AdHoc Studio’s choose-your-own-adventure-style video game *Dispatch* launched its final two installments on Wednesday, giving the more than 1 million players who have purchased copies a conclusion to the superhero workplace comedy.
Of course, given that the path a player chooses to take affects the story they get, it’s hard to discuss specific spoilers about the multiple possible endings. However, no matter the path you took, Aaron Paul—who stars in the game as the voice of Robert Robertson, a.k.a. Mecha Man—told *Variety* there’s a chance for more. This was before *Dispatch* launched its first two episodes on October 22 to rave reviews and strong sales.
“Maybe, maybe not. With good storytelling, there’s always room,” Paul said in an interview last month. “I think it could end perfectly here. But also, the door is definitely slightly ajar, for sure, for more. So we’ll see.”
Over the course of its eight-episode first season, the video game *Dispatch* follows a dysfunctional team of misfit heroes as players strategize who to send to emergencies around the city, all while balancing office politics, personal relationships, and their own quest to become a hero.
Robert Robertson is at the center as the dispatch operator who has had to give up on his own superhero career as Mecha Man due to a damaged suit.
Paul says the role, his first video game acting part, was a challenging one because of the multiple different storyline options he went through during the recording process.
“With him in particular, not giving too much away, the dynamic with a lot of the characters are drastically different because of the gamers’ decisions,” Paul explained. “That was a little complicated for me. I think this is why it took so long to record. But it was an interesting challenge because you’re just telling such a different narrative and you gotta respond accordingly.”
Interestingly, though, Paul says he doesn’t actually have a preferred outcome for Robert at the end of Episode 8 of *Dispatch*.
“Actually, you know what? No, I really don’t. They’re all so interesting and it leaves the audience, I think, wanting more, no matter where you land, which is unique,” Paul said. “I don’t want to give too much away, but there are definitely paths that you can take that completely land you somewhere entirely different towards the end and the path forward is like, God knows where that leads, which is really interesting.”
