Tattoo Removal Simulator

Is a very simple and straightforward indie game, but it does exactly what it promises. I've spent about four hours in it, and it's a decent time-killer if you just want to turn off your brain and click a mouse. The gameplay loop is basic: you take a client, trace the tattoo with a laser, try not to burn them (I got the "Oops!" achievement pretty fast), and get paid. It is nice to see your balance grow for the "Pocket Change" achievement or getting 5 stars for "Star Treatment", though. Don't expect deep mechanics, complex management, or high-end graphics; it's a small, budget-friendly title that plays exactly like it looks. It definitely gets repetitive after a few hours, but there is still some mild satisfaction in erasing a bad tattoo cleanly to get the "Laser Precision" achievement without using hints. If you grab it on a discount and just need an uncomplicated background game while listening to a podcast or watching YouTube, it's alright, just don't expect a masterpiece or endless replayability.

saw an ad on reddit some while ago and decided to check this game out, I'm a diehard powerwashsimulator fan and this game looked pretty promising at first. game is pretty ok but there is no need in playing for more than a few hours: - the gameplay mechanics are more bothering than fun, especially the pain-level-meter is a stupid gimmick. whats the point of maxing out your lasers when your clients just end up crying all over again anyway? it feels more like a hassle than a relaxing experience when having to focus on the pain-meter more than anything else. - theres plenty of visual glitches when it comes to removing tattoos, especially on head-tattoos there are parts that are just non-removable even when marked; doesn't hinder you from progressing but still bothers me lol - you move REALLY slow when zoomed in; like R E A L L Y slow so instead of having a fun time you find yourself spamming tab and q to the point it feels like playing a damn MOBA (being able to "float" over the clients would be pretty nice ngl) - you get to remove the same tattoos over and over again until you purchase different studios, the second one offers you a few new clients but that's basically it, once you're done with your current clients in the second studio all you can do is go over the clients from the first studio over and over again until the second studio offers you new clients and the grind repeats over and over again - WHAT'S THE POINT OF PURCHASING NEW STUDIOS WHEN THEY CAN BE ON COOLDOWN??????? - last studio is set at 60k and i cba to waste even more time finishing clients off for 250-1000$ (with maxed out upgrades, mind you) in the first studio just to grind out the third studio to get new tattoos unloocked - VR mode seems to work (tested on quest 2) so there's that I guess overall ok-ish but wouldn't recommend at full price, given that you can get either PWS1 or 2 for the same price
