Title: Dive Into Dispatch – A New Narrative Indie Game From AdHoc Studio
It’s another week, and we’ve got an intriguing indie title to explore on Indie-licious: Dispatch. Developed by many of the creative minds behind Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us, Dispatch puts you in the shoes of a beaten-down hero who’s traded his powers for a desk job. The game comes to us from AdHoc Studio, and it launched on October 22, 2025, for PC and PlayStation 5.
Plot Overview
Dispatch follows Robert Robertson, formerly known as Mecha Man. After his iconic mech suit is destroyed, Robert’s days of active heroics are over. Instead, he finds himself working as an operator at a high-pressure superhero dispatch center. Now, instead of saving the day in the field, his new mission is to navigate office drama and allocate heroes to crises as they arise.
What To Expect
• Episodic narrative gameplay that puts story first
• Choices and consequences as you assign heroes to missions
• Office intrigue, quirky colleagues, and the pressures of coordinating superpowered responses
