Ultimate Games and Little Bat Games have confirmed a release date for their BAFTA-nominated visual novel adventure Vampire Therapist on Nintendo Switch.
You will take on the role of a reformed Wild West gunslinger-slash-vampire, guiding your fellow undead spawn through the twists and turns of an immortal existence. The world may not accept them, but perhaps they can learn to accept themselves…
The game comes to the portable home console, complete with the base game, all free content updates and the Couples Therapy downloadable content, and has been revamped with improved controller support.
The developer has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Real Therapy Concepts: You’ll learn and apply real cognitive behavioural therapy concepts vetted by licensed therapists. By challenging client statements that contain “cognitive distortions”, you’ll help vampires see where their thoughts don’t match reality.
- A Comedic Look Through History: Meet emotionally damaged vampires from ancient Greece, Renaissance Italy, revolutionary France, Tudor England, and Iron Age Ireland.
- An All-Star Voice Cast: Featuring Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Baldur’s Gate 3), Francesca Meaux (Hades), Sarah Grayson (Gone Home, Hades II), Kylie Clark, and the game’s creator, Cyrus Nemati (Hades, Pyre).
- Unique Setting: Vampire Therapist merges cozy self-introspection with a dark European goth vibe. In fact, the whole thing takes place above a goth club in Germany filled with willing necks to bite.
- Minigames: Learn mindfulness meditation, safely and consensually bite sexy necks!
Vampire Therapist will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 17 February 2026.
