Fixer Undercover Launches on Steam and Steam VR
Fixer Undercover is now available on Steam and Steam VR, placing players in the role of Agent 404 — callsign: Fixer — a spy operating undercover as a maintenance worker inside Redemption Prison.
The central conceit is disarmingly literal: every obstacle is a physical problem with a physical solution. The game explicitly rules out conventional gunplay, instead handing the player a power drill, an adjustable wrench, a hammer, and an angle grinder as the primary instruments of infiltration.
What the source describes
- Setting: Redemption Prison, where the player works to dismantle Viktor Kozlov's "Born Again" program from within
- No firearms — locked doors yield to unscrewed hinges; dead power is bridged with wires; steel grates meet the angle grinder
- Companion: Winston, a drone described as talkative, prone to panic, and given to addressing the player as "Boss"
- Platform availability: Steam and Steam VR
The dual release on flatscreen and VR suggests the hands-on tool mechanics were designed with physical interaction in mind — though how the two modes differ in practice is not addressed in the source material.
For players wearied of weapon loadouts, Fixer Undercover frames the humble toolbox as the sharpest thing in the room.
