VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Undercover [v12.6 Final] [Slow Burn Games]

Another banger from my favorite developer. Slow Burn Games has set a very high bar for him/her self with past efforts, and as I fully expected, they have hit another home run with Undercover. There are certain aspects that I have come to know that I will find in these games. Fantastic character development being merely one. Our protagonist and her supporting cast make choices which are entirely believable. It is easy to see ones self deciding in concert with the characters had one found ones self in similar situations. The developer is able to build genuine depth without droning on page after page and boring the reader/gamer. Slow Burn has a rare insight into the human condition, and easily conveys the internal struggles which we all bear the weight in our own lives. The artwork remains some of the best in the business, in my opinion. The models have real world bodies. They arent 12 year old boys fantasies. This allows a connection to the reader which is unatainable with the ridiculous models in other games, which to me seem to be a parody unto themselves. Engaging the reader in the daily lives of the characters is maybe the greatest achievement that Slow Burn attains with every product they share with us. It is a rare attribute in the mind numbing world of adult visual novels. With so many other VNs seemingly copy/paste versions of each other, Slow Bun Games set themselves apart, nearly without peer. If anyone who might read this is considering supporting any developer, allow me to strongly recommend that Slow Burn Games be considered for your patronage. Undercover gets 5 stars only because i cant give it 8.

Great pacing, models and regular updates. Player has plenty of choices and there is lots of value in replaying scenes. Lots of potential for the story going forwards as well. Dev is doing a great job.

The idea has potential, but the despicable characters and weird faces and bodies just made it hard to get invested in the story (not helped by the POV changing every few frames between husband and wife). None of the police stuff is believable and the story takes way too long to get to the undercover bit. Dialogue remains awkward and unrealistic throughout.

It's a near miss, but a clear miss. In terms of enjoyment I'd probably rank it two stars, but the dev is clearly trying, so I gave it three.

Great game. Loved how the main character's corruption progressed, being pushed by her job and blackmail and humiliated. A lot of good content and the writing is well done. Checks all the boxes for me. Looking forward to more.

Very nice. Police girls going undercover is hot, other undercover games are about secret agents, this one is better in my opinion.

-Music is very good, but sometimes repetetive
-Graphics are good, 4/5, of course there are games with better graphics, but I wouldn't say it's outdated, it's normal daz3d-graphics, I didn't expect much more, there could be more effects with shadows and lightning maybe, etc., but it doesn't matter so much in my opinion.

Story:
-Pro:

-Cons:

Scenes:
-scenes are all good, but end sometimes fast, there are good animations, so it's ok, but often only one end-image, there could be softer endings, and more orgasm-images.
-there are some soft-body and cloth-animations, not much, but these are hard to do, this is very nice.

The FMC needs to be a slut to advance fast in her police career and at the same time ensure that her marriage doesn't fall by satisfying her husband's kinks, and helping him with his career. Great game with a great plot. A multiple-choice AVN that the choices truly matter to balance career and marriage. Charming art in a different environment that combines the modern with the old.

Not worth it
The scenes look pre historic (sorry dev but times have changed)
Animations aren't 8 images played in a sequence.
I really didn't see the point of the point system and I don't see how this game could improve either.

v7.1

The main character is smoking hot and pretty. The writing is not that great but the main character's model makes up for it. Pretty much checks all the boxes I look for in a game where I play as a slutty female protagonist.

Loved the motivation and slow corruption. Made it believable which is a big plus for me. Appreciated the choices given to indulge in behavior. The graphics might not be on the level as some of my favorite games, but they didn't detract from my experience in enjoying the story.

V6.1
Rated 4.3, rounded up to 5.
Not perfect but we have to encourage great H Games devs.

It's really good, just like his previous game.
Great scenes.
Nice models.
Interesting settings.
Way less build-up though.

Terrible! The graphics are dated. The characters are all similar. The choices you make in the game has no impact on the game at all, which means this isn't a game at all it's a story. The majority of the female cops get abused with no resistance, except for the proud ones. I had the MC reject everyone but that bald pig said she was messing around behind her husband's back which she really wasn't. I've replayed it several times with different choices and nothing changed the outcome of anything. It's a boring story with meaningless choices.

Solid game so far

Pros:

1. Nice models albeit dated
2. Story has really good flow and pace of story and character development which does not feel boring or rushed.
3. Different take on the average college scene game thats been used so often.
4. Choices based that actually works.

Cons:

1. Dated models, graphics and animations, this needs work and is based on an older look we knew but newer better is out there and becoming the standard IMO.
2. Point system needs some work, I have hit - on affection and it still has made no difference, which means I basically decide to do all the naughty things because thats more content and kinks, which is really what the player usually goes for. I suggest simply using a loyal and corrupted route with different and unique scenes to give more replay value.

