[https://www.essentiallysports.com/is-call-of-duty-cold-war-already-better-than-modern-warfare-activision-treyarch-esports-news/] The dire health situation across the globe has confined most people to their homes. Many of them have taken up video games as their companions during the quarantine. As a result, a lot of games have garnered a lot of popularity. Among Us seems to be the latest addition to the list, following Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. THE ESSENCE OF PLAYING A SIMPLE GAME WITH FRIENDS IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS FOR THE POPULARITY OF AMONG US Many have made a comparison between this game and Werewolves/Mafia, a popular party game. In a way, Among Us does seem to be an online version of the aforementioned game. Among Us functions entirely on teamwork and the player’s IQ and yet does not have a steep learning curve that other online games like Warzone or say, Fortnite, possess. This is one of the major reasons why this game achieved such massive popularity. Animal Crossing gives players a sense that they belong to a community while they are at home. Similarly, Among Us is like a virtual social gathering of people, where you carry out certain activities and have fun. All this during the times of social distancing. Moreover, the game is an incredibly cheap multiplayer game, priced on Steam at $5. On the Google Play Store for Android, the game is free to play. Being simple and free, this game already has a huge community of streamers logging in. 

Among Us has recently got a huge upsurge in popularity, especially due to the
pandemic situation. But what are the other factors here?

<h2><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-434146" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/among-us-game-e1601565968912-560x315.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="315" />What type of game is Among Us?</h2>
Among Us is a social deduction game heavily inspired by the party game 'Mafia'. Developer Innersloth released the game in 2018, but it only gained popularity in 2020. Streamer Sodapoppin discovered the game first and since then, streamers like PewDiePie, Disguised Toast, Pokimane, Ninja have all played it regularly.

The rules of the game are simple. With up to 10 players in a single game, players can choose whether they want to have 3, 2, or 1 impostor per game based on individual preferences. Impostor/Impostors and crewmates are randomly chosen.

Once the game begins, the crewmates have to finish certain tasks on the map at different locations. The job of the impostors is to kill the crewmates without being suspected. If a dead body is found, both crewmates and impostors can report it. Once done, the players can choose to vote out anyone they suspect or just skip voting.

Another way impostors can win is by sabotaging the reactor or oxygen on the ship. If there are an equal number of impostors and teammates by the end of a voting session, the impostors win. If the crewmates successfully identify the impostors and vote them out, they win. Crewmates can also win if they successfully complete all the tasks before the impostors can do their jobs.

Developer Innerslorth also announced earlier that they were working on an Among Us 2 title. Although, shortly after the original game blew up in popularity, the developers announced that the sequel was canceled for the time being. They wanted to focus all their efforts on making the current game better.

Among Us also allows players to customize their appearance. Players can equip different hats to make their appearance quirky and fun. Additionally, players can also have a mini crewmate as well.

There are different Among Us Mods also available. For example, one mod allows players to have a lobby of 100 players. Another mode allows crewmates to pass through walls, making them look like hackers.

The recent update also made the game better in terms of functionality and promised to add a new map as well.
