Similar to a role-playing game, each user decides to begin a mission contract with either Primatech or Pinehearst. Each week, a new chapter is released for both the Primatech and Pinehearst sides, and players can choose to play one side or the other or both. The missions are entirely text based with a button to choose an action at the bottom of each scene. Occasionally, there may be video segments to watch and other tasks to perform off the NBC site. If a person chooses the wrong action and dies or gets captured, that person is returned to the beginning of the story and can begin again. No registration is required to participate.

|Upon receiving an e-mail from Primatech, the player heads to a big gym in [[Chadspeare, England|Chadspear]], a town four kilometers outside of [[London]]. There, amongst many people working out, the player meets Agent [[Jeremy Woo]] and follows him into the facility. Once inside, Agent Woo briefs the player about the [[Kill Squad]]'s attempt to kill Elle and shows a related photo. According to Woo, the Company has formed a new team called [[Task Force KS6]] who have been assigned to track down and eliminate the rogue squad. KS6 was to take down the Kill Squad during their assault on Elle, but an unknown third party interfered and killed one of the Kill Squad's men. Since it is unknown as to whether KS6 was compromised, the player sent alone on a reconnaissance mission to find out more about what occurred.<br />
It was released on January 14, 2009, during the hiatus between Volumes [[Volume Three|Three]] and [[Volume Four|Four]] of [[Season Three]].

She discovers an experimental camp and is attacked by what she describes as a monster. At the end of the iStory, Rachel lands a job with the government.
As directed, the player heads to a car rental agency that rented out a van that exploded during the incident. The player encounters a skinny man who works there, and based on a selection of interrogation method is able to learn either that the van was rented by Robert Greene or that there is a second identical van that was rented by the same person that has yet to be returned. When reporting back to Agent Woo by phone, he directs the player to head to the local police station and find out what they know. By offering to trade information with one of the detectives at the station, the player gets to see a picture of the Kill Squad's next target that was found at the scene. It is a photo of [[Maya Herrera]].<br />

Upon leaving and calling Woo back, Woo uses speakerphone to allow [[Marie Dunn]] of Operations to direct the player to head to the Primatech safe house ahead of a Primatech recon team. Marie notes that they think the Kill Squad may have taken supplies from the safe house. Upon arrival, the safe house turns out to be an old apartment building.<br />If the player learned earlier that there were two vans, the player will be directed to disarm a bomb in the second van before heading inside. Once inside, the player heads into the Primatech apartment on the ground floor, notice that only high-tech sniper rifles appear to be missing, and take photos with your cell phone. Just then, an intruder shoots and just misses the player, the bullet skimming the player's leg. The player then has to try and negotiate with the intruder. The intruder will then flee upon the sound of sirens and the player heads back to a hotel room.<br />
===[[The Agent]]===
If the player instead learned about Robert Greene, the player will instead be directed to notice Robert's name on one of the mailboxes. Once inside, the player goes directly to Robert's apartment on the fourth floor. Once inside, the player takes a cell phone photo of a marked map of a large city and of a studio apartment. The player is then shocked onto the ground by a large explosion outside, and the building is on fire. The next step is to flee, and the only safe way out is to jump out the window. Just before the player jumps, there's a large explosion on the ground floor and some of the building gives way. Luckily, the player survives falling four stories with only slight injuries and heads back to a hotel room.<br />
The third volume of iStory follows [[Rachel Mills]] as she works for [[Nathan Petrelli]], hunting down [[evolved humans]]. It was released on February 11, 2009, after [[Trust and Blood|the fifteenth episode]] of [[Season Three]] was released. In this volume, each user plays the role of [[Rachel Mills]] as she works as an agent for the government.
Agent Woo arrives to the player's hotel room, takes the player's cell phone photos and informs the player that the Kill Squad has fled the country and that KS6 is right on their tail. He adds that he will need some work done the Kill Squad's next target, Maya, so to keep a look out for a new e-mail.
