Signal Zero: Dispatch

Signal Zero: Dispatch puts you in charge of a police response during a night of escalating crime in a neon-lit city. As lead operator, you carry no weapon: you manage the radio network, allocate resources and make split-second decisions to keep your officers alive as the city nears systemic collapse.

Dispatch across the city

You work from a dynamic, asymmetrical dispatch terminal built for rapid response. Area scans help you anticipate hidden threats, but you need a reliable informant equipped to avoid sending officers blind into unknown emergencies. Informants can provide critical data during scans, turning unknowns into information you can act on.

Escalating threats

The night follows a 10-level crime progression, from localized cyber-crimes and petty theft to corporate violence and high-speed vehicle pursuits. You can upgrade your units and dispatch specialized vehicles to deal with increasingly dangerous cyber-threats and heavily armed syndicates.

Coordinate pursuits

Vehicle pursuits unfold in real time. You anticipate suspects’ movements and direct patrol cars to cut them off.

The radio network

The soundscape includes police scanner crackle and officers calling for backup. The radio serves as your lifeline as you manage the response.
