Update log
Unofficial guide hub launched
Initial pages cover Steam release facts, basic rules, hider and seeker starter tips, room setup notes, system requirements, and source checks.
Steam release and launch patches
MECCHA CHAMELEON launched on Steam. Community news listed early bug fix posts, including version checks for multiplayer compatibility.
What this page tracks
This page tracks changes that affect players: release status, bug fixes, multiplayer version compatibility, store-page changes, system requirement updates, and new guide pages that answer real gameplay questions.
Launch-window updates are especially important for MECCHA CHAMELEON because public rooms and private sessions depend on compatible versions. If a patch changes room behavior, seeker tools, hider movement, painting, or lobby stability, it should be reflected here and linked to the relevant guide.
Patch categories to watch
The most important changes for this site are the ones that alter player decisions. A matchmaking or version fix belongs with the multiplayer guide. A change to visibility, movement, painting, or posing should trigger a review of both the Hider guide and Seeker guide. Store metadata, price, or platform updates belong on the release page.
Small typo fixes on Steam are not important enough for a public entry unless they correct a player-facing fact. The log should help readers decide whether they need to update, replay, or reread a guide page.
What does not belong here
This page should not list unverified rumors, private Discord claims, or every minor copy edit on the site. If a change does not alter what a player can do next, it can stay out of the public log.
How guide updates should be handled
When a patch changes multiplayer behavior, the multiplayer page should be updated first. When a patch changes visibility, hiding, movement, or room scanning, the Hider and Seeker pages should be checked together. That keeps the public log short while still sending readers to the page that can help them most.
If the community discovers a common troubleshooting issue, it should become a guide section only after the cause is reasonably clear. A short verified fix is more useful than a long list of guesses.
How to verify a fresh update
Start with the Steam news item, then confirm whether the in-game behavior has changed in a normal room. For multiplayer fixes, test with at least two players on the same version before changing the guide. For strategy changes, compare both sides of the round: what a Hider sees while choosing a disguise and what a Seeker sees while scanning the room.
Guide revision notes
When this site changes because of a patch, the update entry should name the affected page and the practical reason for the edit. For example, a room compatibility fix should mention hosting or joining rooms, while a visibility adjustment should mention hiding, seeking, or readable stage clues. Readers should not need to guess why the guide changed.
Older entries can stay short. The goal is not to archive every sentence edit, but to preserve enough context that returning players know which advice may have changed since their last session.
