Flashbacks will be an integral part of the storyline. The story follows the first two seasons of the show. The player explores locations seen in the show, such as the caves, the beach camp, the territory belonging to The Others and the Swan Station. The player will also interact with some of the major characters of the television show; Sawyer, Jack, Kate, Sayid, Michael and Walt. Screen caps and images released so far to the media shows Elliot having to avoid the "Smoke Monster" and the Black Rock. Trading with other survivors and taking photos with a camera are also part of the gameplay.

The game will be split up into seven "episodes". Each episode was plotted by the show's executive producers, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.[5] The Third Season DVD bonus disk contains a feature about the game's development, and also reveals that Ben and Juliet will be in the game. It has been confirmed that the actors for Ben Linus (Michael Emerson), Mikhail Bakunin (Andrew Divoff), Sun-Hwa Kwon (Yunjin Kim), Desmond Hume (Henry Ian Cusick), Claire Littleton (Emilie de Ravin), and Tom (M. C. Gainey) all provided voice work for the game, while the rest of the major characters are provided by stand-ins.
