Little Bat Games is thrilled to announce its inaugural title, Vampire Therapist, is headed to Steam in June. Developers are offering players a truly unique game where they get to take on the role of Sam, a budding counselor willing to listen and offer advice to bloodsuckers throughout the ages. In a unique twist, the game employs the use of actual cognitive behavioral therapy concepts to advise vampires on how to deal with the psychological issues that arise from being ancient beings.
Developers want potential therapists to see the game in action and how the use of actual therapeutic techniques comes into play. As a result, the team released an all-new trailer to showcase some of the unique features found in the game.
Features include
- 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.
- Singular Voice Acting: Vampire Therapist is fully-voiced, with many characters played by a single actor (Cyrus Nemati, Hades’ Ares, Dionysus, and Theseus). It promises to be a singular experience.
- 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!
An interesting side note reveals that voice actor Cyrus Nemati takes on the role of Sam. Gamers may remember Nemati from his work in Hades and Pyre.
