Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly love its simple painted hide-and-seek and recommend it for the price, but many warn about unreliable server joining and malware in workshop maps.

Most reviewers enjoy the core idea: a prop-hunt style game where you paint your character to blend into the room, and many say it is best played with friends in private lobbies. Players praise how quickly it becomes funny and tense, the creative workshop maps made by the community, and the low price. Complaints centre on the server browser and invite system, which often fail to bring friends into the same lobby, lobbies left empty or hosts leaving, crashes and disconnects, and clunky painting controls and menus. Some reviewers say public lobbies can be unpleasant, with cheating, abusive chat and players who expose hiding spots. Recent reviews raise a newer concern: several warn that some custom maps carry malware and urge others to avoid workshop maps, and a few say they will not buy until this is addressed. Steam's totals remain very positive.

Praised

  • Unique painting hide-and-seek

    Players enjoy the twist of painting your character to match surroundings, which turns hiding into a tense and funny challenge.

    Many players
  • Fun with friends

    Players say it is best in a group, where laughing at each other's bad paint jobs and failed hiding spots makes the sessions memorable.

    Many players
  • Low price, good value

    Reviewers repeatedly call it good value for a small price, saying it offers many hours of entertainment compared with other games.

    Many players
  • Community workshop maps

    Players value the custom maps made by the community, which add variety and replay value to the base game.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Server browser and invites

    Players say invites often fail and finding the same server as friends is slow and frustrating, sometimes taking many minutes.

    Many players
  • Crashes and connection problems

    Players report random disconnects, lobby kicks, players falling through maps and crashes that interrupt games.

    Many players
  • Clunky painting controls and menus

    Reviewers find the paint interface fiddly, the menus poorly designed and the controls hard to adjust, including the eyedropper and camera.

    Many players
  • Malware in custom maps

    Reviewers warn that some workshop maps contain malware or exploits that threaten PC security, and urge others to avoid them.

    Some players
Who it suits
Best for groups of friends who want a silly, creative party game and don't mind some technical rough edges.
Who should skip it
Players who want a stable, polished game for public lobbies, or who are wary of workshop maps, should wait for fixes.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 20 hours tend to raise more issues with public lobbies and workshop map safety, while newer players focus on the fun of the core game.
