Oct 4, 2022 -- Skybound Games and Ancient Machine Studios have announced the first ever demo for new interactive thriller, Vice NDRCVR, is publicly available as part of Steam Next Fest October 2022 - Steam's seven day celebration of upcoming games.
 

Coming soon to PC, Vice NDRCVR is set in the secretive and deadly world of Miami’s drug cartels from the 1980s. Players will assume the role of a deep-cover cop stationed in an alternative 1980s Miami, ravaged by brutal and oppressive crime cartels, which rule the city with an iron grip.
 

Utilizing an early inception of the world wide web that the crime lords have exploited for their own benefit, players will infiltrate the cartel’s computer system deep within the organization’s building and make life-or-death decisions that impact the course of the weaving narrative.

“VICE NDRCVR represents everything we love about 1980’s pop culture, from the neon aesthetic, synth soundtracks, and homages to classic crime cinema and TV,” says Cos Lazouras, co-founder of Ancient Machine Studios. “We’re doing it with a twist and a healthy dose of paranoia; it’s an alternative Miami in the ‘80s, where technology existed much earlier than reality. How would a narco-war under these conditions unfold?” Ancient Machine Studios Co-founder Miguel Periago added, “The VICE NDRVCR storyline is a complex thriller with twists that will surprise the player at every turn.”
