It’s Time to Talk Day (February 5th). This is a day that encourages you to talk about your mental health. If you’re not ready to talk to a therapist or the people in your life, most of these cozy talking games will offer you a connection in some way.

One of them really takes to heart expressing yourself and what ails you in a safe, anonymous environment. Another offers you a connection while you hang out or body double with others in an effort to get work done. And, the last is a solo game in the form of a visual novel about taking on the role of a therapist, where you may learn some coping tools of your own.

The varying degrees of communication should help most people bond at the level they’re ready for right now.

We do our best not to highlight games that use Generative AI at any level of development or marketing. At the time of posting, these games have not reported or disclosed using Gen AI. Likewise, all articles are written and edited by humans… as evidenced by our occasional errors.

Vampire Therapist

Vampire Therapist may look like a regular run-of-the-mill visual novel, but it’s far more than just an interesting storyline with lovable characters. It’s designed to help you recognize and deconstruct cognitive distortions. This is an especially powerful tool for those of us who tend to have a more negative viewpoint. Cognitive distortions are irrational thoughts that can impact the way you view the world around you. By being able to name and challenge these thoughts, it can help lead to a more positive outlook.
