Vampire Therapist is a distinctive narrative adventure / visual novel that blends dark humor, historical drama, and real-world psychology as you play Sam Walls, a reformed Wild West gunslinger turned vampire-therapist helping other undead confront centuries of emotional baggage. The game creatively incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) concepts — developed with guidance from licensed therapists — into dialogue and decision-making, letting you guide your clients through distorted thinking patterns toward better self-awareness and peace. It’s equal parts introspective and whimsical, set above a gothic nightclub where vampiric clients from eras such as ancient Greece, Renaissance Italy, Tudor England, and the Bronze Age seek emotional healing.
While Vampire Therapist isn’t combat-heavy, it’s rich in storytelling, character depth, and atmosphere. The game features a talented voice cast including Matthew Mercer and Sarah Grayson, and balances mature themes like trauma and self-acceptance with comedic moments and quirky interactions. Optional minigames — like guided mindfulness sessions — add variety to the experience, while Steam achievements, cloud saves, and partial controller support round out its modern features. With overwhelmingly positive reviews, Vampire Therapist stands out as a thoughtful, unique indie title that combines entertainment with meaningful emotional insight.
