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.

A major milestone has been reached! Together, you’ve collectively spent 15 years playing The Black Watchmen! That’s 15 years of research into the darkest corners of humanity, 15 years of deciphering ancient occult texts, researching fake websites, tracking down NPCs on social media and LinkedIn, and 15 years of solving some of the most complex puzzles on the internet.
To mark this occasion, agents, we want to collect your fondest memories since you joined the agency. To show our gratitude, we will give away a mystery crate. Handcrafted with the help of Agent Blacklake, this mysterious mystery crate is filled with mystic mysteries for your mystification, that will deeply impact the lore of The Black Watchmen and set the stage for Season 3.
Please send your stories using the following online forms. Every story we receive will be entered in our unique giveaway! We'll be taking submissions until March 31.
FULL RELEASE!
Dreamers, it’s finally here! Enter the dream world of Ahnayro, where shadowy figures, terror, and the only possibility of salvation all lurk. Strange presences weave in and out of your mind as you journey into the darkest shadows of your dreams. Confront inner demons and lurking evils as you seek the truth, a truth found in between two worlds: the waking and the dreaming.
We’ve worked hard for over a year now on adding the complete depth and complexity that the dream world Ahnayro deserves. The dream fragment riddles act as rabbit holes, inviting you deeper into the mysteries of the dream world, while the narrative, soundtrack, and images act as breadcrumbs, showing you that you’re on the right path as you progress along your investigation.
We have made changes to Table 1 and Table 2 to deepen the immersion and to further connect the complexity of the puzzles with the overarching narrative. Join the dreamer as she navigates her dreams and tries to save herself from her own inner turmoil and illness.
As before, don’t forget to visit us on the forums to meet your fellow oneironauts and to discuss what you see beyond the veil of reality.

Table 2 Released!
TABLE 2 HAS BEEN RELEASED!
Enter the depths of a new dream, and explore the dark world of Voodoo. Go deeper into the life of the dreamer as you uncover details of her waking life as well as her unconscious through transmedia storytelling accessible with the new Artifact gateway. Delve into the rituals, dolls, yellow death and theinvisible gods of Voodoo
We have worked for months on game elements which add significant depth to the experience of Ahnayro. We strongly believe these additions will increase the level of immersion in the game and make the puzzles more complex and rewarding. Our table 2 update gives you a preview of all we have been working on.
The Artifact is the game’s progression map. It serves as a navigation tool into the dream world and the waking realm, and shows you the connections between both in the protagonist’s story. The waking life of the dreamer unfolds through narrative transmedia (blogs, Tumblr, images, etc) and ARG puzzles. You will also encounter dream gates in the Artifact, which serve as both tests and sources of information for the walking realm. Passing through these gates will yield Steam achievements!
We have unlocked a limited number of the transmedia elements to test the effectiveness of the storytelling methods. We will adjust the techniques used according to your feedback and open the rest of the map upon release of the full game.
A second guardian spirit is introduced to you in Table 2, along with the theme of Voodoo. For this table, we have changed our approach to fragment riddles to create a clear sense of progression within each puzzle. These new fragments give you a starting point with the riddle and certain images, and the remaining images, text and the narration act as checkpoints, showing you that you are on the right path in your investigation.
We have also redone certain fragments in Table 1 to reflect this new puzzle design structure. We hope you find the new system helpful, and we look forward to hearing your feedback!
Don't forget to visit us on the forums to discuss these changes, meet your fellow oneironauts and get updates on the content to come in the full release!
