Backfirewall_ doesn’t outstay its welcome. An engaging story, puzzles and environments capture a sense of wonder that feels meaningful.
XBA says: You might think twice before updating your phone OS.
“2023 is off to a wonderful start with a couple of months full of excellent indie games already under its belt so here are February's best.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
“Backfirewall_ does an excellent job of personifying something that the average person takes for granted: their smartphone. Exploring its artistic CPU and cluttered Bin is a lot of fun and it offers a surprisingly heartfelt story. If you can look past the glitches and don't mind referencing a guide here and there, this is one unique first-person puzzler that's worth your time.” - Mary Billington from Video Chums.
