played this streaming to discord with my friends and we all loved it. it was a great game and would love a longer version. much love to the creator 10/10
Thank you and most of our testing was done by our friends streaming it over discord so we’re glad to see the tradition carrying on! There are definitely more things to come so follow us on here for updates :)
I loved this game sooo much. This voice recognition adds to the atmosphere and the building tension! A very, very nice job. The only thing is that I agree the creature might be a bit too cringe. Still a great game tho!
A very fun game! I had thought that when I clicked the link it'll be some kind of disturbing dispatch calls but as I played, I realized that's not the only case. Looking forward to more horror games like this!
This was a fantastic game. I absolutely fell in love with the concept. I had to play 3-4 times to fully grasp the concept and all the story options. Amazing animations, storytelling, voice acting, movements, controls, and atmosphere. The meanings and hidden story behind this are great. Probably now one of my favorite games on here.
9.5/10
The minus 0.5 is due to the creature's design being a little corny and the little girl's voice (Sophie) being exaggerated.
This was a damn good game. Nails the experience of a public safety dispatcher almost perfectly (just not the whole, demon in the dispatch center thing haha). For those more interested in watching than playing, you can experience it with me here :)
Amazing game, loved every little thing about it, but the monster completely broke my immersion. It didnt even spook me if that was your point, i was just "why the fuck, i dont care, the girl is gonna die holy shit let me go back to my controls!"
Great demo! I just finished the game and wanted to say:
1- The game should be continued, I love being able to play 911 with my own voice and have all this environment crepping me out. The Karen was really funny.
2- The monster wasnt really needed, sure it could represent lots of things like "its the representation of your guilt on the last call you had plus the guilt you already had for what happened at the begining of the game." but keeping him only in the environment is enough, plus you could keep the plushie thing but then when you see it on your table, make it disappear and move on with the game. (I hope the monster was just a way to end the demo and could be removed in the final game).
OR even maybe remove the monster after all!, everything else works perfectly for a real horror game. Its way better a game based on psychology horror than jumpscares (for me the game lost its horror with the monster, I just dont get scared by jumpscares :,T)
3- You could add more things in the background related to the calls. If the caller is reporting a thief, you could be able to see a darky figure breaking things on the office or you hear random footsteps in the office. If there's a fire, then your office could get some fire, etc etc...
Anyways, great demo. Hope the game could be bigger and last more than 15 game minutes. Sure with all the fame you got you could just ask volunteers for voice acting and history enrichment.
Thank you very much for the review! I’ll try to provide a little bit more information where I can.
Regarding your 2nd point there is actually a strong link between the monster and the dispatcher with a lot of clues around the office about what it is. However it doesn’t seem like anyone has figured it out yet so we maybe should’ve made it a bit more obvious.
As for your 3rd point, I agree we could do a bit more in the office but there are quite a few things that happen that are very subtle and often go unnoticed by a lot players. Also as this was only a short project (a few months) we wanted to keep the scope small. This is also why we made it roughly only 15 minutes long as we felt this is as much as one programmer could achieve in this time.
I really appreciate you taking the time to play through the game and give us such constructive feedback. Hopefully it will mean that in our next projects we can avoid some of these pitfalls. Thank you!
First of all... I hate you.... Second of all i LOVE THE GAME!!!.... Third of all... i hate you even more now because of that ending... STROKE warning much ;d ;d ;d Btw love the blood splats in the beginning, adds a nice touch :d
Thank you very much, I just finished watching your play through and I can tell where you got your name from! The blood splats were difficult to do, so I’m glad to hear our hard work paid off! :)
im up to the call where the ex husband is breaking in and after telling the daughter to run to her room, ive heard two loud bangs and now just silence, is this supposed to happen or is this a bug/glitch?
Try looking around your environment to see if there is anything for you to interact with, if not then it may be a bug. If that’s the case please reply to this comment and I’ll try to figure out what may have caused it :)
back to r4eport that it was indeed not a bug and all i had to do was look around the environment, and also in the last dispatch call, I've found that you wont make it if you send off the police report with the small amount of information you have, i understand if that is intentional, yet, I have only had a few instances with this i am more then happy to test it our for you if you would like :)
You could try to run it as an administrator, or try to download the zip file (Dispatch_Extract&Play) which contains all the game files. Although the voice recognition may not work with the zip version as it is unable to set permissions.
Please let me know if this works, I hope you enjoy the game!
TwoShoedLou can we make a discord server about the game i think that will be cool if you want to i really like the game imma make the server let me know if you wanna join
Thank you playing and I’m sorry to hear the speech recognition didn’t work for you.
This can often be caused by either incorrect permissions (fixed by using the Dispatch_Setup.exe) or by windows picking up the incorrect default device which can be solved by going into your sound settings and right clicking the device you’d like to use and setting it to default then restarting the game.
That was incredible! You guys did so well with this, I just wish there was more to play! Please make this into a full game, id happily buy and play it!
also, I had no idea this was going to be that type of horror game. Not gonna lie. So when scary stuff started happening, I was on the edge of my seat. Lol
Thank you, sounds like you had a tense play through! We will be making more stuff so make sure to follow our itch.io page if you’d like updates. Thanks again for your support and kind words :)
This Game is amazing would be better if you developed the game more and added more scenes. The game would be fun if it had two stories one with the horror and one without. I enjoyed the Voice recognition that is what made it realistic.
This game is amazing! Dispatch is now my absolute favorite horror title of all time, the suspense and build-up is perfectly executed. It's able to get you so invested in the story in such a small amount of time. 10/10 I've already recommended to a friend
Oh my lord i died on the inside not typically liking horror. But this literally made me jump across the room still a great game and would like to see more calls come to the reality of the game

