Aaron Paul, who has a heartbreakingly tense portrayal of Todd in both “Bojack Horseman” and “Breaking Bad,” stars in a new strategy story game from AdHoc, a studio headed by former Telltale developers. Dispatch is a story-driven strategy game in which you play a bankrupt superhero trying to get a new mech suit by working at a hero dispatch center. I’m having a hard time finding a trailer for this, but you can find it here on Steam.

Wait. I found it! However, I’ll leave the last part there. Consider it my gift to your reader. The gift of a visible workflow at 4am.

“Dispatch is a superhero workplace comedy where choices matter,” the descriptions read. “Manage a dysfunctional team of misfit heroes and strategize who to send to emergencies around the city while balancing office politics, personal relationships, and your own quest to become a hero.”

You’ll make decisions in an evolving story and manage a roster of superheroes on a tactical map of the city. In emergencies, you respond by using those you think are qualified for the job. Each hero has “idiosyncrasies, weaknesses, and baggage that you must overcome to keep the team together,” and you will also improve their skills and abilities.

This will be released sometime next year. Aside from some humor, I quite like the look of it! Management games with a bit of personality are always a treat, and the amount of different systems competing here looks fascinating. I also like the man who is also a bat.
