by Rainier on Aug. 25, 2022 @ 12:39 p.m. PDT

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).


Until September 4th, 2022 PC gamers can try the free game demo available on Steam.

The latest gameplay trailer gives more insight to Backfirewall_ and the amazing journey where you solve puzzles, hunt down bugs, and use cheat-codes in an attempt to disrupt the update.

Key Features:

  • Clever puzzles: Review terminal errors in RAM, party in the Speakers’ exclusive nightclub, navigate through the Wi-Fi bureaucracy, and explore other areas of a smartphone.
  • Cheat-codes to manipulate the environment: Hunt down or create bugs, trim binary trees, master music-controlled platforms, collect errors, and delete data using special cheat-codes.
  • A variety of app-characters: Gossip with quirky pieces of software—the sassy Photos, the insecure Social Media F, or the neglected Health, among others—and uncover their distinct side stories.
  • Numerous collectibles: Collect emails scattered about to discover a parallel story of the mysterious phone User.
  • Unproductive and useless humor: Enjoy meta satirical humor and breaking the fourth

Backfirewall_ is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC (Steam) in 2022.
