Title: Indie-licious Spotlight – Dispatch
It’s another week, and Indie-licious is back with a fresh narrative gem: Dispatch. From many of the creators behind Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us, Dispatch delivers a witty, character-driven story about heroes… and the people who send them into action.
**Developer**: AdHoc Studio
**Release Date**: October 22, 2025
**Platforms**:
– PC
– PlayStation 5
## Story Overview
You play as Robert Robertson, once the celebrated hero Mecha Man. After his mech suit was destroyed in a catastrophic showdown, Robert hangs up his spandex and takes a desk job as an operator at a high-stakes superhero dispatch. Now, he’s on the front lines of office politics, balancing team egos and civilian crises alike—one phone call at a time.
Every day brings a new emergency: a bank robbery gone haywire, a villainous plot unfolding downtown, or a run-of-the-mill fire that needs dousing. It’s up to Robert to assign the right hero to each situation, manage limited resources, and keep both his colleagues and the public safe.
## Why You Should Watch
– Experience an episodic narrative with branching choices
– See how a “blue-collar” hero handles bigger egos and higher stakes
