An interactive game on super-English feature ” Dispac ” , developed by the Ad-Hoc Studio in collaboration with Cristical Role Despite the fact that the model issued by its chapter has suffered from the disease of the player, it has achieved a double harvest in terms of reputation and sales, with a 97 per cent positive rating in Steam to date.
Dispatch was officially launched on 22 October of last year, with 10 days on the line, or over 1 million players, reaching a milestone of 2 million in the first month, with cumulative sales exceeding 3 million by the end of 2025. This is a remarkable achievement for a new narrative IP, given that chapters I and II came online about 10 weeks ago. According to data released by the Adhoc studio on the social media, Bluesky, players have cumulatively completed 52.5 million attendance movements, handled 720 million caller calls and sent more than 1 billion heroes. Dispatch was strong on media platforms such as YouTube and Twitch, where video views lasted more than 23 million hours.
The data published at the AdHoc studio not only reflect the level of user participation but also reveal interesting patterns of player behaviour. Only about 5 per cent (about 164,000) of players pass customs without having a romantic relationship with any actor. Nearly 2 million players chose to connect with the fake “invisigal” and another 1 million chose “Blonde Blazer”. The hotness of the relationship system confirms the enduring attraction of narrative choices in drama-driven games.

It is interesting to note that Dispatch started on the line with its “large scale” as a player and that the Adhoc studio was developing to cut some of the adult content. The production team adjusted the content while maintaining a sense of humor and the integrity of the narrative, and eventually presented a work that preserved both the landmark selection branch of Telltale (the Walking Dead series), the essence of multiline narratives and role interaction, and the acceptance of a wider audience. The Dispatch development team was composed mainly of former Telltale developers who had been involved in the production of Walking Dead and Walking with Wolves, Homeless Land: Legend, and was divided into eight chapters. The story focuses on Robert Robert Robertson, the third generation superhero, who joined the superhero dispatch centre for financing maintenance after he lost his powers and his armour was destroyed, and was responsible for dispatching the super-British team to respond to various criminal incidents. The central paradox of the game is that the dispatching centre provided Robert with a team of “corrected” villains. Players need to assign the right people on the basis of role skills to deal with events, and in so doing, they need to respond to emerging conflicts.
In the light of the success of the first season, the AdHoc studio has indicated that it is considering producing a second season, with the future or a new role and story for players. For new players not yet experienced, Dispatch marks the revival of the “Telltale” adventure game, which has become one of the representatives of the 2025 drama-driven game, thanks to its humorous tone, narrative depth and multi-week playability. In 2026, the development team, or a focus on community-based operations, will continue to explore and continue to cultivate the interactive narrative experience of Dispatch, which has been a great success. With the commercial validation of over 3 million sales, the game injects new energy into the field of interactive narratives.
