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]
