15 Years Celebration



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.

New DLC





Agent, you're expertise are needed immediately for a special operation. The successful completion of Operation ROLLINGVIPER has lead us to uncover a new threat - The Crimson Library, a site found only on the dark web, that shows unimaginable evil. Exposure to this site is known to cause insanity and violent outbursts. With the help of Agent Wheeler and NITE Team 4, you must investigate the source of the site and stop the spread of this madness. In the Alone in the Dark Web DLC, you’ll need to complete all 24 in-client puzzles in a whole new mission set that brings you to the brink of the dark web—and insanity.



This DLC is unlike any previous The Black Watchmen content. We are experimenting with new puzzle mechanics, alternative narrative approaches and human subject… well, let’s just say we’re trying something new, and we would love to get feedback on your experiences. You can tell us all about it, and meet your fellow agents, here.



The difficulty level of the DLC is higher, as it is aimed at more seasoned TBW agents. We encourage all our players to enjoy the DLC, but would suggest not starting with this Spec Ops.

On December 3, a major riot broke out in Abuja, NG causing significant civilian casualties. Local authorities claim the violence erupted suddenly, without warning, across the city. An investigation into the incident revealed the riots began at various Internet cafes in key locations in Abuja, near High Value Targets (HVT) and that the outbursts all began at roughly the same time. Since then, similar riots have broken out in Nairobi, KE, Lusaka, ZM and Monrovia, LR.

Our analysis suggests some aspect of these Internet cafes cause the riots, but we do not yet understand how. NITE Team 4 is mounting an investigation so we can learn more about the exact nature of the link.



All agents must work together in an effort to gather a greater understanding of a selected hot zone from NITE Team 4. For more informations, visit our active com channel.

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.

TOP SECRET//SI//REL TO NT4


We recently intercepted an email sent by David Murray, a mercenary hacker who we believe has been hired by the Advanced Microbial Weapons and Operations Group (AMWOG). Recent communications sent by Murray suggest he is preparing for a large-scale attack on an unknown target. Our analysts have prepared a background report on Murray to assist in your investigation.

Your objective is to decrypt the intercepted email and determine the name of the equipment Murray plans to use against the target. To report this information to HQ, we have established a temporary secure drop portal for all intel codenamed the Secure Intelligence and Recon Export Node (SIREN). Report all intel to the SIREN at: siren.niteteam4.com
