New Undercover: Dual Motives details

Undercover: Dual Motives is the upcoming prequel for Undercover: Operation Wintersun, which is, in fact, also a upcoming game, as its English release is due out Q1 2007. As hinted from the title, Dual Motives is an adventure game for Nintendo's handheld, the Nintendo DS, which has proven to be a successful console for adventure games.

In Dual Motives, players take on the role of the British scientist Dr. John Russell, who is on a wild chase for a German nuclear bomb in the middle of WW2. Russell will be investigating a British research facility with the help of a second playable character named Audrey, the secretary of the facility's director.

The game will take advantage of the DS' touchscreen, and will present players with innovative ways to solve puzzles. For instance, the microphone can be used to blow air into a blowgun, and the unique abilities of the console's touch screen have already been explored in other adventure games for the DS, like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney and Another Code.

Undercover: Dual Motives will be released worldwide by Anaconda, starting with the German-language version in March 2007.
