About This Game

The Therapist is a dark, emotionally grounded narrative game about “running” therapy sessions. The player alternates between selecting pre-generated candidate reframes under time pressure to keep the client stable, and then—at the climax of each session—typing a personal final reframe without a timer. The quality of that typed response determines whether the player earns enough session success to progress to the true next chapter.
