Vampire Therapist
Guide vampires through centuries of emotional baggage, decades of delusions and the odd bout of self-loathing with real cognitive behavioral therapy concepts and become a Vampire Therapist! Even vampires need a shoulder to cry on when a neck to bite just won’t do.

“The graphic is cute, and it is funny to see how old vampires deal with the same issues as humans. Devs really took time with it because the therapy sessions are amazing and relatable in many ways. It makes you think…”
“This is one of my favorite games ever. As an Anne Rice vampire aficionado and as someone who got a psych degree, it feels like it was perfectly tailored to my interests. The art and setting are masterfully done; the…”

“A+ voice acting, mini games could be better, could be a bit more lewd for a vampire game, but it's still really fun and well paced. The music is 80s underground, 10/10”

“Absolute fantastic game. Great writing, great lesson, great time spend. If you are looking to learn about psychology, about CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) then highly recommended. You will likely find out you have…”
“Intresting content until now. I've been able to learn a lot of psychology trough it and train some behavioral patterns that even me didn't recognize before the first try. The game itself is charming, with a lovely story…”

“I love the idea, and I really wanted to like this game. They clearly put in a ton of effort to do this the right way. There's just one problem: the main character. He's a one-dimensional stereotype of an American,…”
“Well that was excruciating. The first five minutes of this game made me feel uncomfortable and alienated, and then it alternated between boredom and discomfort from there. I finished because the game still managed to…”

“A great game and a way better way to learn about CBT than flashcards. That being said, it's a bit sloppy with some continuity issues (for example, Andy or Sam will state specific plans for Sam's night and then something…”

“Both the plot and the characters are just so- rich! Playing through the whole game takes only a couple of hours, but my head is buzzing with so many ideas and new perspectives. This game is a well-refined, fast-paced…”
“I was on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for a while, and I think it's pretty genius to have a game based on reframing. The core cognitive distortions featured in the game were ones I was already familiar with, so it was…”

“Pretty good. Very interesting concept. I lov the art style and the simple animations. As someone with a BG in Psychology though, I have a few issues with some of the psych. stuff; but they are so minor I don't even think about them when I'm playing the game. The theory and the…”

— a player, Steam review · 35 hrs played“This game genuinely rewired my brain and made me stop and think about the way I talk about and treat myself. Sure it's a bit goofy and over the top sometimes, but talking about mortality through the scope of vampirism and how it feels to watch the world change motivated me to go…”
