Dispatch

If you love the grounded side of superhero fiction, the real people living under all that cape-and-chaos, Dispatch might be your next obsession. From the minds behind Critical Role, this half–visual novel, half–dispatch sim lets you juggle emergency calls, office drama, and superpowered coworkers. Just remember: HR doesn't look kindly on incinerating your coworkers.

Ever wondered what it would be like to work in an emergency dispatch center? Well, if you have then you’re in luck. AdHoc Studio’s new game, Dispatch, has you covered with a twist. Instead of dispatching police to emergencies, this choose-your-own-adventure Telltale-style game

Episodic video games are back, but it’s not Telltale this time. AdHoc Studio has burst onto the scene with their superhero sitcom, Dispatch, which might be one of the best games of the year.

Narrative brilliance wrapped in a clever episodic shell, Dispatch subverts genre expectations not by spectacle, but by empathy. It reminds us that the best superhero stories are not only about flights and fights, but about the humans — flawed, funny, fragile — trying to make sense of it all.

Dispatch is a rare example of a narrative adventure that understands exactly what it wants to be and executes its vision with finesse.

After sharing our first impressions of what looked like a promising new gem in a very busy 2025 for game developers, here is our verdict.

8.5/10

Dispatch is a smart and well-written superhero drama from Telltale veterans that combines interactive storytelling with the management of a burned-out "Z-team" of heroes.

An engrossing choose-your-own-adventure comic book with a captivating cast. I’ll remember that.

Dispatch is no repeat of the tired, mature superhero story, but rather a heartfelt adventure about former villains looking for a second chance. With a cast of lovable characters voiced by an all-star cast, impressive interactive gameplay, and all wrapped in a gorgeous animated art style, AdHoc Studio's debut title is the underdog of the year that has reopened the door that I thought was long closed on the episodic, choice-based narrative genre.
