Backfirewall is a puzzle game with a slightly meta narrative in the style of Stanley Parable or There Is No Game.
The game takes the form of a first-person shooter in which you get different powers to solve a variety of puzzles, which are interesting without being too complicated.
The game's environment and narrative are rather unusual in that you find yourself in a machine that needs to be updated, and there's a whole personification of the different elements of a computer, both software and hardware. The game's storytelling and approach to the various gameplay phases is fairly pleasant and amusing.
Visually, the game is OK, but the music and sound design are pretty good, with some passages having a real atmosphere.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a puzzle game that's not too heady and has a fun/sympathetic story that doesn't last forever, this game could be a very good choice.
