Evaluation
The Chameleon launched on July 13, 2021 as a self-contained short stealth game. The store description describes it as a complete experience with no mention of planned updates or additional content. The only DLC ever released is a soundtrack that shipped two days after launch on July 15, 2021. There have been no post-launch content updates of any kind. By April 3, 2024, the developer had moved on entirely, publicly announcing a new project called "As Time Surrenders." This confirms the developer considers The Chameleon a finished product and has shifted focus elsewhere. The game shipped as a complete package and has remained unchanged since launch.

About this game
A short stealth game with super-powers, set in the 70s, filled with glorious fat pixels.
Transform into enemies, dash, slow time, and super-punch your way through this moody retro stealth game.
You wake up in a secret facility, with no recollection of why you are there, who you are or why you are wearing a Hawaiian shirt. Speakers are blaring an urgent message: evacuate. As you find your way out and sneak past the robotic security guards, you will uncover the secrets of this mysterious place.
