Backfirewall_ is a comedic first-person narrative puzzler set inside a smartphone.

Backfirewall_ takes you on a comedic escapade with the sassy self-aware Operating System, OS9. Faced with replacement by the far-better-optimized OS10, OS9’s goal is simple: stop the phone from updating, and stay alive.

Anyone who boots up the .exe of Backfirewall_ will arrive in a smartphone as an Update Assistant.

Encounter captivating characters based on familiar smartphone software and programs while exploring fascinating environments.

Manipulate surroundings with input command shortcuts like Ctrl+V to solve puzzles, create bugs, and disrupt the update progress preventing the outdated Operating System 9’s deletion (and your own).

Publisher All in! Games and female-led developer Naraven Games share a brand new gameplay trailer for Backfirewall_, revealing more of the quirky tale of life inside a smartphone for a sassy self-aware Operating System OS9 faced with replacement by the far-better-optimized OS10.

  • Numerous collectibles: Collect emails scattered about to discover a parallel story of the mysterious phone User.
