The game is set in the 1970s during the Crimebusters era, but little else about the plot is known. The first chapter of the game is a tutorial taking place while Rorschach and Nite Owl infiltrate a prison for unknown reasons. Underboss, a minor villain Rorschach and Nite Owl mention in the graphic novel as having been defeated by the pair in the past, appears in the game, as do other adversaries who are only mentioned or briefly shown in flashbacks in the original comic. Nite Owl’s flying craft, Archimedes, appears in the game, but it is unknown if the player has control of the vehicle during the game.
