Those hoping to get a taste of what Little Bat Games has in store with Vampire Therapist can do so now with the game’s demo available today as part of Steam Next Fest. Ahead of the game’s full launch on July 18, players can pick the brains of vampires with the demo until June 17.
Not only that, but in a new trailer, Little Bat Games has announced the game’s cast, which includes Hades 2 star Sarah Grayson, Francesca Meaux and Cyrus Nemati of Hades fame, Kylie Clark, and Baldur’s Gate 3’s Matthew Mercer.
Created in conjunction with licensed therapists, and taking the darkly humourous cues from What We Do in the Shadows, the horror works of Mel Brooks, Monty Python, and Horrible Histories, Vampire Therapist sees you take on the role of Sam, a former cowboy turned vampire who is looking for meaning in his own immortality. Luckily for Sam, there’s Andromachos, an undead reformed warrior and assassin who also happens to be a 3,000-year-old therapist.
Meanwhile, the demo for Vampire Therapist grants players an opportunity to check out the first few hours of gameplay, introducing Sam, Andramochos, and a myriad of other morose, misunderstood and melodramatic vampires along the way.
Throughout the game, you’ll be meeting up with a variety of clients: self-hating vampires, agoraphobic social media addicts, supernatural narcissists, and victims of centuries-old capitalistic systems. All of the techniques shown throughout Vampire Therapist have been created with the help and support of licensed therapists, to give the game an authentic message.
