* I'm a voice actor (Hades 2, Duck Detective, lots more) and a writer (Vampire Therapist)
* I used to do DC technology policy communications stuff
* I'm a nerdpunk. Nerdlibertarians hate me.

Well, don't take my word for it!
Vampire Therapist is a great game. If you're having trouble explaining therapy to someone, this is also a great introduction. Really loved it, highly recommend.
no in fact it is exactly the right time to be playing Vampire Therapist because every time I get to a new "cognitive distortion" that my therapist taught me about (we just called them thinking traps) I point at the screen like:

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

I know I'm the vampire guy these days, but you know, in an age where the most amoral people on earth are striving for immortality and have a non-zero chance of achieving it, death is quite healthy, really.

The "trust" argument made me rage quit my last job. "Trust" that is given blindly is better known as "faith", and last I looked, the office wasn't a temple, and executives were not gods.
And if they are gods, I choose heresy.

I don't like to say "AI", as I find it a bit flat. What I like to call it is "the beast", but my spouse says nobody knows what I'm talking about what I call it that.
But what else should we call AI? I think "the beast" is appropriate. It's amoral, insatiable, and monstrous. What could fit better?

It's officially spooky season, but what if you want a little guidance to ease you into it? Like a therapist, maybe. Or a therapist who happens to bring their own holiday season flair by coincidentally being a vampire. But where in the indie game could we find something like a vampire therapist?

I searched for "white power" on X (don't call it Twitter — it's not Twitter), and damn. I've witnessed forum Nazis, Reddit Nazis, Gab Nazis, historical Nazis, etc. and by far, the X Nazis are far and away the stupidest I've ever seen.
Hot tip: invest in velcro shoe companies. It's bad out there.

I like to see a visual novel that stretches the definition of what a visual novel is. This one looks pretty cool!
Most of my fondest memories with adventure games involve sitting with my DS or Switch on cold fall/winter nights under a nice, warm blanket. Which is why I'm so glad we're releasing in November 🍂
I'm looking forward to playing our game that way soon, and we hope you are too!
