About the Game
In Vampire Therapist, you are Sam — a recently turned vampire navigating unlife at a centuries-old gathering of the undead. But instead of hunting humans, you're hunting for the root causes of your clients' emotional distress.
Using real-world therapeutic techniques like cognitive distortions and active listening, you'll help a cast of vampires spanning hundreds of years confront grief, identity, trauma, and more — while untangling the mystery of your own turning.
DLC — Couples Therapy
In the Couples Therapy expansion, take your skills to the next level by mediating between pairs of vampires entangled in centuries-old relationship conflicts. Navigate the complicated dynamics of immortal love, resentment, and codependency as you help couples confront what's really driving them apart — or keeping them together.
