Short description

Ever been to a waiting room? Ever wanted to? Well now's your chance! Enter The Waiting Room, get your ticket number and wait. "For what?" you might ask. Does it matter? It is an existential life-simulation metaphor? Or a ridiculous waste of time? Well, that, my friends, is up to you.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $0.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
