Undercover

Undercover is an interactive video story set in Hong Kong shortly before its return to China. You play an undercover agent caught between loyalties and choices in a police-and-criminal underworld shaped by shifting alliances, corruption and violence. The story follows the era of classic Hong Kong crime films and is presented with original Cantonese dialogue.

A city in turmoil

The story depicts a dark period in Hong Kong, where police and criminals collude and the lines between them blur. It portrays the hardships of police work and the brutality of society, including drug dealing, violent conflict, official misconduct and struggles against informants within the police. The narrative does not avoid the social forces that protect those involved.

Choices and relationships

You make decisions as an undercover agent, with choices concerning life, death and loyalty shaping the route to the ending. The game has one ending, which responds to the choices and convictions you bring to the story; the path to it is up to you.

You form emotional bonds with three women, while the story also explores brotherhood between men: solidarity, conflicts of allegiance and friendships tested by life and death. Family and romantic ties are part of these relationships.

Cinematic action

The interactive story features hand-to-hand action, explosions, street gunfights and chases. Its cast and production team are based in Hong Kong, with filming locations and script work handled by the Hong Kong team.
