Dispatch plunges the player straight into a gripping superhero story, introducing the core characters who drive the narrative. As a narrative-focused adventure, the episode presents numerous dialogue options and critical choices that players must navigate.
While some of these selections simply add color to the conversation, others have the power to impact the main storyline or significantly shape character relationships as the series progresses. Below is a comprehensive walkthrough of the first episode, detailing every significant choice and dialogue option players will encounter in Dispatch.
Updated December 29, 2025, by Waseem Muhammad: The episodes in Dispatch offer a high level of replayability, and one reason to replay them is to retry the dispatching sequences. The calls can succeed regardless of who the player sends, but some are better choices than others. Below, we have included all the calls in the dispatch sequence for the first episode. In addition to this, a new table has also been added at the bottom of the guide linking to the next episodes of this superhero adventure game.
Best Protagonists in Telltale Games
Telltale Games have brought some amazing protagonists to life, enriching the stories that they inhabit. Yet, which of them are the best?
Dispatch Episode 1 Walkthrough
After the episode starts, you will be introduced to Robert, the main character, as he lies on the floor talking to another person. For the first question, you will have the following choices regarding his father:
- I love my dad.
- Didn’t know him well.
- He’s gone.
You can choose any option, as there are no consequences. Continue the conversation until Robert takes the goon out onto the balcony and threatens him with the choices:
- Let Him Drop.
- Pull Him Back.
If you choose the first option, there will be no major changes, but you will encounter a slightly different interaction later in the episode.
Next, you will complete your first few QTEs (Quick Time Events) if you have selected the Interactive experience. Once you defeat the enemies, you will hack into a device, which starts the hacking sequence minigame. This is quite a straightforward section where you must move right on the screen and press the buttons that pop up. There will be a point where you must open a path to one data square, then return to open the other path to access the remaining data squares.
Once the QTEs are finished and you find yourself in the security room, you will receive the following dialogue choices:
- It’s over, Shroud.
- Prepare to die.
- I’m here to f*** you up.
You can choose any of these options, and the next choice will be:
This choice will determine which action you perform on the goon ahead. Only a small part of the cutscene will differ, but there are no other changes to the outcome.

During your conversation with her, she will give you glasses that Robert will wear, and this starts the SDN Dispatcher tutorial. In the following section, you will have to select a Superhero to dispatch for the call. Every superhero has different stats, so you will need to gauge what the call requires.
