The Pedestrian is a 2.5D puzzle platformer that takes "puzzle platforming" literally. You play as The Pedestrian (aka the male bathroom symbol) who works in a restroom sign standing beside his Beloved (the female symbol). When she disappears, you must escape your day job and embark on a perilous journey where you progress by piecing the "sign world" back together in search of the one you love.

This game just clicked with me and I was able to intuit most of the mechanics and solutions that the game is trying to convey to you. I don't have this reaction with a lot of puzzle focused games. I agree with the criticism that the middle-to-late-game is a bit repetitive, but I generally think that of many games these days. I also found the final puzzle a very neat twist on all the prior mechanics you have learned.

Also, the music is fantastic and captures a great mood.

A competent puzzle-platformer that quickly runs out of ideas. I got it via Game Pass so it was OK for the price.

Completed on Xbox Series S. I just followed the normal route, didn't bother with trying to access secret areas.

Interesante juego de puzzles. Una pena que aproveche solo al final el uso del entorno, pero asienta una buena base para un segundo juego más grande y más puzzles

Ok i'm updating this now that i finished the game. Puzzles are fun, it's very stylish, graphics are good, the music is great... it's a really good game, i would give it a 4.5 out of 5 but since i can only give whole numbers i'm giving it a 5.

I knew I was going to like the aesthetics just from screenshots but what I didn't know was how lovely is the music.

However I'm having some issues. Does anyone experience some panels becoming invisible?

So far the puzzles aren't so mind-boggling they're frustrating, but they're just complex to make you think for a minute or two. Loving this so far, especially with that great soundtrack.
