About the Game

YOU ARE THE DISPATCHER

Calls are coming in. The city needs help. You have seconds to decide.

Signal Zero puts you behind the emergency dispatch console — a one-person
operation managing police, fire, and EMS units across a city that never stops
demanding your attention.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Incidents appear on your board with a countdown timer
  • Route the right unit — send the wrong one and you'll pay for it
  • Units take time to travel — a closer unit arrives faster
  • Let calls escalate and they get harder to resolve
  • Reputation hits zero and your shift is over

BUILD YOUR DISPATCH CENTER

Earn budget on every resolved call. Spend it on additional units and upgrades
to handle more simultaneous emergencies as shifts get harder.

60 UNIQUE INCIDENTS

From bar fights to cardiac arrests to swift-water rescues — some calls are
obvious, some will trick you. A child locked in a hot car isn't a police call.
A psychiatric crisis isn't always EMS. Learn the city.

FEATURES

  • Tense single-player dispatch gameplay
  • 3 unit types — police, fire, EMS — each with unique incidents
  • Distance-based response times reward smart unit placement
  • Escalating priority system — ignore a call and it gets worse
  • Shift progression across 10 increasingly difficult shifts
  • Scanner radio atmosphere
  • Minimalist dispatch-console aesthetic
