"You are deserving of love, especially from yourself." says the 3000-year-old vampire man, as I sit on my sofa with tears in my eyes. This is a quote I didn't expect to affect me as much as it has, and it’s also not the kind of quote I'd expect from a vampire visual novel game set above a goth Leipzig night club where you play as a cowboy.
When I first heard of Vampire Therapist I knew it was a game I'd have to sink my teeth into. And boy howdy, was it worth getting my pointy little fangs on. Vampire Therapist is a new visual novel game made by Little Bat Games, and was inspired by the likes of What We Do in the Shadows, Monty Python and even Horrible Histories. You play as Sam Walls, a vampire cowboy who makes his way to Leipzig to become a therapist under the mentorship of a 3000-year-old vampire, Andromachos, or Andy, as our lovable cowpoke calls him. Under the roof of a goth night club, reminiscent of Nadja's for any What We Do In The Shadows fans, Sam is able to see clients with historic trauma and help vampires realize their true potential and find inner peace. In the process, Sam also learns more about himself and healthy ways to look at his past and future.
