Among Us is one of the biggest names on the internet right now. Just about everyone seems to be playing the game, and why not? It is fun, easy to understand, and most importantly, can be played with a lot of friends. It is a very simple game between ‘crewmates’ and ‘imposters’, where the crewmates do some tasks before the imposters can kill them all. To spice things up, there are some features like an emergency meeting for the crewmates and sabotage for the imposters. To be fair, InnerSloth [http://www.innersloth.com/]‘s latest project is not the best game ever, but it owes its immense popularity to some very interesting features. Here’s a basic tutorial for the game by DrybearGamers: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muqaBob6pfw] ALSO READ– A simple beginner’s guide for Among Us [https://www.essentiallysports.com/among-us-simple-guide-to-control-the-game-for-beginners-esports-news/] AMONG US IS ONLY FUN WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY Multiplayer games are the most popular genre in the world right now and Among Us makes the best use of it. Considering other popular games like Valorant and CoD: Warzone, players can still play the game in random lobbies and have fun. However, Among Us is such a game that it is most fun when played with friends or family. The game forces people to suspect each other, and no-one prefers to argue with some random people online.

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.
