The graphic is cute, and it is funny to see how old vampires deal with the same issues as humans. Devs really took time with it because the therapy sessions are amazing and relatable in many ways. It makes you think about your own "baggage" in a way.
Vampire Therapist is so wholesome, and it really feels like professional therapists consulted in it. I like the mechanics of applying various cognitive dissonances, and even the cowboy experience of Sam's. His own story and grief was very touching to me on a personal level. The clients are all so interesting. My favorite is senora Isabella. I'm incredibly impressed that the creator researched so much about her to put into this game.
Absolute fantastic game. Great writing, great lesson, great time spend. If you are looking to learn about psychology, about CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) then highly recommended. You will likely find out you have some problem as well, which is because no one is perfect, and that's fine. This game is not for those who wish to find victory or battle. There is no winner. This game is for those who wish to learn more about human, themselves and other