Overall nice game, worth playing and even supporting, change a few things here and there and you could have a very good game indeed!

Great flowing story and pacing. Cool situations that are well thought out. Animations and renders aren't the best but that doesn't bother me at all.

If i have one thing to nitpick is that the time advancement of 3 months after graduation should be more notable.

This is slow burn done right , keep up the good work.

- Based on version [v4.1] -

PROS:
- Probably the best paced game I've tried.
- Simple but well told story.
- Watching the FMC slowly become corrupted is intriguing and satisfying.

CONS:
- The animations which, while appreciated, are below in terms of quality than several similar titles.
- Needs work on the ellipses in the scenes.

Very interesting game, the story is simple but it's so well told that it leaves you wanting to know more.
And that's great, as it doesn't feel at all like an excuse to see the protagonist being corrupted by her superiors. It's all well crafted, so that both the story and the corruption flow together.

On the other hand, the animations need some work, because in 2024, there are titles that shine in this section, but here it does not happen. Definitely, an improvement in this aspect, would improve the game even more! As well as the ellipses, since the time jumps feel immediate, as if the characters at times were teleported to another scene.

As for the sex scenes, for my taste, they are too short. I would like some more length in this aspect.
Even so, it managed to captivate me from beginning to end due to its story and its rhythm, which I consider a great success. Despite the fact that it goes slowly (although not so much), it doesn't leave the player with a taste of little. If you played it, you will understand me.

Note: 4/5 (With better animations, it would be a 5/5 without hesitation).

UPDATE - For the completed version 12.4 Well after following this it turned up completed rather quickly, I had played every update and was rather shocked at the completed tag, didn't think it was anywhere near close to being done. I had given this a 4 star for potential, nice renders, decent story and interesting stats dynamic, now it is a 3 star for really rushed, crappy ending, no resolution of many characters and one of the worst ending sequences ever.

Its too bad as it had good potential, but the rushed ending and attempt at closure was just poor, and completely unsatisfying. My below review still is good for most of the content, just be advised the ending is rushed, and poorly done.

PAST REVIEW - Review for 4.0. Surprisingly pretty good. Not a tonne of content, for 4.0 I went through this in about 30 minutes trying a few different answers.

Graphics - good, decent graphics and the FMC is really cute, hot. The Male NPCs are diverse and numerous.
Game play - simple VN with some choices. A mechanic for tracking your career points, and a point system for your relationship with her husband.
Bugs - none found
Language - good, english, not stupid, not engrish

I love FMC games when they are done good, and this has potential thus the 4 stars. It is still quite short, and some of the graphics need work, but I enjoyed it, and the mechanic for the husband points was refreshing and new.

Look forward to this, the FMC has great thought processes and it is an interesting take on the FMC games. Hoping we don't have to go down the humiliation route. Staying on the cheating/hiding stuff is hot and spicy.

Oh my!! Another instant favorite, absolutely love this game! Very good art, very hot scenes and corruption, temptation, blackmail, fast-paced to get to the action.. The choices are predictable (obviously, given what we're playing, we're gonna pick the options where she is bad every single time) but there's an extra level of spice with that relationship counter. Seeing it getting closer and closer to 0 gets scary as you wonder if you're about to hit a game over.. making it thrilling and nerve-racking to pick the 'bad' choice for her. Delicious. (Just please never let it actually end the game, all the bad choices are so tempting... ) Love it and will be watching it closely

A fantastic self-corruption game. The female MC loves her husband but then enters a mix of corruption choices to go further in her dream job and also her own hidden desires. The nice touch is that if the love points with her husband go to 0, it is game over, giving an emphasis on the fact her husband is not just for background story but a reality which enhances the feeling of corruption.

Another Corruption game from Slow Burn Games. Contrary to the dev nickname their games aren't slow at all so don't fret.
This time we take control of a female officer going undercover. She will be surrounded by lechereous men in the force and in the streets.
Just good fap content situations.

Typical… fat and ugly losers forcing the hot girl to be a hoe or be stuck at her desk forever — regardless of her skills and talent. Yawn.

Give the MC and we the player’s incentives to invest in depravity and deceit. Inspire us with stellar writing and clever characterization to be naughty. No job is so important that any self respecting and loving wife would pimp herself out for it. We need personal motivations, attraction, passion and amazing sex with guys and dolls that look like Greek Gods. Use some imagination and finesse, Dev, don’t just do what’s easy or “what works”! Think and write outside the proverbial box!

I rarely rate, but for the works I am truly passionate about. I am not stingy with a high score. In my eyes, Undercover is a masterpiece. It takes up very little computer space, but updates quickly and has rich content. The game tells the story of a female police officer’s depravity and derailment. Road, but the plot is reasonable and makes people horny. It is really a qualified porn game. I look forward to future updates from the author and thank the author for his efforts.
