Short description

About this game
Wait: The Patient is a mystery horror game with strong influences (pertaining wholly to the atmosphere) from H.P. Lovecraft, the Silent Hill series and other games from the era of 3rd person survival horror games. It is a non-combat experience that consists of exploring, making decisions and solving riddles. Story: Based in in the mid '90s, the game follows Dr. Fincher, a psychologist who has recently begun working at a mental hospital until her typical work day gets disrupted by the arrival of a new, strange patient - a young man surrounded by an eery air. An ominous chemistry builds between the two, and at the same time, an onset of strange phenomena begins within the hospital. Dr. Fincher decides to investigate. Time System: Wait: The Patient is separated into time phases. Switching to the next phase will have time moving forward and in turn change things in the game world. Depending on your actions or decisions in one phase, circumstances may have changed in a following phase. It is up to you when to switch phases, so there is no time limit and no need to rush. The Bigger Picture: This game itself is a sidestory of Wait - Extended, and while it is not directly related to the events of Wait - Extended, there may be characters and mentions of events that relate to the base game. Each game can be enjoyed on its own, but for the complete picture it is recommended to play both, in any order as per the various potential endings of the first game. Key Features: Purely atmospheric horror with NO jump scares Explore the hospital in all time phases and find all its secrets Profound side quests that may change the outcome Human Voiced cutscenes
