MECCHA CHAMELEON: Paint to Hide, Strike to Seek

What is MECCHA CHAMELEON?

MECCHA CHAMELEON is a multiplayer hide-and-seek party game by solo Japanese developer lemorion_1224. Two teams face off: Seekers hunt, Hiders vanish. The twist is the hiding itself — your character is a blank white canvas, and you use an in-game palette to paint on your own body, copying the colors, patterns, and textures around you so a Seeker's eyes slide right past you.

It's the same instinct that makes real-life camouflage fun, turned into a competitive party game. You pick a spot, paint to match it, lock a pose, and pray your "art skills" fool the other team before the timer runs out. Matches are short, chaotic, and perfect for groups or streamer lobbies — invite viewers as Steam friends, up to 2–10 per match.

Known internationally as MECCHA CHAMELEON; in Korea as 메챠 카멜레온 (where the game held Steam's #2 concurrent-player slot at launch); in Japan as メカカメレオン. Common English misspellings include "mecha chameleon" and "mecca chameleon" — same game, same guides here.
