With Meccha Chameleon’s straightforward gameplay and widespread appeal, it was inevitable that similar games would start emerging. One such title is Scribble Hunt, which not only mirrors Meccha Chameleon’s core mechanics and UI components but also adopts the same title in its Korean version (source: INVEN).
Although Scribble Hunt includes some original elements, its overall design—including 3D assets, gameplay, and UI—is remarkably similar to Meccha Chameleon.
To add variety, Scribble Hunt introduces a gameplay twist where hiders can transform into objects to blend into the environment, akin to prop hide-and-seek games. Hunters are equipped with multiple weapons, such as an assault rifle and a splat bomb. Additionally, hunters gain infrared vision during the last 30 seconds of a match, revealing all hiders on the map. The game also offers cosmetic items like skins, dance emotes, and taunts for players to customize their experience.
While Scribble Hunt’s Korean title “메챠 카멜레온” directly translates to “Meccha Chameleon,” the game uses different names in other languages. Its Simplified and Traditional Chinese versions, “超级变色龙” and “超級變色龍,” mean “Super Chameleon.” The Japanese title, “お絵描きかくれんぼ (Oekaki Kakurenbo),” roughly translates to “Drawing Hide-and-Seek.” Given that the game is mainly marketed as “Scribble Hunt” (all translations share the same Steam promotional image), the Korean title being “Meccha Chameleon” is an odd choice, potentially hinting at legal complications.
Meccha Chameleon is available for Windows (Steam).
