Undercover: Operation Wintersun (German: Undercover: Operation Wintersonne) is an adventure game developed by Sproing Interactive Media and published by Lighthouse Interactive. It was released in North America on September 4, 2007.

The player is placed in control of Dr. John Russell, a British nuclear physicist, who is charged with finding German atomic weaponry undercover by MI-6. The game features a number of puzzles which the player must solve to progress, and the professor is required to use items that he has picked up throughout his exploration. Undercover: Operation Wintersun received mixed reviews from critics; it received a 57% and a 62.80% from Metacritic and GameRankings respectively. Much of the criticism focused on the game's difficulty. A spin-off, Undercover: Dual Motives, was published by ANACONDA on the Nintendo DS in Germany in 2007.[1][2]
