About The Bench
The Bench is a puzzle adventure about an old man who leaves a retirement home to explore a colorful world with a walking stick, a newspaper and an endless supply of bread. As he goes, memories of his former life as an agent resurface, showing he is more than a simple retiree. You explore maps filled with puzzles, hidden objects and pigeons.
Lead your flock
You gather an ever-growing flock of customizable pigeons and give them commands. They can steal useful items, help solve puzzles or keep you company while you fish, doodle or nap.
Explore and play
Each colorful map has its own quirks. You can interact with the world, play harmless pranks on park visitors and maintenance staff, and disrupt picnics and parties. You can also toss passersby into the air.
The game includes mini-games and activities such as solving puzzles, doodling in a notebook, playing chess, bowls and football, and fishing. It also features Twitch integrations.
