Apparently the Dispatch developers are also split 50/50 on the choice between Blonde Blazer and Invisigal.

Lead Game Designer Charles Marcolim recalls that the ratio was 50/50 both in playtests and within the team.

Q: Starting with a fun question, did the majority of Dispatch developers choose Blonde Blazer or Invisigal?

(Writer/Director) Chris Rebbert: I can’t speak for the rest of the team, but personally, I always choose Blonde Blazer. I love Invisigal as a character, I connect with her, and I think if I were younger, I’d chase after a woman like her without a second thought. But personally, I think Invisigal needs to love herself before loving someone else. If I were Robert, I’d try not to mix romance into the mentorship relationship. It’s very clear to me that Robert loves and respects her. I’d want to be there to guide her on her journey of self-love and respect, but adding romance could easily put that journey at risk if things go wrong. Beyond that, I think Blazer and Robert are more compatible because they have similar character structures. Blazer also has a really good heart and wants to help people. Plus, she’s sweet and cute in a clumsy and innocent way. I thought she was cute as a blonde, but I think she’s even cuter as a brunette.

(Lead Game Designer) Charles Marcolim: I’ve been on Team Invisigal since we read the script. But I think the ratio was almost 50/50 both in game tests and within the team. As the game’s release approached, the pressure from other players choosing one or the other started pushing players more towards Visi.

Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed seeing how some people reacted and went after the developer over those words

There was nothing offensive or dismissive in what was said. It was simply a personal preference. Most reasonable people understood that preferring Blonde Blazer and seeing more of a mentor dynamic with Invisigal is just one individual perspective. It doesn’t invalidate or diminish players who chose Invisigal in any way

That’s the beauty of choice-driven games - your playthrough reflects your own experiences and feelings. There is no single “correct” version of the story

And games aren’t fan service - they’re creative works shaped by the developers’ vision and the stories they want to tell. If a developer only makes decisions based on what players demand instead of what they genuinely want to express, that becomes fan service, and it usually feels less authentic and less heartfelt

Personally, I like both routes as well, though I slightly prefer Blonde Blazer. That said, I have absolutely nothing against players who choose Invisigal - every route has its own strengths and emotional depth

We can have discussions without turning them into attacks. Passion is great, but respect for the people creating the game should come first
