The Pedestrian is a side scrolling puzzle platformer 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]
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.
