Among Us is one of the games of the moment, but you will be surprised to know that it is not a new title. It appeared in 2018 as one of the many free games of the time, but it went unnoticed until now.
What is it about this game that has become one of the most popular titles on Twitch? And why Among Us trending on YouTube? We tell you all the details.
Among Us, what is it about
Among Us is a multiplayer game from Innersloth, which presents you as a setting a damaged spaceship with a group of people on board. However, two crew members are infiltrators.
So the "good guys" will have to do everything possible to discover the enemies, and the infiltrators will have to kill the crew without being discovered.
In this game from 4 to 10 people can participate. And of course, the more people participate, the more complex the dynamics of the game become.
How are the infiltrators chosen? At the beginning of the game, two of the participants are randomly assigned the role of infiltrators, without the rest knowing.
So from the beginning suspicions, plots and lies begin to stay as long as possible in the spaceship, without being discovered or killed.
How to play Among Us
We have already described the main plot and objective of the game, depending on the role you play: discover the impostors and kill the crew. However, there is much more you will need to do to stay on the spaceship.
- Complete missions The spaceship has different rooms with a series of missions to complete. So each crew member will have to comply with them and with all the tasks assigned to them. Infiltrators can choose these tasks to disguise being the good guys, or sabotage the ship to cause chaos and buy more time.
- Map. Both the "good guys" and imposters can use the map to move around the ship. This will not only help you find the quests, but will also help you plan an escape.
- Call Votes What happens when an infiltrator kills one of the crew? If the murder is reported, a vote is called to discover the murderer.If someone receives the most votes identifying them as the infiltrator, then they are ejected from the ship.
Just because the game allows crew members to expel one of them doesn't mean they got it right. After expelling him from the ship, it will only be revealed if the person was the infiltrator or not. On the other hand, if they can't come to a decision, they just play along.
- Call an emergency meeting If some of the crew have suspicions about who the infiltrator may be, they can call a meeting of emergency and chat with the rest of the group in the chat. However, the insiders are also present, and it is even possible that one of them has requested the meeting to cause confusion.
- Ghosts. Innocent users kicked off the ship become “ghosts” who can return, but cannot interact with crewmembers.
So the game promises a combination of deceit, suspense, and suspicion. And no, you can't trust anyone.
