Welcome to the Underworld Netscape, a digital haven void of government oversight. The year is 2157, in Beijing. Our hosts Val and Decker work to uncover the story behind the downfall of Avela Labs over 20 years ago. Through the actions of the renowned scientist Chengyun Tao and her ragtag group of friends, a technological crisis that threatens the core of society is narrowly avoided. A story of friends, dumplings, and a Chinchilla.

TO OUR FRIENDLY UNDERWORLD is a podcast created by Erica Yamamoto and Lucas Dul. It was edited and produced by Anastasia Dalia Sîrbu and Justina Marji, with Juno Overton as the voice of Chengyun.

Friends and acquaintances wrote in and voted, and a delightfully heartfelt sci-fi was born.

The event, expected to last 3 days, instead lasted 3 weeks due to unanticipated community engagement. As the story grew more complex, and eventually to a close, original artwork poured in from a small group of invested members. Dubbed IMPLANT, the final narrative was begging to be told in greater depth.

So, through close collaboration and a shared love of the project, the core group of artists united to form TOFU’s dev team, with the goal of bringing the story of IMPLANT to life.

To Our Friendly Underworld serves as a testament to the dedication of creative thinkers, honoring the drive to make the intangible real. It is the unique telling of a tale grounded on the notions of friendship and camaraderie.
