Bro this game scared the living shit out of me, i did NOT see that coming. in terms of jump scares this is the scariest indie horror game I've ever played and i cant wait to see more of your work in the future :)
Wow thank you very much, I accidentally scared myself so many times whilst coding that so I’m glad I’m not the only one! We have actually just started work on a new project so if you’d like updates follow either on here or on Twitter (our handle is @twoshoedgames)
You Have A really good idea going on here I was having such an intense time I Honestly wish it could have gone on Longer!! Im pretty surprised I got the Good ending on the first try. But the only bad thing i have to say is the monster looks a bit generic and could have used something to spice him up. Had A wonderful experience Please keep Up The Great Work !!!
I gotta say, This game caught me completely off guard, the quality of detail and the experience itself was awesome and I was completely immersed the whole time. the gameplay is thrilling and really locks you into the scenario. I wasnt sure if there were multiple endings but if there was it would add an extra layer of intensity. 10/10
Thank you very much for taking the time to play through our game and your kind words have made our day :) P.s. there are a couple different ending so give it a second playthrough if you like!
This game was really well done. You did a great job creating a tense atmosphere and a feeling of desperation. The random horror elements throughout the office while dealing with Sophie on the phone was a nice touch. I thought the game captured the spirit of the creepypasta "My Final Call As A Police Dispatcher Has Scarred Me" fairly well. The ending got me pretty good too.
Great work TwoShoedLou! Hope to see more games from you in the future.
Amazing game. The atmosphere alone is enough to give someone goosebumps. I only have 1 Act left. If you're thinking about this game. DO IT. It definitely is up the with From the darkness, Wrong Turn and PT. if you see this please bring us another game like this
Really enjoyed the game reading my voice. It let me take the game to a new immersion level while playing it. The ending jump scare felt a little out of place but I can appreciate the metaphor for what it was.
Thanks very much for taking the time to play through our game! In regards to the monster, we wanted to use it as a metaphor and link it into the backstory. However, we seem to have not made the story clear enough which left a lot of players feeling like it was out of place. A mistake on our part that we will definitely learn from going forwards! :)
I have to agree with some others here. The ending makes no sense to me, and cheapens the whole game experience. The dispatch gameplay has good bones, but the jumpscare feels totally shoehorned. I think this game would be better relying on suspense.
Not trying to hate, I really enjoyed 95% of what you did! Exited to see more.
This game had a really interesting idea, i haven't seen anything like this before, but the jumpscare part was completely out of place. This game should have just ended there.
The game was quite enjoyable and immersive. Liked the concept of a dispatch call simulator. The karen was a nice bonus to the game. The voice recognition was a pretty cool feature too. ***spoilers*** i felt the monster was however unnecessary while it may or may not surprise people the experience of being the dispatch caller was by itself interesting. Again the game probably is trying to be true to the creepypasta so not a big issue to me. Also i wish it was more creepier though. Overall liked it. Good job devs! Keep making more!
Interesting game, However I realistically cant see anyone actually getting genuinely terrified or scared while playing this game. The voice acting is lazy, and distract away from the ambience. The office 'jump scares' are obvious and give themselves away quite early, and the narrative is lacking. There is no actual sense of connectivity here to the player and the character let alone any real in depth narrative to try and let us get attached to the world itself. Has a TON of potential, However severely lacking in general.
I actually enjoyed this game more than I expected! Really like the concept of it and was done well and very interesting. Would like to see this expanded on!
This was such a great game! It blew me away how the audio system worked and really integrated the player into the game! It was honestly really fun and the two 'stories' that happen before everything goes down was really fun and quirky!
(Video at the end if anyone is interested in watching!)
The calls and the environment becoming scarier was super engrossing and enthralling, of course enhanced by the voice system. It was all very well done.
My only suggestions to maybe improve the game in the future would be three things; One is to have a more emotional voices (Though I do realise that getting better voice actors is more expensive and it itself can be hard to do), the first call had the emotion of the caller being really worried about his doggo. The second call did suit the Karen vice of it, could have been more angrier, etc, but it had it's own 'drunk Karen' kind of vibe and was fine overall. Now for the third call; as intriguing and immersive as it was, the sort of emotionlessness of the wife a little bit kind of made it not as immersive. (This is just my opinion though, but I still found it fun and immersive!)
The second thing would be to have more stuff happen in the office and the room in front. The subtle writings were pretty good and really added to the ambience and it was refreshing as not many horror games add the subtle spooks, so really cool that you did! Maybe some life in the police office would also add some amount of immersion, but yeah, more things happening around would add a lot more to the environment, though the stuff that did happen was really well done!
The last thing would be the actual story and also the monster. Building up the story to what it was at a longer pace might have suited it; let the players slowly start to realise what's happening. Unless the players look at the file and look closely, they might not connect the dots; some might even brush off what the first officer said at the beginning because of your really cool mic system and funny stories. And building the story up would also allow the monster at the end to be slowly introduced. Maybe show a hand or a shadow, and then some other scary things that it does, and then at the end, the monster appears and kills the player. A build up would also suit the story rather than having the monster randomly appear and Chidori the player's character.
And as an avid Creepypasta reader, I saw the where your inspirations came from and was really neat to see how you made a game inspired from the story! Overall it was a really great game and tonnes of fun to play, you could make people pay for this and there wouldn't be any complaints. Hope to see if this audio system interaction with the game is developed as it was really cool to use and experience! Do take care and good luck with future projects and anything else!
Just finished streaming this game on my Channel (the language is in Indonesian). This is such an amazing concept. I love the voice recognizion mechanic. The last call was very intense and immersive because of it. Still doesn't understand why I managed to get the good ending though lol
I would love to see a game like this that's not horror. Would be very intense if we could guide people through intense emergency situation using voice.
I loved the game its did a great job at giving creepy vibes while also the seriousness of the calls. It was such a great experience. It would have been even better if it was a bit longer
OMG!!I loved the concept of being able to play with the voice. The events that happen show the stress of the person and we are really caught in it.Ah and thanks to you I pissed myself in fear ^^
This game was really impressive. Reading the description I thought the voice recognition would've been half-baked, but man, it caught 99.99% of what I said. Are there any plans for an expansion or another story? I'd love to see more!
That’s great to hear, it was tough to get right so I’m happy it paid off! We are definitely planning on making more content, not sure what it will be just yet but follow us here on itch for updates :)
This was fantastic! I hadn't played any game as a 911 dispatch and this blew me away! Liked the conversations between characters especially with KAREN lmao! Loved the graphics and the atmosphere as well! Keep up the good work!
This was amazing. The entire experience is stressful, as I imagine the real work would be, and the little ambiance touches really amp it up. Probably the loudest I've yelled in a while.

