Pepi Doctor 2.0
© 2020 Pepiplay
Like the first version of this app, released in 2003, this "weird but effective" experience is "designed to help children overcome their fear of doctors" as well as to gently remind them about things like washing hands and brushing teeth. There's no shortage of rotten teeth, infected ears and other comically gory illustrations, which keeps a child's interest. You play the doctor, and you have three patients (Amber, Eva and Milo). You pluck out splinters, give shots, clean infections and pull teeth; to earn smiles and other emotional rewards Content is limited; with the same five ailments per patient (a cold, scrapes from falling off a bike, a broken bone, an ear infection and an aching tooth). Content also includes 20 doctor's tools and no win or lose situations.
