As we all know,I like vampire stories, and I likedifferent takes on vampire stories. Yesterday Edwin dangled an upcomingvisual novelcalledVampire Therapistin front of my nose. I am intrigued, also because I appreciate a Ronseal approach to titles. In Vampire Therapist, out onSteamthis June 17th, you play Sam, a vampire who becomes a therapist to other vampires. So the title works twice!
Even more pleasing: Sam is a fully voiced Old West cowboy, a former rooter and tooter who has discovered that “there’s a whole lot more to unlife than blood, lace, and leather.” IDK, seems fake. But no, it’s a strong concept. It makes sense that, given the number a human can accrue in just a few years, a vampire who has lived for centuries will have some really entrenched mental health problems. Although, how annoying, if you were a vampire, to discover that it doesn’t just, make, like, everything cool now? I think it’s a really great starting point as a non-standard vamp story.
Basically, Vampire Therapist is shaking a lot of things up in the one very elegant bag, here, and each of them is quite hard to do well on their own, let alone together. I don’t know enough - or anything - about the devs to be able to rubberstamp their ability in either direction. But I doreallylike the idea. The proof of the neck is in the biting. Which, again, will be this June 17th onSteam.
