Dispatch

The Dispatch redefines the superhero genre by placing it in the world of office routine. Instead of saving cities, the player is tasked with distributing tasks: a former hero nicknamed Mecha-Man named Robert Robertson lost his suit in a battle with the enemy and ended up in the control center. Not all things are suitable for each hero: one is good at rescuing, the second at analyzing negotiations, and the third at minor incidents. A mistake in selecting a performer results in damage to the city. A special irony is that former supervillains with whom he once fought are working under his command. You have to navigate office politics, emergencies, and personal dramas to keep the city from falling apart. Between shifts you have to deal with the staff: promotions, conflicts and requests from colleagues take up as much attention as the map. The basis is the strategic map: it shows active incidents that require immediate solutions. Sending a hero on a mission is not enough - it is important to choose the right performer, because everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. The plot is presented in episodes with forks, and the voice acting and production make it look like an animated series for adults. Scenes and dialogues are presented as episodes of a series, and the player's choices affect relationships within the team. The voice acting and rhythm of the narration make the story easy to understand. Tasks vary in urgency and reward, and over time, more serious threats appear on the map. For those who like unconventional stories and humor about adult problems, this office will seem familiar.
