Project Chameleon

About Project Chameleon

Project Chameleon is a stealth-puzzle platformer developed by Anonymous King and released on March 31, 2026. You play as Siren, a spy who inherits a high-tech chameleon suit from her dead mentor, Viper. The game blends stealth mechanics with shape-shifting abilities, letting you transform into objects to avoid enemies. Set across global missions, it focuses on environmental interaction and gadget-based problem solving. With a focus on single-player action, it’s designed for PC and web browsers. The core hook is the suit’s holographic tech, which lets you merge with scenery. Think stealth gameplay meets strategic puzzle-solving, with a story centered on agency conspiracies and Siren’s rise as a top agent.

Gameplay

You control Siren in third-person, using the chameleon suit to turn into objects like trees, statues, or trash cans. Each mission requires avoiding guards, cameras, and patrols by timing your transformations and manipulating the environment. You’ll set traps like tripwires or deploy gadgets like smoke bombs to create diversions. Platforming segments add verticality, requiring precise jumps between ledges while remaining undetected. Missions often split into phases, like breaching a vault or escaping a compound, and reward replayability by letting you retry with different strategies. Controls are tight but demand patience; one misstep means respawning. The suit’s energy is limited, forcing you to plan routes carefully. Puzzle elements emerge in how you sequence actions, like using a disguise to access a restricted area then triggering a trap to eliminate a guard.

What Players Think

Project Chameleon holds a 4.7/5 on PlayPile, with 78% of players completing it. Average playtime is 14 hours, though 35% spend 20+ hours on side missions. Community moods are 45% relaxed, 30% focused, and 15% frustrated, many cite a steep learning curve early on. Critics praise the “clever integration of disguise mechanics” (GameSpot) but note repetitive enemy AI patterns. One user wrote, “The suit’s energy management makes every mission feel like a puzzle.” Achievement completion is 92%, with 80% earning the “Master of Disguise” trophy for using 50+ object transforms. The game’s price point of $29.99 is seen as fair, though 20% of reviews mention minor bugs in web-browser builds.

PlayPile's Take

Project Chameleon is a strong pick for stealth and puzzle fans who enjoy methodical planning. The shape-shifting mechanic is its standout feature, offering creative solutions to security systems. However, the rigid energy limits and occasional AI quirks can stall progress. With 14-hour average completion and 20+ hours for full mastery, it’s a mid-length game that rewards patience. The $30 price tag lines up with indie stealth titles, and the 78% completion rate suggests most players find satisfaction. Skip if you hate respawning or want fast-paced action, this is all about thinking ahead and blending in.

Storyline

Siren is a spy who works for an agency focused on terrorism and conspiracies. She discovers that Viper, her mentor, is dead and that he left her his chameleon suit, a suit that is only given to the agency's highest-ranking agents. Siren is then chosen to be the new chameleon agent, replacing Viper. The chameleon suit is capable of simulating advanced holograms allowing the user to blend into the environment, becoming one with the scenery.
