PLEASE WAIT

It's just an installer. How hard can it be?

PLEASE WAIT is a short comedy game that takes place entirely inside one installation window. Your only goal is obvious: get the progress bar to 100%. The installer has other plans.

A few percent in, things start to go wrong. The RETRY button runs away. The loading bar escapes the window and has to be dragged back. A percent falls out and needs to be put back in by hand. The installer asks you not to move your mouse — and then asks you to move it to generate bandwidth.
