Have you played every level of Powerwash Simulator? Have you bought and flipped every home for sale in House Flipper? Do you have an insatiable need like I do for simulation games that scratch that specific, satisfying itch as you scrub, spray, or tile your way through a storyline? Well, I have news for you – Whitethorn Games and North Star Video Games have just revealed Spray Paint Simulator and it is glorious.
Bonus Action was given the opportunity to check out an early, unreleased demo of Spray Paint Simulator while attending PAX West 2024 this year, and it was the indie highlight of our trip. This simulator game has everything I could possibly want, allowing me to tape and paint to my heart’s content.
Spray Paint Simulator’s Processes Are Therapeutic
In the demo, we were transported to the town of Splatterville, where the drab decor is waiting for our creative vision. Our time was primarily spent repainting a vintage car and getting the hang of the mechanics.
Unlike in Powerwash Simulator, where players are dumped in a filthy area with everything they need to get moving, Spray Paint Simulator requires a bit more process.
Players will need to remove items from the object or area they plan to paint, mask areas that aren’t meant to be painted, and then set their paint system up to start applying color.
I loved that these steps were included, as it creates a sort of rhythm while playing that is meditative and relaxing. I covered up windows, headlights, and exhaust pipes, and then selected some beautiful red paint to apply.
The best part of the game, naturally, is watching as the brilliantly colored paint coats a dull surface. I thought watching water blow dirt off sidewalks was lovely – but watching paint dry is euphoric.
Paint Isn’t Just For Cars, Cabinets, and Walls
Players won’t just be painting cars or household objects as they work through Spray Paint Simulator. They can paint anything on the level that isn’t masked. Some jobs also require paint application to bridges and homes, with plenty of creative options available to make these structures pop.
Spray Paint Simulator will offer a Story Mode similar to House Flipper that takes players through the town of Splatterville. Additionally, there will be Free Spray Mode, which turns the entire town into a limitless landscape for self-expression.
We didn’t have a chance to try Free Spray Mode, but I know it is likely to be a favorite for players who enjoy a little chaos, and who might want to attempt their own murals on the buildings around the town.
Spray Paint Simulator does not currently have a release date, but simulator fans can check the game out and wishlist on Steam today. It is currently announced for PC.
