Wait: The Patient

Wait: The Patient is a non-combat mystery horror game set in a mental hospital in the mid-1990s. You explore, make decisions and solve riddles as Dr. Fincher, a psychologist whose work is disrupted by the arrival of a strange young patient. As an ominous connection develops between them, strange phenomena begin in the hospital, prompting Dr. Fincher to investigate.

Explore the hospital

The horror is atmospheric and contains no jump scares. You can explore the hospital in every time phase and search for its secrets. Side quests may affect the outcome, and cutscenes feature human voices.

Time phases

The game is divided into time phases. Moving to the next phase advances time and can change the world; your actions and decisions in one phase may alter circumstances in a later one. You choose when to switch phases, so there is no time limit and no need to rush.

Connection to Wait - Extended

Wait: The Patient is a sidestory of Wait - Extended, but is not directly related to that game's events. It may include characters and references to events connected to the base game. Each game can be played on its own; playing both in either order provides the complete picture, given the first game's possible endings.
