Falling Undercover: Nox Syndicate - [Episode 09] available now! 💜

Hey everyone! 🙏

The day that all of us have been anticipating has arrived! Episode 09 is upon us!

• Falling Undercover: Nox Syndicate - [Episode 09]

Note: The game has been updated to version 0.9.2 with some fixes.

Here is the link to it! Episode 09 has some of our most ambitious scenes to date and we are happy with how they turned out! We hope you enjoy! For those that are curious, here is a breakdown of its contents:

6 New CGs

5 New Animations

1 Extra Animation

1 New Sprite

Additional Art (3)

2 New BGs - All placeholders have now been replaced with handmade backgrounds

45k words

274 Additional SFX

Added Spanish translation for Episodes 02-06

Added Chinese translation for Episodes 04-05

As you can see, in addition to a brand new episode, we have also included a number of additional episode translations for our Chinese and Spanish readers! One thing to note is that the Spanish translations for Episodes 03 through 06 are not entirely complete, as they still require a pass by the proofreader. However, we decided to include them as they are mostly complete and we did not want our Spanish readers to have to wait until the next update to get to experience them. We expect they will be given a bit of extra polish before their final versions are included alongside a future episode.

Speaking of the future, we have recently begun arrangements to attempt translating FUNS into Japanese as well. The next update should include a translation of the first episode, which we will look at as a bit of an experiment. If the response is positive, we would be happy to continue and translate the entire game! Seeing as we don’t speak Japanese though, we will have to rely on you guys to tell us if it’s worth pursuing. We look forward to your feedback!

And for those of you English readers that are also behind have not checked out Episode 08 yet, not to worry! Here’s a free link to it! Now you have no excuse! 😌

• Falling Undercover: Nox Syndicate - [Episode 08]

As one small bit of additional business for today, we are making a slight adjustment to FUNS’ expected completion date. Considering the scale of our recent episodes, the release cadence and the possibility of expanding FUNS slightly, we thought it would be prudent to shift it from late 2026 to sometime in 2027. Also, to be completely transparent, we do not predict it will be early 2027. We know that likely isn’t a surprise to those of you who have been paying attention to our production schedule, but we figured we might as well formalize it so that there is no confusion.

Now, for reading this far into today’s post, you deserve a reward! Here’s Luna looking cute:

But she isn’t just looking cute for no reason! This is a special piece of art that Operae drew to celebrate Falling Undercover: Nox Syndicate’s first anniversary! It’s hard to believe it’s been a year already. Time truly flies when you are creating a story about an AEGIS agent going undercover and then slowly having his wife stolen away… All kidding aside, we want to give a special thanks to everyone who has supported us this year. Whether you have been here since the first teaser or have joined up recently, thank you! We will do our best to bring our story to a satisfying conclusion! 😌

That’s about it for us today. We are already hard at work on Episode 10 and will provide our first progress update in about a week, as usual!

Until then, please take care!
