in an apartment and he is the tenant.

    Credits:

    Almost everything is selfmade or from RPG Maker DLC Content, such as ModernDay Tiles and Futuristic Tiles.
    Apart from that we used some sprites from Ayene, found on http://www.rpgmakervx.net
    and Khas Awesome Light Effects from Khas Arcthunder (arcthunder.site40.net), but we are currently working on our own light script.​

  4. ILOVEITILOVEITILOVEIT!!

    Just played through the first few minutes and I'm hooked.  Incredibly atmospheric and intelligently designed.

    Will post more fb when I've played through the demo!
  5. Played the demo through and VERY keen to play more.

    Congratulations on creating EXACTLY the sort of atmosphere I was expecting from a game with such influences as Silent Hill and HP Lovecraft.

    Just noticed one very minor bug...

    Spoiler
    When you go to get a plate of food from the fridge without cleaning up the empty plate already on the table the full plate disappears and is replaced by the empty plate.
  6. Thank you so much for your feedback. Complimenting the atmosphere means a lot to us.

    And also thank you for reporting that bug.
    That's wrong in every way.

    Spoiler
    If you haven't cleaned up the old plate, you are not supposed to be able to get a new one.
     
  7. Glad to help and CAN'T WAIT to see more!
  8. The bug has been fixed and a new version has been uploaded. :)
