Overview

Dispatch Control puts you in the dispatcher's seat of a fire and ambulance operation center. Developed and published by Tom Holscher, this simulation and strategy title launched on Steam on October 24, 2026.

It offers a single-player experience with online co-op, letting you handle emergency calls in real time. The game is available in German and English, with full audio support for both languages.

Highlights

  • Realistic Dispatch Mechanics: Question callers, confirm locations, and send suitable crews to incidents. You'll track vehicles as they travel and receive updates, all while new calls may come in at any moment.
  • Dynamic Incident Management: Use selectable questions and responses to assess each situation. Establish addresses, identify hazards, calm distressed callers, and record new information in the incident file. Handle callbacks and adjust your response as the situation evolves.
  • Co-op and Strategy Elements: Play solo or team up with others in online co-op. The game blends simulation with real-time tactics, requiring you to set priorities and keep the bigger picture in view under pressure.

Who It's For

If you enjoy management and time-management games, or if you've ever wondered what it's like to be the calm voice on the other end of an emergency line, Dispatch Control offers a unique perspective. It's for players who like making decisions with limited information and juggling multiple tasks simultaneously.

The co-op mode also makes it a great choice for friends who want to tackle emergencies together.
