The Black Watchmen Season 1 is the starter game where you play a secret agent tasked with various investigations into the occult.
The Black Watchmen Season 2 continues your investigations into the occult, with an advanced tutorial and more immersive missions.
Mother Russia DLC revisits the early days of The Black Watchmen, with The Secret World ARG "Gate 33" back in 2012. This DLC is about the fate of agent Msika, and also ties in with The Black Watchmen Comic Book.
Alone in the Dark Web DLC pits you up against a memetic hazard that the Black Watchmen first encountered during Operation Silverspear. Untangle the mystery, and (hopefully) escape with your sanity intact!
Whitechapel DLC is the latest expansion in the Black Watchmen universe. An old foe, Mr. Whitechapel, has resurfaced and needs to be dealt with. His depravity is matched only by his intelligence, in a mind that has never been turned to the good of humanity.
If you want to read more about our universe and how this game universe came to life, you can also read our Almanac, an 84 page document about the creation of The Black Watchmen.
NITE Team 4 is the hacking unit of The Black Watchmen. They are responsible for all intelligence operations including hacking, recon, intrusion and support during raids and live events.

Warning:
This is not your typical game: The Black Watchmen is unlike any other game on Steam. You will have the opportunity to complete tasks unique to PARGs. You must be prepared: There is no virtual world, and you have no in-game avatar. You have an agent name, your wits, and the support of the community, that is all. The game exists in the real world, and many times during missions you will be interacting with real world entities (players, businesses, organizations, etc.).
You will not be able to complete this game alone. Only with the help of the community will you be able to rise through the ranks, and become a veteran agent of The Black Watchmen.
Pricing
You are buying Season 1, which gives you access to:- 25 in-game missions
- 65 puzzles to solve
- 5 hidden missions (unlocked by obtaining “puzzle pieces” or secret answers in-game)
- Community sandbox missions
Season 2 is an optional DLC and includes:
- 30 in-game missions featuring an expanded narrative
- 82 puzzles to solve
- 5 new hidden missions
The World of The Black Watchmen
The Black Watchmen are a paramilitary group dedicated to protecting the public from dangerous phenomena beyond human understanding: ritualistic murder, occult secret societies, and paranormal activity, to name but a few.
As a global organization, The Black Watchmen offer a wide range of skills and services for covert missions anywhere in the world, on behalf of any group, corporation or government that can afford them. Often called in as a last resort, The Black Watchmen pride themselves on their discretion, strength and efficiency.
To maintain objectivity in the field, you, as an agent, are never informed of the identity of the client. You are given only mission parameters and told how to distinguish friend from foe, but the lines are often blurred…
Gameplay Overview
A traditional video game has clear parameters - it is played on a screen, within a virtual world, and exists solely within that space. A PARG (Permanent Alternate Reality Game), like The Black Watchmen, uses the real world as its game world, blurring the lines between fiction and reality, turning everyday interactions into game mechanics.
Gameplay Features
- Gameplay: Different missions require different skill-sets.
- Crack ancient codes and investigate bizarre occurrences
- Join a squadron of soldiers raiding a rupture site
- Hack through the virtual defenses of your enemies
- Research an occult group and uncover hidden connections
- Crack ancient codes and investigate bizarre occurrences
- All Around You: The game is played using coded websites, wikis and real world references.
- Mission Hub: An interface that acts as a hub for information, mission briefings, puzzles, and more.
- Agent Map: See the locations of your fellow agents around the world, and keep an eye out for potential location-based missions.
