Among Us is an online multiplayer social deduction game, developed and published by
American game studio InnerSloth and released on June
15,
2018. The game takes place in a space-themed setting where players each take on one of two roles, most being Crewmates, and a predetermined number being Impostors. The goal for the Crewmates is to identify the Impostors, eliminate them, and complete tasks around the
map, and the Impostors' goal is to kill the Crewmates without being identified.
While initially released in
2018 to little mainstream attention, it received an influx of popularity in
2020 due to many well-known Twitch streamers and YouTubers playing it. In response to the game's popularity, a sequel, Among Us 2, was announced in
2020.
In Among Us there are 12 colours/colors that players may choose. If you choose to play with your friends then prepare for them to not trust you.
