Backfirewall is a tongue-in-cheek tragicomedy about a self-aware operating system, and it's the first game from women-led developer Naraven Games and publisher All in! Games. Oh, and by th🐷e way, you can play it right now, as announced at the Futuღre Games Show at Gamescom Powered by Mana
Backfirewall is set inside of a smartphone, with you playing the update assistant desperately trying to figure out how to stop the latest update from deleting the previous operating system. The new operating system, OS10, may be better optimized, but you're on OS9's side, and you need to save it from g☂etting obliterated by technological advances. Imagine you are a phone program, right, how terrible w꧂ould it be to face erasure?
