That’s the best shot of the Aurora Australis that I’m likely to get from here.

That’s Episode 1 done, and that’ll do it for tonight. The storytelling’s tight so far, there’s just enough interactivity to put the player ‘in’ the scene, and the shift gameplay intrigues me. I can already see how this is “Twilight for dudes”, but as a dude I fuck with that! #DispatchGame

Oh man, even in the tutorial you have to be conservative with who you send out and for what. I assumed it’d be a cakewalk, tried sending a bunch of heroes out together, and took a cascade of losses when they weren’t back in time for a wave of calls.

This is a cool system. Strategic, chaotic, and story-driven all at once. I’ve never seen any game integrate all that — they usually pick two. #DispatchGame

The animation in #DispatchGame slaps harder than it has any right to.

Opening scenes go hard and fast. Feels similar to the opening of the Telltale Batman series. I’m okay with going back to the same well if the well still kicks ass.

Whoa. In a single moment — not even a 30-second scene! — they just showed us how the galactic senate is dissolved by ANH (only 3 years later). This is Sidious's influence to the core, and a deliciously relevant audiovisual bite of the Empire's fascism.
