Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 25 → 0.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About

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.

Un juego de ritmo relajante y original, siguiendo las aventuras de un yayo y su ejército de palomas amaestradas.
Very buggy.
Pros: + Beautiful aesthetics + Adorable, highly customizable pigeons + Fun puzzles that never become too cryptic + Light but intriguing narrative + Side activities (newspaper minigames, photographs...) Cons: - Many bugs and glitches - Lacking QoL features (pigeon name toggles, bench directions... ) - Controls often conflict with each other - Flashback scenes can be a bit confusing and hard to follow The Bench is a game I genuinely enjoyed. Its strongest points are the lovely aesthetics and the light yet intriguing narrative. The pigeons are absolutely delightful, and being able to customize them with cosmetics makes each of them feel unique. The puzzles are fun and grow in complexity without ever becoming cryptic. The side activities (like the light puzzles in the newspaper) are also really charming. Unfortunately, the game suffers from a noticeable lack of polish and several bugs. Some QoL improvements would help a lot: for instance, showing the benches’ facing direction on the map to make navigation easier. Towards the end of the game, the screen gets so cluttered with pigeon name tags that I sometimes couldn’t even see a bench, which actually blocked my progress. A toggle for name visibility would be extremely useful. The controls also conflict quite often: more than once I picked up a pigeon while I was trying to throw another one, and one time I even threw a pigeon at an NPC instead of talking to them, sending it past a railing and forcing me to reset the map. Other issues include: - “!” subquest icons reappearing when reloading the game even after the quests are completed. - Flashback scenes being very confusing, with text boxes fixed on models that move between each “slide”, making the story hard to follow. - In the last level, some benches started already unlocked, which misled me into thinking I had to interact with those areas sooner than intended, long before obtaining the B-Link. All in all, the game is a very charming and enjoyable, but it's riddled with small bugs and glitches that undermine the overall experience and may cause some players to lose focus or motivation. It also features Twitch integrations that look fantastic on paper (though I couldn’t try them), and it has huge meme/community potential. If you don't mind minor glitches and bugs, you will love this game. I hope the devs will polish it, though.

Interesting at first, but soon you realize how bad the game really is. Performing acts in the game is just not intuitive. Once you get a feel for it, it's still awkward. And 0MG don't get me started on the pigeon sounds and animations, as well as a very limited sound track that really grate on your nerves after a while. Plenty of bugs throughout this game, even 8 months after launch. Characters and objects can get stuck, forcing you to exit to menu to reset things. Then when you do continue your game, other items you wanted to remain changed (such as hedges trimmed/cut) respawn again. You could perform this to knock the same character down the steps over and over again for all eternity. Not to mention the connect-the-dots games that have rules but then somehow fail to adhere to those rules if you don't proceed the way the developers expected. Also, some stamps are missed permanently, meaning you have to start over if you're trying to get Steam achievements. But that's not the worst aspect of this game... The puzzles are just guessing games to find out what the game wants in order to proceed. Just like rolling dice or throwing darts in the dark, hoping to hit something. They are only casually strung together for their logic, and many seem out of place for the overarching theme. They're not interesting or challenging puzzles, just boring ones without much thought that went into their design. They are relatively easy, but more importantly they're just tedious. Most of the puzzles hold your hand when you hover over things with your cursor to perform actions to continue your progression. What makes me cringe the most about the puzzles is that they don't really have much purpose at all. They're just strung together to make content. And the cutscenes you encounter by clicking on red post boxes (yes, it's a British developer) are lame... really, really lame. No animation, actual series of low quality art along with a poorly written dialog that will make you groan. Not even cute or cozy. It starts with a pair of spies talking to each other. Yeah, the connection will be made later, but it's just so out of place. Throughout the game you'll also encounter spies dressed all in black and some sort of conspiracy wannabe narrative that doesn't even try to be mildly interesting. I'm all for cozy games and indie developers, but The Bench doesn't deliver much at all beyond tedious gameplay. I didn't stop playing because I got bored (although I got bored quickly), but rather I stopped playing because it was just an annoying, tedious romp. Low quality graphics for a game that tries too hard to be cute, cozy, and edgy at the same time, while failing at becoming any of those things.
Pensant jouer à un petit jeu tranquille avec des pigeons, j'ai été vite surpris du tunnel monstre que m'a mis le jeu, j'ai adoré les deux premiers niveaux, les énigmes sont relativement simples pour la plupart et d'autres demande plus de réflexions ce qui rend l'aventure agréable avec quelques difficultés qui donne un petit challenge. L'envie d'explorer tous les bancs possibles de la map est vraiment très forte avec une vraie sensation d'accomplissement quand on arrive à trouver le chemin. Malheureusement mon épopée bancesque s'est terminé un peu prématurément à cause d'un bug, lors du troisième niveau une porte nécessite un certain nombre de pigeons, savant que j'en avais loupé au niveau 2, je suis retourné les chercher et à mon retour au niveau 3 l'interaction avec la porte a disparu. J'ai essayé beaucoup de solutions sans succès d'autant plus que 2 œufs d'or respawnais en boucle à chaque fois que je redémarrais le jeu. Je suis un peu attristé de ne pas pouvoir continuer ce jeu qui est vraiment super et j'espère qu'une prochaine MAJ résoudra mon problème pour que je puisse de nouveau continuer le jeu en stream.

