Little Bat Games, in collaboration with publisher Ultimate Games S.A., has officially announced that the BAFTA-nominated visual novel Vampire Therapist will debut on Nintendo Switch.
The upcoming release is set for February 17, 2026, marking a major milestone as the critically acclaimed title arrives on Nintendo’s versatile console. Vampire Therapist originally made waves on PC platforms, where it garnered praise for its innovative blend of engaging narrative, cutting-edge game design, and authentic portrayal of therapy concepts.
The Nintendo Switch version will arrive fully loaded with the base game, all free content updates, and the Couples Therapy DLC included from day one.
In addition, Little Bat Games has confirmed enhanced controller support and an interface refined specifically for console players, ensuring that both handheld and docked Switch users can immerse themselves comfortably in the game’s unique gothic atmosphere. In Vampire Therapist, players assume the role of a former Wild West gunslinger newly transformed into a vampire.
Tasked with guiding fellow immortals through their emotional struggles, players engage in branching conversations and decision-making grounded in real-world cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) methods.
According to Little Bat Games, all therapy content has been reviewed by licensed professionals to ensure accuracy and respect for the complexities of mental health. The narrative’s distinctiveness lies in its comedic exploration of undead clients from across world history.
Players will encounter vampires hailing from eras such as ancient Greece, Renaissance Italy, revolutionary France, Tudor England, and Iron Age Ireland—each bringing their own eccentricities and personalities to the therapist’s couch.
This blend of humor and introspection sets Vampire Therapist apart within the visual novel genre. The game also features a star-studded voice cast, including Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Baldur’s Gate 3), Francesca Meaux (Hades), Sarah Grayson (Gone Home, Hades II), Kylie Clark, and Cyrus Nemati, the game’s creator whose credits include work on Hades and Pyre.
Their performances contribute depth and authenticity to the eclectic cast of characters. Players can further look forward to a variety of minigames, from mindfulness meditation exercises to lighthearted scenarios involving the game’s supernatural themes—all set in a shadowy European locale above a bustling goth club in Germany.
With its unique blend of cozy self-reflection and dark humor, Vampire Therapist aims to offer Nintendo Switch owners an experience quite unlike any other available on the platform. Vampire Therapist will be available via the Nintendo eShop beginning February 17, 2026, offering both returning fans and new players the chance to explore the art of therapy—and vampirism—in this critically lauded interactive adventure.
