The Pedestrian is a side scrolling puzzle-platform game developed and published by American[1] studio Skookum Arts LLC.[2] The game was originally released in January 2020 for Linux, MacOS and Microsoft Windows. In August 2020, a port for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 was announced for January 2021, during a State of Play presentation.[3] The game is also planned to release for the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S at a later date.[4]

Gameplay[]

The game is played on 2D signs that can be externally altered to change the play space. This is the main mechanic in puzzle-solving. As the game progresses, more mechanics are added both in and around the signs.[citation needed]

Development[]

Development took longer than expected. After being unready to release the game even after delaying the release date, the developers changed the listed release date to "When it's finished."

Reception[]

Metacritic rated this game 81/100, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.
