About game
Stuck in a boring meeting or just waiting for your coffee to brew, you probably need a quick distraction to clear your head. Obby: Paint and Hide in the mall turns your screen into a chaotic game of high-stakes camouflage where staying still is your only path to victory. You start each round as either a hider or a seeker, forcing you to think on your feet in a massive shopping center environment. As a hider, you pick up colors from surfaces using your brush to blend into mannequins, walls, or shelves. The closer your outfit matches the background, the harder you are to spot by those roaming the aisles. Seekers must scour every corner of the mall, checking behind racks and near the fountain to catch elusive targets before the timer hits zero. Mastering the art of color matching makes Obby: Paint and Hide in the mall feel like a fresh take on classic hide and seek.

How to play
Each round randomly determines your role — Hiding or Searching.
If you're Hiding:
1) Aim at any wall, product or mannequin and press E — take their color in the brush.
2)Press LMB to color your clothes with this color (by body parts).
3) The more accurately your color matches your surroundings, the smaller the distance from which the seeker will notice you.
4) Find a secluded place (behind a shelf, a mannequin, a bench) and freeze. You can repaint the walls of the PCM if you need a different shade.
If you're a Seeker:
1) Go around the entire mall and find everyone hiding until the end of the timer (LMB to catch).
2) Once a round, you can watch an advertisement and get a hint — one of the hiding ones will light up through the walls for a few seconds.
3)Control (PC): WASD — movement, mouse — camera, Space — jump, Esc — release cursor, F1 — hide interface.
4)Controls (mobile): joystick on the left, brush/catch, pipette, roller and jump buttons on the right.
