Hide-and-seek game where you paint your body sells a million copies

Meccha Chameleon turns hide-and-seek into a paint job: you begin as a featureless, white, blobby biped and use a color wheel to paint your body and blend into your surroundings. The game sold a million copies in four days, a figure the developer, lemorion_1224, marked in a Steam community blog post with the message "Thank you so much for playing!" Players split into seeker and hider teams, with seekers winning if they find everyone before time runs out.

The trailer highlights some clever techniques, from mimicking the shadow on an exit sign to clinging to a brick wall and attempting to replicate its coloring. The Steam page notes support for public matches and streaming, and it lists a "required" guideline urging streamers to include the game's name in their livestream titles.

The title has been popular with streamers and YouTubers, and searches turn up thumbnails full of garish colors and shocked expressions.
