Explore a Colorful World in The Bench
VOXEL Studios and Noovola Publishing have officially released The Bench, a charming and whimsical puzzle-adventure now available on Steam for PC. In this quirky game, players step into the shoes of a mischievous pensioner whose idea of a relaxing afternoon involves feeding pigeons, solving puzzles, and causing park-wide chaos.
Armed with a trusty walking stick, a limitless supply of bread, and a vivid imagination, players explore a vibrant, hand-crafted park teeming with hidden objects, puzzles, and golden eggs to grow their pigeon army. Players can command these customizable, adorable birds to fetch items, assist in solving puzzles, or simply provide companionship. As the flock grows, so do the opportunities for creative problem-solving and lighthearted mischief.
Life outside the retirement home is far from tranquil. While playing harmless pranks, disrupting picnics, and stirring up gentle mayhem, fragments of the pensioner’s past life as an undercover agent begin to surface. This hints that there is more to this seemingly ordinary character than meets the eye.
Players can raise, customize, and direct their feathered friends in imaginative ways. They will discover secret paths, eccentric park-goers, and a host of hidden surprises throughout the colorful environment. The game encourages a relaxed, self-paced approach, allowing players to enjoy their own time however they please. They can go fishing by the lake, sketching in a notebook, or playing chess and bowls alongside their mischievous escapades.
Blending cozy puzzling with playful chaos, The Bench offers a wholesome and clever adventure reminiscent of beloved titles such as Untitled Goose Game, Donut County, and TOEM. Its combination of humor, charm, and inventive gameplay makes it a delightful experience for the players. If you enjoy lighthearted exploration, quirky characters, and a touch of unexpected intrigue, then this title is for you.
