On December 15th, 2017, Alice & Smith released the Whitechapel DLC for The Black Watchmen, a PARG (Permanent Alternate Reality Game). 4 days after the release, a live event began, known as Operation TidalVortex.

The mission began as the situation room previewed a Dagaz rune, and the event was officially classified as live.

Briefing

The Situation Room during the TidalVortex live event.

On December 19th, 2017, at approximately 1:54PM UTC, a briefing email was sent out to all Black Watchmen agents. This email contained a classified document from site 7361, which proves that Mr. Whitechapel is behind the mysterious occurrences in New England. The email also contained a set of instructions:

  • Take your cell phone and go to map.blackwatchmen.com
  • Record yourself reading the following incantation:
A custodia matutina usque ad noctem
  • The Situation Room will broadcast a symbol in realtime, draw it on your cellphone to submit your voice recording.
It is believed that once this chanting reaches critical mass, this intercepted broadcast will be understandable.

After agents received the briefing, the Black Watchmen Map along with the in game map began to fill up with symbols indicating an agent in that area had recorded and submitted their chant. Soon after these symbols appeared, audio cues of agents chanting began to play, each audio cue being repeated after ending.


It is believed that once enough agents record and submit their chanting, the next part of the event will begin. This is only a belief, and can not be confirmed or denied until there are facts to back it up.


As of now, this is all that is known. This page will continue to be updated as more of the event plays out.
