Noice, voices are awesome, effects on point, and I think that they made a really interesting implementation with the audio design and gameplay mechanics/world building as the audio remians pretty dynamic during all the playthrough.

Backfirewall_ is a comedic first-person puzzle/adventure game with a clever premise (you're inside a smartphone and trying to help the current version of the OS prevent himself from being overwritten by an OS update) and amusing writing and voice acting.

I enjoyed the humor and setting, as well as the minimalistic graphics compared to the more complex 3D games.

Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

The gameplay is really funny and the puzzle are really intuitive, it doesnt stress the head on thinking too much about them yet they remain still funny to do and have balance on the difficulty.
