Presented as a tragicomic adventure set in a smartphone, Backfirewall_ puts you in the “skin” of the System Update Assistant. Determined not to perform the last required update and save the previous operating system from erasure, you will have to solve many puzzles to achieve your goal.
As you explore the phone, you’ll be able to meet and chat with the various apps to track down bugs and make sure OS9 lives on rather than being unnecessarily replaced.
Filled with humor and offering an interesting perspective on these bits of plastic that no longer leave our lives, Backfirewall_ will be released on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on January 30.
Who knows…maybe during your wanderings, you’ll learn some great things about smartphone users, who knows?
