The game follows a group of crewmates which, among them, has An Impostor whose goal is sabotage their ship and kill everyone.
Among Us (also known in App Store as Among Us![1] and formerly known as Among Us 1) is an online multiplayer science-fiction/social deduction murder mystery game created by Innersloth that runs on the Unity Game Engine. It was released on June 15, 2018, on iOS, Android, and was later released on Steam on August 18, 2018, and on December 15, 2020 on the Nintendo Switch, which is available on the console's Nintendo eShop, and coming to Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in 2021.[2] The game is set on one of three locations - a spaceship, above-earth base or planet base which contains a group of crew members, among which are up to three Impostors who have to Sabotage the ship/base/planet and kill off the crew. Said Crewmates have to complete their chosen tasks, report bodies of other Crewmates who are killed, and initiate emergency meetings if they witness An Impostor doing something incriminating.
By 2020, Among Us was considered by Innersloth to be a complete game, and as of June 11, 2020, MIRA HQ and Polus, which were previously paid for, were released for free for players playing both on PC and iOS/Android to host. The game gained an increase in popularity in 2020 due to famous Twitch streamers and YouTubers playing it. A sequel, titled Among Us 2, was announced by Innersloth on August 18, 2020, and was scheduled to be available by 2021 but was canceled in September. Work will instead improve the original game due to the unexpected popularity of the original Among Us. Also, many forms of merchandise, such as T-shirts and toys, have been announced and launched.
Among Us takes place on a spaceship in outer space. There are two types of roles: The Impostors and the Crewmates. There can be a total of ten players in an online game, with up to three Impostors. The Impostors' objective is to eliminate players and Sabotage using either aggressive, defensive, or passive tactics before the Crewmates complete all of their tasks or discover everyone's true identity. The Crewmates' objective is to complete all of their tasks while figuring out who The Impostors are. All tasks are mainly visual and provide a fine user-friendly interface for players of all levels and ages.
