Step into the high-stakes world of office politics and superhero management at the Superhero Dispatch Network, where every call matters and every choice can change your future. In Dispatch, the new narrative strategy game from former Telltale Games developers, you’re not saving the world with your fists—you’re saving it with decisions.
As Robert Robertson, an ex-hero now managing a team of reformed villains, you’ll face moments that test your morality, leadership, and heart. Every conversation can shift loyalties or spark rivalries, and relationships built early can determine whether your team trusts your leadership—or rebels against it.
This comprehensive guide breaks down every major choice and relationship outcome across Episodes 1 ("Pivot") and 2 ("Onboard"), helping you navigate Dispatch’s blend of story-driven tension and tactical management.
🎮 Understanding Dispatch’s Choice System

While many dialogue options add flavor or humor, the decisions that truly matter are marked by the classic notification:
"[Character Name] will remember that."
These signify pivotal moments that influence your relationships, dialogue options, and possibly future episode outcomes.
💬 Developer Insight: Early community analysis suggests that Episodes 1 and 2 mostly shape Robert’s personality and relationships, with deeper story branching expected in later episodes. But don’t underestimate them—these early dynamics are already setting emotional and narrative traps for what’s to come.
📊 Episode 1 & 2 Choice Outcomes Breakdown
Here’s your mission brief for navigating Dispatch’s tricky team dynamics. Every key decision in “Pivot” and “Onboard” affects your relationships and long-term narrative tone.
| Episode & Scene | The Choice | Outcome & Relationship Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Ep. 1: Bar Conversation | “I like helping people.” / “I don’t know.” / “Only thing I’m good at.” | Saying “I like helping people” builds trust with Blonde Blazer. “I don’t know” weakens your bond. |
| Ep. 1: Billboard Moment | “KISS HER” / “LET THE MOMENT PASS” | Choosing “KISS HER” unlocks the romance path with Blonde Blazer; letting it pass ends that possibility. |
| Ep. 2: Conference Room | “I’ll take your lead.” / “We were drunk.” | Saying “I’ll take your lead” strengthens your romantic relationship; “We were drunk” damages it. |
| Ep. 2: Meeting Royd | “BRO FIST” / “DO NOT BRO FIST” | Accepting the bro fist boosts your bond with Royd; rejecting it slightly lowers it. |
| Ep. 2: Invisigirl Debrief | “The air’s dry.” / “Invisigirl punched me.” / “I bumped my head.” | Reporting her (“Invisigirl punched me”) reduces trust. Covering for her builds respect. |
| Ep. 2: Dinner Invitation | “Yeah, sounds fun.” / “Sorry, I already ate.” / “Gotta get home to my dog.” | Declining dinner boosts your standing with Blonde Blazer; accepting lowers it slightly. |
🔍 Looking Ahead to Episode 3: “Turnover”
Episode 3 promises to deepen the personal and political tension at the SDN. While players are still documenting its branching dialogue, your relationship metrics with Blonde Blazer, Royd, and Invisigirl are expected to unlock new mission outcomes and loyalty dialogue paths.
📝 Tip: Keep your save files from Episode 2 handy—choices in “Onboard” appear to influence mission success rates in upcoming episodes. This guide will be updated as soon as the Episode 3 data rolls in.

💡 Advanced Relationship Management Strategies
🧭 1. Consistency Builds Trust
Dispatch rewards consistent personality patterns. Stay true to your chosen leadership style—compassionate, pragmatic, or cold—and your teammates will begin responding predictably to you. Flip-flopping weakens relationships.
🧠 2. Learn Your Team’s Personalities
Each member of your Z-Team has distinct moral boundaries, insecurities, and egos. Invisigirl values discretion. Royd responds to camaraderie. Blonde Blazer respects professionalism. Adapt your tone accordingly.
🎭 3. Role-Play, Don’t Min-Max
The best experience comes from authentic choices, not gaming the system. You’re writing your version of Robert Robertson’s redemption story—lean into your instincts rather than chasing “optimal” results.
🧍♂️ 4. Balance Personal and Professional Lines
Flirting with your boss or defending a teammate can be rewarding but risky. Dispatch’s narrative thrives on blurred boundaries—use them strategically, not recklessly.
🎯 Building Your Legacy at the SDN
As you progress, your network of relationships becomes the emotional backbone of your Dispatch experience. From romancing Blonde Blazer to mentoring Royd or earning the trust of Invisigirl, your dialogue choices shape your legacy as much as your dispatch decisions.
Will Robert become the empathetic leader who redeems his team—or the cynical ex-hero who treats his coworkers like tools? Every mission, every conversation, and every choice builds toward that final outcome.
The headset is on. The city’s in chaos. The team is waiting for your call—make it count, dispatcher.
