Undercover is a Ren'Py visual novel by Slow Burn Games, presented with 3DCG and animated scenes. You play Jen, a woman whose father was a police detective and who dreams of following his path. After joining the Police Academy, she studies, trains, and works to gain the experience needed to become a detective. Her journey involves convincing doubters and misogynists while keeping love points above zero. It explores corruption, cheating, and humiliation.
The current build is v12.6, released on March 19, 2025, and development is finished. It is available for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, and it is uncensored. The latest update fixed an error that allowed choices after Jen took drugs in chapter 9 and later, including drug option access.
