For fans of the more casual side of gaming: just announced today is Spray Paint Simulator, one fans of PowerWash Simulator will probably also love and spend hours in. Coming to Steam sometime in 2025, it looks exactly like the chilled-out kind of thing I want.

Check out the reveal trailer:

From the developer: “Creating Spray Paint Simulator has been a rewarding experience for us,” says Nick Jefferson Tame, Lead Artist and Creative Director at North Star Video Games. “We value the process of transformation, both in the game and in life. There’s something deeply satisfying about taking something old and forgotten, preparing it, and giving it new life with a fresh coat of paint. It’s a stress-free achievement that brings pride and joy. In a world full of challenges, we wanted to offer a space where players can embrace creativity, find calm in the rhythm of the spray, and enjoy the simple pleasure of renewal.”

Features:

  • Tap into your inner Bob Ross in this easy, relaxing gameplay experience without time limits or complex gameplay mechanics. Gain access to an assortment of colors to paint; the final result is up to your artistic eye.
  • Grow your business and keep your clients happy in Story Mode by meeting the “unique” community of Splatterville, taking on tasks, and working to become the top painter in town!
  • Unlock Free Spray Mode, giving you access to the entire town to let your creativity run wild.
  • Get the full painting experience starting with prep work, such as fixing and removing objects, masking the area, selecting your paint, and painting each object to meet your customer’s expectations.
  • Manage your consumables, tools, and equipment by acquiring new items to suit each task, including spray tools, battery power, vehicles, paints, scaffolding, and more, and upgrade them to make your jobs run smoothly.

Hopefully it will work well with Proton for Steam Deck and Desktop Linux fans.

You can follow it on Steam.

Cute. I find it amusing that not only does this game exist, but that other things exist closely enough related that you can reasonably say "If you liked that, you might like this."

If it's anything like real life I'm afraid it's gonna be 95% masking tape simulator.

More like 99%. That would be awful.

Let's hope that they don't make it too realistic. I've seen people criticise PWS for not simulating dirty water running down and making everything else dirtier. It's good that such a mechanic isn't there; it would only make the game more tedious.

Anyhow… I'm not that happy that the release date is “sometime in 2025”. Remember MATCHO, the 3d match-3 game? Still not there.
