Reviews

“Every little objective you complete makes you feel clever, like you’re a real detective. Think Paper’s Please or Need to Know—it’s everything I bloody love in a game.”
The Gamer

“The demo I played had my heart beating out of my chest as I tried to make the best decisions I could in the limited time I had allotted each day. Think Papers, Please but somehow more stressful. I hate how much I loved it.”
Gamespot

“Vice Undercover is a bit Papers Please in its presentation, but far more involved in its admin.”
Rock Paper Shotgun

About This Game

"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.

EXPLORE AN ICONIC 1980s COMPUTER SYSTEM

Inspired by true events, the VICE Undercover saga spans across 22 Chapters and over 20 hours of gameplay. Every character and organisation you come across have their own and independent backstory to discover.

BOOT UP AMIGO OS

The gameplay primarily takes place in a classic operating system reminiscent of Windows 3.1. Players can explore an 80’s-era operating system with over 15 fully working apps, including databases, police apps, illegal cartel apps, and a music player resembling the classic Winamp.

GATHER INTELLIGENCE

Explore and install new apps that take you deeper into the cartel network. Access confidential information, order hits, monitor security cameras, discover hidden crime networks, and make tough decisions that will put your morals to the test.

RETRO-SYNTHWAVE SOUNDTRACK

Experience a retro-synthwave soundtrack using the Calypso Player, inspired by Winamp Classic. Browse a library of fully licensed retro-synthwave tunes from iconic artists of the genre and including original tracks produced by famed producer LAU.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

The use of AI in Vice Undercover was strictly limited to enhancing a limited number of database images, such as some faces, objects, and locations. All images began with original photographs taken by the team, which were then used to create datasets for generating initial concepts. These AI-generated images were not used as-is—instead, they served as a starting point for detailed, creative transformation. Every final image was extensively painted, composited, and refined using original photographs and artistic elements, ensuring that all visuals align with the game's unique style and authenticity. AI was simply one tool in a much larger creative process driven by human artistry.
