What is MECCHA CHAMELEON?
MECCHA CHAMELEON is a multiplayer hide-and-seek game where you paint your white body to mimic the stage. Split into Seeker and Hider teams — Hiders blend in, Seekers find them. Released June 9, 2026 on Steam for $5.99.
How to Play as Hider
- Find a good spot — Look for areas with distinctive colors and shapes.
- Sample colors — Use the paint tool to pick up colors from nearby surfaces.
- Paint yourself — Apply the sampled colors to your body to match the environment.
- Pose correctly — Crouch or adjust your pose to match the shape of objects nearby.
- Stay still — Movement breaks camouflage. Only move when the Seeker isn\'t looking.
How to Play as Seeker

- Look for imperfections — Slightly wrong colors, unusual shapes, or out-of-place objects.
- Check common spots — Learn the popular hiding spots on each map.
