Success stories like this don’t come around very often. According to the developers, Mecca Chameleon has now crossed 10 million copies sold in less than a month since launch.

In India, the game is available for around Rs 300 on Steam.
Also, at the time of writing this story, Mecca Chameleon has 89% positive reviews on Steam, proving that this game is being loved by gamers across the world.
If you’ve never heard of the game and are wondering why people are playing it so much, you are not alone. Think of it this way – Mecca Chameleon takes a game everyone has played at some point in life, hide-and-seek, and gives it a creative twist.
Gamers need to paint their stick-figure characters to match their surroundings, making it much harder for the opposing team to find them. The result is a game that is easy to learn, hilarious to play, and almost impossible to put down.
Its affordable price tag has also played a major role in its success. Unlike many modern games that cost a lot more, Mecca Chameleon has a very low barrier to entry. The game also runs on modest hardware, and with cloud support now available, even players with low-end PCs or eleven integrated GPUs can enjoy it.
In addition to this, the countless viral clips shared by streamers and content creators across YouTube and social media are hyping it all up even more.
