About this game
Description
Supplied by the Steam store
HELL WAIT is a riichi mahjong roguelike deckbuilder inspired by Balatro, Inscryption, and Buckshot Roulette.
Beat an ever-increasing score target, with your fingers on the line - so try not to deal in.
Features:
Over 100 Joker tiles that affect scoring, drawing, and other game rules
Enhance your tiles with materials, stickers, and dora
Different tile sets to change how you build your deck each run
Upgrade yaku using Blessings to turn modest hands into monsters
Make dark Pacts to manipulate your tiles and gain the upper hand
Mix and match difficulty modifiers for a greater challenge
A comprehensive tutorial
No mahjong knowledge required - mechanics like furiten are optional difficulty modifiers, and your opponent will even state his intent. Though he might be lying.

Demo Update 2026/10/21
There have been several reports of the game crashing when starting a new run, but only if the demo had been played before the previous update.This update updates Godot from 4.6.0 to 4.6.3.It also reverts the previous change, so Vulkan is now the default renderer again.If you want to force dx12, you can add the --rendering-driver d3d12 flag to the launch options in Steam. If it still crashes after this, please post in the forum with more details!Also there were reports before of "green blobs" appearing, that I think were probably the smoke textures not rendering correctly. Please share a screenshot if you see this too!

The default renderer on windows has been changed to DX12 instead of Vulkan. This should hopefully fix issues with green blobs.The way the game enters full screen has changed, it may fix issues that linux users have reported with this.

I may have gone a little overboard with the difficulty changes!This update remedies that slightly:Raised luck and the strength of luck slightlyRaised the baseline luck for the Classic deck slightlyLowered the speed at which Jimmy gets to tenpai by 1 turn

Almost 2000 people have played the demo so far! And many of you have given very useful feedback.Here are some updates:BalanceLuck has been nerfed - the strength of it, and also the rate at which you accumulate it. The luck you get from repeated rounds has also been halved. But luck now also helps those going for ron.There is now less leeway and things will get difficult more quickly with each repeat.Score targets for matches 2 to 7 have been increased, and match 11 too.The money values for midori dora and gold tiles have been swapped - gold now gives £3 and midori dora gives £2.Half Flush, Full Flush, Half Outside Hand, Fully Outside Hand, Pure Straight and Three-coloured Sequences no longer lose value when your hand is open.Some sequence yaku have been made stronger: Flat Hand, Pure Straight, All Straights, Double Sequence and Double Double Sequence.6 new yaku: Uniform Hand, Mirrored...

There is now a physical button to view the deck, so you don't need to press tab each time.The deck view remembers your settings from the last time you used it.It also has a row at the top for showing permanent choices made (handsaw, debit card, etc).And when selecting a deck at the start of a run, you can see the tiles in it too.Magma tiles have been made to look slightly less bad.The feedback form is now not just in English (though the text there is a placeholder for now).When you select a choice that costs HP, there is now a pain effect to make it more obvious that you lost health.
