The story
Guide vampires through centuries of emotional baggage, decades of delusions and the odd bout of self-loathing with real cognitive behavioral therapy concepts and become a Vampire Therapist! Even vampires need a shoulder to cry on when a neck to bite just won’t do.
What it’s like
Gothic dark comedy played mostly through conversation, with the mood carried by its dim, candlelit-sounding gothic setting and dry, deadpan humour rather than action. Sessions unfold as dialogue-led exchanges in which you listen, question and steer troubled undead clients through their long-buried grievances, so the rhythm is slow, reflective and wordy, with comedic beats landing against heavier emotional material. It leans on the psychological and the absurd more than on jump scares or combat, and the horror sits in the premise and tone rather than in any stated graphic content. The register moves between wry amusement and quiet melancholy, and the play suits an evening alone with headphones or a stretch of low-pressure time on a console or Linux machine. It is a good fit for people who enjoy talky, character-driven indie games, gothic humour, and the idea of a therapist's chair turned toward the monsters.
