The pitch is as bold as it sounds: you play a Wild West gunslinger-turned-vampire who becomes a therapist for other vampires, helping them unpack centuries of emotional baggage. It leans into dark comedy, but it also takes its therapy framing seriously and keeps the mechanics readable.

The console edition includes the game’s free updates plus the Couples Therapy DLC in the base package, with controller support tailored for console play.
