Altruism is a funny concept. Most of us can agree that giving the local park pigeons a generous gift of a greening, shelf-stable baked goods product is a good thing, but what about the knowledge that keeps swirling around in the back of our minds and tells us: keep it up long enough and you're sure to have a loyal army of heavenly scavengers ready to carry out your every destructive act. whim with a simple flick of the wrist? Feed them really good bread, they might even let you throw them at things. From super seeded to superior god. Here's the trailer for Bench.

The charming interactive adventure, it says, gleefully demonstrates several possible cases of bird-related grievous bodily harm, including but not limited to: knocking someone out by throwing a pigeon into a precarious stack of boxes, knocking someone out by cutting out a medium bird and simply throwing a stale piece of bread right at their forehead, throwing a pigeon right into a fat one an iron castle, blowing up a balloon seller's cart, throwing a pigeon into a helium tank, and at some point just drowning someone. There are also some nice puzzles. From the Steam page:
In The Bench, you will find yourself in the role of a wise and experienced older man enjoying his day in a vibrant, interactive world. But don't relax, your mission is to find hidden objects scattered around you as you escape the clutches of the nursing home and live in the real world, all with the help of your trusted pigeon army.
Explore beautifully designed, colorful maps, each with their own characteristics, and immerse yourself in fun mini-games such as solving newspaper puzzles, playing chess, bowling or fishing! There are things to do to keep your mind clear and keep you awake.
