I had a blast with the game, and that's not even mentioning the *stunning* visuals and atmosphere.

Thanks to this gradual difficulty curve, The Pedestrian offers an experience that, while relatively compact, can easily stretch over five to ten hours, depending on the player's pace and problem-solving approach.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I appreciated the stylistic choice to let the surrounding environment—rainfall, traffic, ambient city noise—form the background soundtrack.
