Meccha Chameleon Controls

Control basics

Good Hiders move less than they think. Controls are not just about speed; they are about stopping cleanly, facing the right direction, and not twitching when a Seeker is nearby.

If a keybind does not respond, check whether the game window has focus, whether Steam overlay is active, and whether another input device is overriding the expected control.

• Practice short movement instead of long repositioning.
• Check Steam Input before blaming the game.
• Use a simple keybind layout while learning.
• Retest input after changing any controller setting.

Keybind reference and controller checks

Most control issues trace to input focus, Steam Input overlay, or controller settings. Use this reference before changing game files or reinstalling.

• Keyboard: Default movement uses WASD. Paint and actions vary by stage — check in-game bindings first.
• QWERTY vs AZERTY: If your keyboard layout is non-QWERTY, the default keys may not match your physical position.
• Controller: Steam Input can override default controller mappings. Check Settings → Controller → Steam Input Per-Game Setting.
• Input focus: If the game does not respond, click the game window once before testing — focus loss is the most common false bug.
• Steam overlay: Shift+Tab opens the overlay. If controller stops working after overlay, restart the controller from Steam Big Picture mode.
• Keybind reset: If custom bindings cause confusion, reset to defaults before retesting.