nice channel man!
Whenever I open the game, it just stays on a black screen, I was really hoping to playing this game:(

Loved this game ! Well made for sure! Game here:
First game. Please subscribe!!Thanks for taking the time to play, I’ll watch your video now and subscribe! :)
I enjoyed this game very much :D I just never found out why is the mic connected to the gameplay. Great concept tho!
Thank you! And you can select the dialogue options via Voice Recognition :)
WHAT A GREAT GAME! My viewers really enjoyed this game! I suggest you go play this game for yourself!
Thank you for playing, I’m glad your viewers enjoyed watching too. It is always interesting seeing how different people approach the situations!
yeah man really I got a bunch of people telling me that they didn't expect the ending at all! It was funny seeing their reaction! Lol
how do i send units
When you get to that part in the dialogue it will be done automatically :)
Amazing game, loved every little thing about it, but the monster completely broke my immersion. It didnt even spook me if that was your point, i was just "why the fuck, i dont care, the girl is gonna die holy shit let me go back to my controls!"

I tried to download the EXE file, but my computer is so tightly secured, both my antivirus and windows defender stopped the game from being open.

Yeah of course you can make a server about the game and I’d love to be a part of it. My discord is Lou#0067 :)

It is the green button below the contact me section :)
when i try to start the game, i get an error after the brightness setting, it takes a few seconds then it closes the game automatically

Thank you for the bug report, I’ll take a look into this.
I've implemented a potential fix, please let me know if this resolves your issue.
Thank you, yeah we thought the voice recognition was a must for this type of game! More is on the way so make sure to follow us for updates :)
very cool game
Thank you!
Good just the speech Recognition din't work
Thank you playing and I’m sorry to hear the speech recognition didn’t work for you.

thanks going to try
That sounds bad but it worked fine for me, perhaps its some system error hopefully you find the problem soon
That was incredible! You guys did so well with this, I just wish there was more to play! Please make this into a full game, id happily buy and play it!
also, I had no idea this was going to be that type of horror game. Not gonna lie. So when scary stuff started happening, I was on the edge of my seat. Lol
