Get ready to take on the role of a vampire therapist and forget everything you know about therapy games. Developed in collaboration with licensed therapists, this upcoming title from Little Bat Games has everything you could possibly want.
Update 18/07/24: Vampire Therapist is out right now! Dive into Little Bat Games’ unique narrative adventure and become a vampire therapist, navigating the minds of immortal beings with real therapy techniques in a darkly comic and immersive visual novel experience.
More than just your typical run-of-the-mill game, Vampire Therapist takes players on a journey into the world of therapy, but with a twist – your clients are vampires from various historical epochs. Picture yourself as the therapist tasked with unravelling the minds of these immortal beings, set against a backdrop that seamlessly blends the allure of the European goth club scene with the intellectual charm of dark academia.
Exploring the World of Vampire Therapist
Vampire Therapist blends the narrative experience of a visual novel with dark comedy and is essentially a self-discovery experience wrapped in a supernatural package. Besides the incredible art style, there’s a boatload of writing and characters that will leave you wanting more. To quote the game’s Steam Page, “Vampire Therapist is a narrative adventure in the vein (get it) of What We Do in the Shadows, the horror works of Mel Brooks, Monty Python, and Horrible Histories.”
At its core, Vampire Therapist offers more than just entertainment – it provides a unique opportunity to explore the world of therapy in a gaming context. Set against the backdrop of a darkly comedic narrative, players are thrust into the role of a therapist tasked with counselling vampires from various points in history. But this isn’t your typical therapy session; it’s a journey of self-discovery and exploration.
Throughout the game, players will engage in therapy sessions with their vampire clients, using real therapy techniques to navigate through their minds and uncover their deepest thoughts and feelings.
Features to Sink Your Teeth Into – TL;DR
Vampire Therapist offers a darkly comic visual novel experience, immersing players in a narrative world filled with intrigue and humour. You’ll engage with strong characters pulled from the pages of history with consultation from esteemed historians.
But Vampire Therapist isn’t your run-of-the-mill visual novel — it’s about delving into the mechanics of applied therapy. You’ll challenge characters’ worldviews by identifying and addressing their cognitive distortions.
As the journey unfolds, players will embark on a personal journey of self-discovery, growing their gameplay toolkit and learning real therapy techniques that enhance their ability to connect with and understand their vampire clients.