Sans trop en dire, je m'attendais à une aventure pépère d'un papi avec ses copains les pigeons.... Et bien j'ai été surprise de beaucoup de choses !! Le jeu reste vraiment adorable dans sa direction artistique, les pigeons sont vraiment TROP MIGNONS (et pourtant IRL j'aime vraiment pas ça, les pigeons), et d'ailleurs l'intégration Twitch est un vrai + pour le stream ! Je ne vais pas trop en rajouter parce que c'est une aventure à vivre et je ne veux rien vous spoil; franchement foncez, j'ai adoré mon expérience !!!

들고 가는 스토리에 비해 스토리 비중이 좀 아쉬운 게임.... 이런 스토리를 가져 갈거였으면 퍼즐을 좀 더 줄이고 스토리에 더 치중 했으면 좋지 않았을까 생각하는데 퍼즐 비중이 꽤 많아서 약간 아쉽다고 생각했는데 CPU 먹는양 보고 생각이 바뀜. 굉장이 단조롭고 간단해 보이는 그래픽에 게임인데 꽤나 많이 잡아 먹고 가는데 원래 게임들 중에 CPU를 주로 먹는 게임들과도 동등할 정도로 꽤나 많이 잡아먹어서 실망했습니다. 가격값을 하나 라고 말하면 스토리나 게임 퍼즐들 각종 서브 미션 등등 컨텐츠는 다양하고 많아서 돈값은 합니다. 근데 저와 같은 생각을 할 사람은 조금은 있지 않을까 합니다. (그리고 한글번역이 괜찮긴 한데 약간 이상한 부분이 있어요. "~~을" 이라고 번역 되야할게 "~~올" 이라 번역 되어있어요 그리 크진 않지만 약간 거슬리게 번역 되어있어요)
Если пенсия, то только такая! ( В процессе создания игры не один голубь не пострадал)
Quelle belle surprise ! Je sais désormais que la vie d'un vieux monsieur assis sur un banc entouré de pigeons n'est pas aussi tranquille qu'on pourrait le croire ! Je m'attendais à un jeu très calme mais il se révèle finalement assez chaotique, et j'ai été prise de quelques fous rires. La DA est adorable, les énigmes et puzzle sont bien faits sans pour autant être trop difficile (possible que cela se corse par la suite, je n'ai pas encore terminé le jeu). Il y a une trame narrative que j'ai envie de continuer à explorer. Il y a énormément de choses à faire, pas de quoi s'ennuyer, je n'ai pas vu le temps passer. Gros point bonus pour l'intégration Twitch facile à mettre en place qui permet d'inclure nos viewereuses dans l'aventure. N'hésitez pas, j'ai passé un excellent moment et j'ai hâte de continuer l'aventure ! Paupoune - [url=https://indiestogetherstream.carrd.co/]Indies Together[/url]
Une aventure haute en couleur avec nos petits amis à plumes. La DA est colorée et très mim's. J'ai beaucoup aimé les défi présentés par le jeu mais aussi l'exploration mis en avant par celui-ci. Je ne l'ai remarqué que trop tard mais l'intégration Twitch est vraiment sympathique !
