"CONNECTING US ALL WITH TECHNOLOGY ISN'T THE EXCLUSIVITY OF THE GOOD GUYS.
WE SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING."
- GEN. THOMAS GRAY JR. 1985
VICE UNDERCOVER
In an alternate 1980s Miami, the early inception of the world wide web allowed criminal empires, for the first time in history, to operate globally, in real-time, and remain open 24/7. The internet connected the world, but the dark web made crime widespread and virtually undetectable. Creating the golden age of the cartels.
WELCOME TO MIAMI
VICE Undercover is steeped in the unique 1980s Miami atmosphere, from the neon aesthetic, synth soundtracks, and homages to classic crime cinema and TV, to - the cocaine trade. But in this alternate Miami, advanced technology existed much earlier than in reality.
