Liked the story, if there ever were a DLC expansion, or just a sequel, I'd buy it.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay for The Chameleon is at barebones a stealth game, and one inspired by Metal Gear Solid of all things.
35 of 152 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
There's neat dynamic lighting, a cool dithering effect on high pixelation, lots of moody coloured lighting, details all around, notes to read to enhance the setting, charming humorous touches.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The storytelling is small yet concise with some interesting (yet maybe predictable) twists, the gameplay pops out as something unique compared to it’s indie counterparts, the aesthetics and sound design are dripping with personality, and finally the game is just fun.
