Description


 

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 where you play as a reformed bloodsucker helping other vampires find inner peace. 

Take on the role of Sam, a former rootin’, tootin’ Wild West gunslinger who escaped his day-to-day of murder and mayhem and realized, after a hundred years or so, that there’s a whole lot more to unlife than blood, lace, and leather. Dragging himself from the quagmire of the Old West, Sam teams up with a 3000-year-old vampire living in Europe that’s willing to show him the therapy ropes. 



Immerse yourself into this alternate world and meet your clients: self-hating vampires, agoraphobic social media addicts, supernatural narcissists, and victims of centuries-old capitalistic systems. You can’t fix the world, but maybe you can help other vampires accept it. 

That is, if you can accept yourself first. 

…Vampire Therapist, there's no way you don't want to know more about that—but the underlying concept looks genuinely interesting too. — PC Gamer 

Vampire Therapist from Little Bat Games is one of our most anticipated games of 2024. — Gayming Magazine 

…Vampire Therapist is shaking a lot of things up in one very elegant bag… — Rock, Paper, Shotgun 

Every single character was memorable, and the thought of even more quirky clients for Sam to treat is an exciting one. — GameRant 

 

 

  • Real Therapy Concepts: You’ll learn and apply real cognitive behavioral therapy concepts vetted by licensed therapists. By challenging client statements that contain “cognitive distortions”, you’ll help vampires see where their thoughts don’t match reality. 
     
  • A Comedic Look Through History: Meet emotionally damaged vampires from ancient Greece, Renaissance Italy, Tudor England, and the Bronze Age. 
     
  • An All-Star Voice Cast: Vampire Therapist is voiced by some of the best voice actors in the business, with Cyrus Nemati (Hades, Pyre), Francesca Meaux (Hades), Sarah Grayson (Gone Home, Hades II), Kylie Clark, and Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Baldur's Gate 3). 
     
  • Unique Setting: Vampire Therapist merges cozy self-introspection with a dark European goth vibe. In fact, the whole thing takes above a goth club in Germany filled with willing necks to bite. 
     
  • Minigames: Learn mindfulness meditation, safely and consensually bite sexy necks!

Vampire Therapist manages to make the rather dry concepts of cognitive behavioral therapy interesting by linking them to interesting characters. I like how the sessions develop and how the game adds new concepts and asks players to find the best ways to use them. The voice acting is good enough to paper over some small issues with the writing.

great read, hardly a game

Vampire Therapist is a bit of a tough sell. On the one hand, the writing and VO work are fantastic, the cast is endearing and the art is quite nice. On the other, the "gameplay" is linear, quite short (at 6-7 hours) and boils down to correctly identifying dysfunctions or clicking your way through two simplistic mini-games. If you want a well-constructed, thoughtful and oftentimes hilarious read, wait until it's on sale (15 bucks is a bit steep for what it offers). But if you're looking for involving gameplay or replay value I'd look elsewhere.

Wildest Game I ever played

I may have blitzed through it but the game is so fun I was ENGROSSED in it. It's both amazing and funny and no joke there were things that were not on my bingo card.

Fantastic game

This game had everything that I wanted in a VN, charming art style, engaging story, spectacular voice acting and just overall a lot of fun to me. The gameplay mechanics were solid and while there are some small mini games, they didn't feel intrusive and you did have the option to skip them if you wanted.
