Mind-blown
Nov 8, 2025

The Bench is a thoughtful, funny, and oddly touching little adventure about finding freedom, friendship, and a second wind in life’s later years. Whether you’re solving puzzles, naming your 27th pigeon “Kevin,” or just sitting quietly watching the world go by, it’s the kind of game that makes you smile. If you’re looking for something laid-back but full of personality, The Bench absolutely deserves a spot on your wishlist. It’s a small game with a big heart, and a lot of pigeons.
