I absolutely LOVED everything about this game from the voice recognition to the big jump scares!! Everything was done so well and the hard work definitely shows here!! I wasn't sure why exactly we were being haunted by some demon or whatever it was (I think it has something to do with what our chief was talking about when we first got into the game but I am not exactly sure what that was all about). I hope this gets made into a full length game because I would LOVE to play more!! GREAT JOB!
Check timestamps Dispatch is the second game in this video
Well, well, well. The first ever game where I can't leave my chair and/or move around...
Being quite a mobile guy in real life, that was a novel approach to gaming. To just sit there and wait for the phone to ring, that's not what I'm all about, as I just go for what I need/want.
So, kudos to you guys, for forcing/letting me have a close look at the person I'm absolutely not [and never want to be].
The interaction with faceless individuals, enhances the feeling of a detachment from reality and plays well into the atmosphere of creepiness.
I was so f***ing focused on getting things right, that I missed most of what happened around me. A thing that can be both good and bad.
I <3 the finishing touch on everything around me, because it makes playing a game that more realistic. Well done and I love/d it. Hat in hand to all of you!
Well, this game definitely had some spooks. The environmental effects were very interesting. Especially when the little bunny got speared to the corkboard(and then moved)! Good job with this game.
Loved the game but almost wish the horror came from the calls you received instead of the monster itself. I enjoyed the changing environments "Liar" and such popping up various places, but the actual monster itself seemed out of place. Hope you do more with this concept and maybe make a full game dedicated to the horrors of police dispatch.
Loved the tension this game builds as you try to make the right choices, also this game gave me one of the wildest jumpscares lol. Looking forward to more games from you in the future
I loved every second of this game! I was super immersed right off the bat and enjoyed seeing the environment change due to the calls. I really hope you continue to create more games like this or even continue this game as a series.
Amazing Concept, i do think the Exucution was a bit lacking. Firstly, the voice acting wasn´t very good, i know i can´t expect much from a small indie developer but in a game which is based on voice alone good voiceacting is important. I like the suptle horror very much though, not many games do this! Keep up the good work though!
The silly 911 calls leading up to the very intense 911 call while unsettling stuff starts happening around the office was a very nice design. I was zoomed into the dispatcher screen so i didn't notice the Windigo (monster) on my first play through; until i turned around and looked back at the desk then BOO! Jump scare got me lol Can't wait to make my friends play this! Highly recommended well done!
Saw a streamer play it @analyzeitgaming btw and the game was pretty fun especially the karen lmao, we are all sad that its short but better than nothing
I Really Liked The Game! Even without the monster at the end the tension of the situation was already scary enough since it's things that actually do happen in that Job, 9.5/10
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!

Pretty funny game tbh but it was a good story line, anyone else get annoyed with Sophies voice?

Thank you, we really tried to go for a tense and somewhat eerie vibe so I’m glad it worked! Thanks for playing :)

Thanks for the feedback and thank you for playing, glad you enjoyed it!
I'll be honest with you - that ending got me good! lmao
Glad to hear it, thanks for playing!
<3 ^^

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!

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.

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.
