Free Story Update: Fathoms Below
Today we're releasing the last free story update exploring the history of Andromachos, our mentor and hot vampire stereotype.
What makes a vampire put meaningless murder behind them? What dark secrets can they learn when they don't need to breathe? And what was the deal with Sigmund Freud and his mother? Find out in this story update, and give an elder vampire an emotional release! I also fixed a bug where resolutions wouldn't save. I listen!!
Little Bat Games is a hyper-tiny studio, with one solo dev and a team of contract artists, editors, and support programmers. But we've been making waves here at the end of the year! We've picked up an Indie X Award for Best Game for a Better World and were in their top 5 games among all more than 600 submitted games. We picked up a German Developer Prize for Best Game Beyond Entertainment where we got to get all dressed up and do a speech.
And last week, we were added to the BAFTA Game Awards longlist in the Best Game Beyond Entertainment category. We're honored to be contending with big studios when it took us three tries to make curtains work properly! Your support is hugely helpful right now to give us visibility, so if Vampire Therapist affected you in some way, please share and help us build a groundswell... we still hope to make Vampire Therapist 2 if we can make our money back!
Don't forget to wishlist Vampire Therapist: Couples Therapy! Ring in 2025 by sorting out our collective resentment over wealth inequality and finding some peace in our relationships.
When the nights are long, this is the time for vampires to seek love. Maybe even cowboy vampires.
What else?! Well, if you want, you could go play Hades 2 (I'm back as Dionysus), and we've been consulting with Com8Com1 on Bloodshed for both writing and voiceover. One of the playable characters sounds like Sam might before he found his peace. It's a first person Vampire Survivors boomer shooter with snarky hero quips, just like the 90s used to make, out now in Early Access! Thank you for coming on this ride with us, and we'll see you cowpokes in 2025! Love, Cyrus and the Little Bat Games team

Vampire Therapist is a narrative adventure in the vein (get it) of What We Do in the Shadows, the horror works of Mel Brooks, Monty Python, and Horrible Histories where you play as a reformed bloodsucker helping other vampires find inner peace.
Take on the role of Sam, a former rootin’, tootin’ Wild West gunslinger who escaped his day-to-day of murder and mayhem and realized, after a hundred years or so, that there’s a whole lot more to unlife than blood, lace, and leather. Dragging himself from the quagmire of the Old West, Sam teams up with a 3000-year-old vampire living in Europe that’s willing to show him the therapy ropes.
Immerse yourself into this alternate world and meet your clients: self-hating vampires, agoraphobic social media addicts, supernatural narcissists, and victims of centuries-old capitalistic systems. You can’t fix the world, but maybe you can help other vampires accept it.
That is, if you can accept yourself first.
- Real Therapy Concepts: You’ll learn and apply real cognitive behavioral 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, Tudor England, and the Bronze Age.
- Singular Voice Acting: Vampire Therapist is fully-voiced, with many characters played by a single actor (Cyrus Nemati, Hades’ Ares, Dionysus, and Theseus). It promises to be a singular experience.
- Unique Setting: Vampire Therapist merges cozy self-introspection with a dark European goth vibe. In fact, the whole thing takes above a goth club in Germany filled with willing necks to bite.
- Minigames: Learn mindfulness meditation, safely and consensually bite sexy necks!
