What you're actually playing
A narrative game with a spreadsheet
You run a superhero dispatch desk. Calls list stat requirements, and 8 heroes have five stats each — the match is the gameplay.
Episodic, and finished
All 8 episodes shipped between October and November 2025, two at a time. Roughly 14 hours for the season.
No manual save
It autosaves and never asks twice. Choices lock, achievements can be missed permanently, and a second run is the only way back.
Release schedule
Two episodes per drop. All eight are out.