I'll be honest with you - that ending got me good! lmao
Glad to hear it, thanks for playing!

Great work TwoShoedLou! Hope to see more games from you in the future.I most absolutely definitely want to see more of this game. Either more added to this one, or a full release on steam. Stellar experience.
I agree with others; The game could be kind of better without that jumpscare but the storyline was incredible.
This was a really intense game, and I loved it. Did NOT expect the jumpscare. Well done!
Amazing game. The atmosphere alone is enough to give someone goosebumps. I only have 1 Act left. If you're thinking about this game. DO IT. It definitely is up the with From the darkness, Wrong Turn and PT. if you see this please bring us another game like this
Hello, I would ask you if I can stram your game on twitch?
Hi, yes of course you can, please provide a link so we can watch :D
Ok, thanks!
I will send the link when I stream it.
Really enjoyed the game reading my voice. It let me take the game to a new immersion level while playing it. The ending jump scare felt a little out of place but I can appreciate the metaphor for what it was.
This TERRIBLE 911 Call -- Dispatch Game

Agreed. The hallucinating because of PTSD was fine, the random generic monster was silly and unnecessary,
This game is fucking epic. it would be cool if you would make a little bit more of that. heres the video, if youre interrested.
Thank you, we will definitely check that out!
Wow, thank you so much! We will have more games to come so stay tuned :D
Hello, a friend recommended this game to me and wow. I really liked it. I made a video about it if anyone was curious.
Anyway, great game.

Scare Factor 1 out of 10

Tried out Dispatch, nice game.

Thank you, the voice recognition took a bit of work so I’m happy you enjoyed using it! :D
