This game teaches you basic cognitive behavioral therapy skills and is sharply written and relevant to today. I'm better at recognizing my own cognitive distortions having played this. Well worth the time.

It helped me a lot during my mental health struggles. It teaches you CBT in a gaming manner and is easy to understand. I also very much like the plot. I'm not great at writing reviews but I enjoyed playing this a lot and credit it partly to my healing process. I did get professional help on the side and would recommend doing explicitly that if you have mental health struggles, this game is not a fix for mental health problems but it does help you understanding how mental distortions work.

Played this game with my husband for a date night, and it honestly has been surprisingly great for our relationship? We originally picked it up just because it seemed silly, but it actually describes CBT concepts really well and in a way that is easy to follow. Both of us were able to recognize what cognitive distortions we tend to use in our day-to-day by which ones we struggled to recognize in game. He struggled with emotional reasoning and personalization, while I struggled with black-and-white thinking and discounting the positive. This led to an actually deep and meaningful conversations on areas we could grow and how these distortions affect our relationship????? Came for Vampires. Stayed for the Therapy.

Came for the absurd concept, stayed for the phenomenal voice acting and heartfelt story. I am going back to therapy because of this game and I mean that in a good way.

Vampire Therapist is a cleverly written, engaging, dare I say fang-tastic visual novel about helping vampires overcome their emotional hang-ups. The approach is humorous and witty, blending real life cognitive therapy elements into the narrative. It does not shy away from real life sensitive issues but treats them with respect and a touch of dark humour. The Story You play as Sam, a cowboy from the Wild West. Sam himself is a vampire, but tired of the blood-thirsty existence that comes with being an immortal dead and he craves a more positive way to live his life and travels to Germany where he meets the ancient vampire named Andromachos or Andy for short. Andy takes on Sam as a therapist-in-training. So your clients are obviously vampires. You meet many interesting and unique characters, well fleshed out and written who go through their own personal arcs as they proceed through therapy. The cast of characters range from historical figures to modern day streamers. The game at times is quite humorous and does not shy away from sexual humour and playful dark banter. One part I had a good laugh at is how Andy described Marcus Aurelius (the Roman Emperor), as Marky. Marky being his “bedroom name”. The roasts in this game are epic…”If I cannot consume high-quality blood, I might as well drink blood from Florida”. Gameplay & Features Settings include screen mode, resolution options, graphic options, text options and audio controls. * In order to save you have to hit ESC and then save. Also there is no rewind feature so you are stuck with the choices you make (save often)! However there is a way to view a history log, press L to see the dialogue in text form. As you play the game you will be presented with choices like most visual novels. However this one mixes the fun of vampires and actual well-researched classic cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) elements into the gameplay. As a therapist-in-training you will talk with people, construct a treatment plan and evaluate their progress. There are four main clients you will interact with. Dr. Drayne, Isabella d’Este, Edmund and Meddy. As you treat and talk to them you will uncover cognitive distortions (they appear as choices on the bottom of the screen) that become choices you can make to move the story forward in the right direction. There are no real wrong answers as Andy will cut in if you chose wrong and urge you to try again. There are some mini games. One is drinking blood (just match your cursor or “fangs” over the vein in the person's neck and a meditation mini-game. They are included to mix things up and while the vein mini-game is fun I really did not enjoy the meditation game, I found the floating text to be not as responsive as I would have liked. The Visuals & Audio All the characters in the novel are not only voiced but voiced by some really great talent. Talent that makes the vampires come to life . It is also developed by a talented voice actor, Cyrus Nemati who is known for his roles in the super popular game Hades (he voices Ares, Dionysus and Theseus). Amongst other greats such as Kit Chen, Kylie Clark, Sarah Grayson, Francesca Meaux and Matthew Mercer. Visually the game is great to look at. Unique characters with all their own styles. Hand drawn and vibrant. I need to shout out the artists that contributed; Ruth Bosch, Kim Schumacher, Sibylle Hell, Barbara Langa & Darcy Grimm. One of the things I love the most in visual novel games is CG’s (computer graphics) or as I call them Special Moments artworks. Sadly this game does not have any which is such a shame. The artwork is so well crafted that I would have loved to see some special arts of the main characters. Overall Experience This game despite being highly unique and full of dark humour is really one that leaves you thinking. The concepts of cognitive behavioural therapy can benefit us all. We all are inclined to indulge in one or more of the cognitive distortions presented. It is a novel that makes you think, feel and realize maybe we are too harsh on ourselves at times, harsh on others or our view on the world as a whole. Keep in mind this game is not influenced by the choices you make and you, realistically, can not fail which could be seen as a negative if the game was going for more of a darker twist. If you ended up not bettering a client but the opposite. But that would change the dynamic of the story and I think the whole point of this game is to teach, enlighten and entertain while keeping it overall in a positive place. I will be honest, those looking to just be purely entertained will not find this game engaging. It is a game that takes the therapist aspect more seriously than maybe it should, especially in the second half of the game where the concepts of CBT get more complex. Each client has 3 sessions each, so before each section more concepts are added, honestly making the game at times feel more like studying by having to keep referencing the in-game journal, than fun. So this game will be for some and not so much for others. I enjoyed my time with the novel. I do wish there was a bit more choice & consequence and maybe pulling back on the clinical terms and elements. 🩸 Please follow our curator page, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/4680120/]Otome Lovers , if you'd like to see more reviews like this one!
