The game got popular in some regions like South Korea and Brazil before getting popular worldwide. Some YouTube creators were introduced to it by The Henry Stickmin Collection. It is maintaining its popularity due to large YouTube creators making videos on it, like MrBeast. Developers decided to redesign servers to account for the influx of new players. There were so many new players causing servers to go down, even though they were designed for scalability. Īmong Us got a lot more popular in the summer of 2020, because a lot of Twitch streamers started streaming themselves playing it, at some point making it the most viewed category on Twitch. The game received mainly positive reviews but some criticized the game because 'after a while, you just see the same old maps', while on Steam the game received 'very positive' reviews. It has been released on the 31st of March 2021 for free. It is based off of the Airship from "Infiltrating the Airship" in The Henry Stickmin Collection, another game Innersloth worked on. It was announced at The Game Awards on December 10, 2020. 'The Airship' is the fourth map in the game. Most tasks/features in this map are only in this map. As of June 11, 2020, this map also became free for all players to play. This map is quite big and open compared to the other maps. This map does not have vents for the Impostor, but holes that connect the different buildings. This map, like Mira HQ, was also released as paid content. 'Polus' is set in a base in a planet named Polus. This map contains new features such as new tasks, a decontamination system and a door log. As of June 11, 2020, this map became free for all players to play. It was announced on August 3, 2019, and it was released on August 8, 2019. Unlike The Skeld, the map was released as paid content, and is set in a floor in a floating building that is the headquarters of the company MIRA. It used to be the only free map in the game, and is set in a simple spaceship. It was released with the game, and is the most popular map. 'The Skeld' is the very first map in Among Us. The Impostors can become a Shapeshifter or the regular Impostor. As of the new Update, Crewmates can become Scientists, Engineers, Guardian Angels or the regular Crewmate. If the Impostor kills everyone or if the Crewmates run out of time on certain sabotages, the impostor wins. If both the Crewmates and the ghosts complete their tasks, the Crewmates will win. Ghost Impostors can also sabotage to help their teammates. However, they can still do tasks, and see the rest of the game. Ghosts can not do things with other players, and they can not talk or vote during meetings. When a player is killed by the Impostor, or if they are voted out, they become a ghost. Because of this, many players use services like Discord for voice chat. Players can only talk by typing messages. Among Us does not let players use voice chat. If a player gets the most votes, they are voted out, meaning they are kicked out from the game. This is the only time when players can talk to each other and vote. During a report meeting, players can talk about who they think is the Impostor. Impostors can travel around the map using vents, and "sabotage" parts of the map (such as causing a reactor meltdown on The Skeld) to distract or kill other Crewmates.Įvery player has a chance to call an emergency meeting or, when they see a fallen body, to report it to everyone else. Impostors can pretend to complete these tasks to make it seem like they are not Impostors. They do not have tasks, but instead can pretend to do tasks. Impostors can win by killing all the Crewmates, or killing enough Crewmates so that there are more Impostors than Crewmates. They can win if everyone does their tasks, or if they vote out all the Impostors. The number of Impostors can be changed at the start of the game.Ĭrewmates are given a list of tasks to complete at the start of the game. Each game has a minimum of one Impostor, and a maximum of three Impostors in it. In Among Us, players play as one of four to fifteen players, and can either be a "Crewmate" or an "Impostor". In December 2021, Innersloth announced that there would be a virtual reality version of the game, called Among Us VR. The game got very popular in late 2020 because many Twitch streamers and YouTubers have played it. Among Us follows a crew being killed one at a time by one or more Impostors. It was also released on itch.io on August 17, 2018. It was released for iOS and Android on June 15, 2018, for PC on Steam on November 16, 2018. The game was inspired by the party game Mafia and the science fiction horror film The Thing. Among Us is an American science-fiction social deduction game made by Innersloth LLC.
