Meccha Chameleon, the viral indie hide-and-seek title, has surpassed 10 million copies sold just 16 days after its release on June 10th. Developers Lemorion_1224 and Haganerio announced the milestone via a brief Steam update, expressing gratitude for player support.
The game challenges players to use in-game paint tools to blend into their surroundings, evading others who are tasked with finding them. Its rapid ascent in popularity has been largely attributed to word-of-mouth recommendations and the engaging content shared by streamers and players online.
Meccha Chameleon joins a recent trend of successful social co-op games, following in the footsteps of titles such as Lethal Company and Among Us. The game is available at a significantly lower price point compared to many AAA releases, currently retailing for £5.29.
Following the sale of seven million copies, the developers had previously introduced a Japan-themed map. However, a recent update, version 1.8.1, was rolled back on the day of its release due to a reported bug.
