Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be an old man sitting on a park bench? What does he do all day, sitting there with his newspaper, lost in thought, as time drifts by? With a walking stick in hand, an endless supply of bread (and plenty of comfortable benches), you’ll explore a colorful world full of puzzles, hidden objects, and of course… pigeons ! Throughout your adventure, you’ll lead an ever-growing flock of adorable, customizable pigeons that will follow your every command: make them steal useful items, help you solve puzzles, or simply keep you company while you fish, doodle, or nap. In The Bench , pigeons are your best friends. Play harmless pranks on park visitors and maintenance staff, disrupt picnics and parties, toss passersby into the air, and interact with the world around you however you like! The world outside the retirement home is full of life and color, and as you carry on your escape, memories of a life once lived as an agent resurface, reminders that you’re far from being just a simple retiree. Explore beautifully designed, colorful maps, each with its own quirks, and dive into fun mini-games: solve puzzles, doodle in your notebook, play chess, bowls, football, or go fishing. There’s always something to keep your mind sharp, and stop you from dozing off. Perfect for fans of puzzles, hidden objects, and adventure games, The Bench is a delightful blend of relaxation and challenge, with a touch of wholesome humor. The game also features a list of unique Twitch integrations to discover.
