Paint yourself. Freeze. Hope they walk past.
You are a small blank doll in a room full of colour. The seekers are on their way, and the only thing standing between you and a finger pointed at your head is the paint you put on your own body.
Every round is three moments.
Prepare. Grab a colour and paint yourself — panel by panel, or the whole doll at once. A palette of 48 shades is always at hand, and the eyedropper lifts the exact colour off a wall, a chair, a crate or the floor right beside you. Pick a pose — stand, sit, or curl into a ball — and squeeze in wherever a tall doll would never fit. Lock your body when you like the spot, so a nudge can't ruin it.
Hide. The seekers spread out and start searching. They look along their line of sight, get suspicious of anything that stands out, and close in to be sure. A good colour match buys you seconds of doubt. A bad one gets you caught standing in plain sight.
The result. Survive and you earn up to three stars — for how well your colour matched the place you chose, not just for hanging on. Get caught and the round starts over instantly, so you can go straight back in with a better idea.
Or turn it around and be the one searching. Choose to play as the seeker, wait while the hiders paint and tuck themselves away, then go find them. Walk up, look closely, and mark every doll you spot before the clock runs out. Clever hiders match the wall exactly and pick the darkest corner — careless ones give themselves away with the wrong shade.
Five places to disappear in.
The Back Office — yellow wallpaper, damp carpet and nowhere dark to stand.
Kindergarten — pastel walls, toy boxes and low furniture made for curling up behind.
The Hotel — soft rooms, warm colours, and corners a guest would never look into.
Old Tokyo Street — plaster walls, benches and paper lanterns on a quiet old street.
Miners' Camp — ore carts, rails and a campfire; hide among the day's haul.
Set the game to your taste. Choose how many seekers come after you, how sharp they are, and how long you get to paint before the hunt begins — from a quick scramble to a long, careful disguise. Sound, music and camera settings are all there too, and everything is saved for the next time you play.
Made to be played on your own. No account, no lobby, no waiting for anyone. Pick a place, paint yourself, and hold still.
