“Among Us” is a multiplayer online game that blends elements of strategy, teamwork, and deception. Developed by InnerSloth, it was first released in 2018 and gained massive popularity in 2020. In the game, players are crew members on a spaceship, sky headquarters, or planetary base, working together to complete tasks and keep the ship functioning. However, hidden among the crew are impostors whose main goal is to sabotage the tasks and eliminate the crew members without being caught.
The game supports 4-15 players, and the core mechanics involve the crew members trying to complete their designated tasks while identifying and voting out the impostors. Communication is facilitated through meetings, which can be called by players when they suspect someone is an impostor or after discovering a dead body. “Among Us” thrives on the social interaction between players, requiring them to lie, deduce, and persuade others to survive and win. The game can be played across various platforms, including PC, mobile devices, and consoles, making it accessible to a wide audience.
