Meccha Chameleon, the multiplayer hide-and-seek game that went viral on Steam, surpassed 10 million copies sold three weeks after its June 9 launch, according to PC Gamer. At $5.99 per copy, the title has accumulated approximately $60 million in revenue.
What makes the numbers even more striking is the speed of development. In an interview with Japanese publication GameWith, the two independent creators revealed the game was developed in just two months, putting revenue at roughly $1 million per day of work.
Meccha Chameleon sits atop Steam's best-sellers list. The concept is straightforward: players alternate between hiding by painting their bodies to blend with the environment and seeking others. The game earned a "Very Positive" rating with over 18,000 user reviews, as reported by Pure Xbox.
For now, the developers remain tight-lipped about a potential Xbox version. The title's success reinforces the trend of low-cost indie games generating record revenues in the PC market.
