Nov. 2024

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.

Honestly? I wish I played this game during my Intro to Psych and Neuroscience. It probably would've been a bit better of a help in crystallising certain concepts for me than the lectures and readings. The Camarilla needs to get their shit together.

So I heard about this game and knew it would be up my alley being an IRL therapist (not a CBT one, but still) and, yeah, I really enjoy playing it. What's really nice is since I do stream is also talking about some of the differences that CBT does and how I would do things as a relational-cultural therapist that does a lot of trauma and narrative work. So there's some moments I don't choose the correct fallacy because that's not part of my therapy but it's still great. Going to enjoy finishing this game. My only downside is 100% a me thing.... I don't know how to manually save.

target audience reached, it's me, i'm the target audience, an experience that somehow strikes a balance between silly vampire antics and painfully relatable humanity. i cackled, i cried, i will be thinking about this game for months if not years this cast of characters has it all. a former outlaw who deep down is just a horse girl, two goths looking for a third, a misanthrope twitch streamer, that one theater kid who peaked in high school, a scientist trying to invent vampire veganism, a priest who listens to metal, the scariest art teacher you will ever meet,, the first visual novel i've played that feels worthy of being called a novel in terms of narrative depth, yknow? you really get to dive into the life story of each of the four clients just stellar voice acting, especially in moments of Big Feelings. please give them all the awards immediately engages with therapeutic concepts in way that's both accessible and meaningful. i learned things as a therapy veteran but people without prior experience could also jump right in. genuinely, unironically, it is so helpful to practice untangling cognitive distortions in this gamified way the sound design is the cherry on top. the vibe is: you are gently talking someone through their existential crisis while a fireplace crackles in the background, and at the same time, you can hear the ABBA remix they're blasting at the club downstairs mind the content warnings, things do get heavy, but generally: PLEASE PLAY THIS GAME i desperately need there to be a vampire therapist 2

Haven't completed the game yet (I'm about to see my third client for the second time), but I feel already compelled to leave a positive review because, so far, the game really deserves it. This looks like "Dream Daddy", but it definitely plays more like "Ace Attorney". It's not a dating game, you are a therapist and as such you are here to help your clients with their psychological problems, not to get in their pants. That doesn't mean the game doesn't shy away from discussing sex (on the contrary, it does that A LOT), but it has nothing to do with your goal. Like I said, it's a lot like "Ace Attorney". Instead of going through crime scenes and throwing evidence into your opponents' faces at court, you learn new cognitive distortions like "Labeling", "Overgeneralization", etc. and throw THOSE into your clients' faces when you catch them coming up during your therapy sessions. For the first 3-4 hours or so, the game gives you a fixed set of those distortions to work with. In later sessions, you get to pick your own set of 5 cognitive distortions so that it's possible for the player to focus on the ones that fit the client (by the second therapy session, you already have a good idea what each of them is wrestling with). The gameplay is simple, and like with "Ace Attorney", there's no real way to "fail" the game. If you get it wrong, you just try again, it's not possible to "mislead" a client. Which is GOOD in my opinion, I mean, it's also not possible to actually "mess up" the cases in "Ace Attorney" either and no one is really complaining about THAT one (I really prefer the developers of these games to focus on enhancing the story, not develop bullshit "what if" scenarios which only serve to make you feel bad about messing up as a lawyer/therapist/[insert profession]). There are achievements for getting streaks of right assessments without making mistakes, that's nice. I somehow went through the first three sessions without a single mistake, seeing those achievements pop up felt pretty nice though I know it's just a bonus and the game wouldn't torture me for picking the wrong answer. The voice acting is absolutely superb and makes me actually take my time and listen to the full dialogue. That's a big accomplishment, usually I tend to just read and quickly click forward in VNs. The protagonist, his mentor, the clients, etc. - everyone sounds great and speak in a distinctive and interesting way that make you want to keep listening to them. Sam especially really grew on me. Speaking of Sam, he's QUITE the surprise! Reading about a game like "Vampire Therapist", you wouldn't expect your protagonist to end up being a freaking COWBOY VAMPIRE, sitting in LEIPZIP, doing THERAPY. But yet, here we are. And you know what? ALL of it makes sense. I kid you not! It really doesn't take long for the game to accept that this IS a thing and that Sam is not only a legit therapist, but to make the player curios about his story. Listening to him, you'd think that he's quite the simple guy, but, of course, like with his clients, there's more to him than meets the eye. Really dig that! The two German goths feel a bit like a hate crime at first (haha), but a) they already started to grew on me (ok, listening to IT people talk about their SQL problems in a heavy German accent IS kinda funny) and b) the developer is also German, so they'll get a free-pass. For anyone trying out the demo: I urge you to play at least the first therapy session before you make your judgment. The intro into the game is just a little wild, but once the therapy work starts, it really takes off! If you'll excuse me, I have to get back into my coffin for mortals called bed, getting some rest so that I can keep playing this jewel in the morning.
