In the puzzle platform game “The Pedestrian” players have to steer a matchstick figure though a world of traffic signs while solving numerous puzzles along the way. And it’s certainly not easy.

The player has to jump between the sheet metal panels, climb and jump over obstacles, and figure out tricky mechanisms. Sometimes the stick figure ends up on the display of an electronic measuring device or a mobile game console and has to master a task there.
