Dispatch is set in an alternate Los Angeles where super-powers — and consequently superheroes and supervillains — are commonplace and thus have divided society between "supers" (those born with powers such as flight and invisibility or born with a different appearance) and "normies" (those devoid of superpowers). While there are independent superheroes, several of them work for the Superhero Dispatch Network (SDN), which provides services and protection for their subscribers.
Manage a team of reformed super-villains turned heroes (the “Z-Team”), assigning them to appropriate emergencies around the city, based on their individual stats, synergies, and mission requirements. Navigate office politics, personal relationships, and narrative decisions that affect how characters interact and how the story unfolds. Rebuild Robert’s sense of purpose and (potentially) his hero status, while juggling the responsibilities of his desk job and the ambitions lurking underneath.
