Set in outer space, the game tests wit
If you're into serious gaming and still haven't tried the newest crop which is blowing minds, you're missing out on the good stuff. With minuscule, alien characters in custom space suits and giant visors, online multi-player social deduction game Among Us — developed by InnerSloth in June 2018 — caught the interest of the gaming community in 2020, thanks to famous Twitch streamers and YouTubers playing and reviewing it.
Set in outer space, any player who joins in, is allotted one of two roles randomly — a crew mate or an impostor. While the crew mate's role is to complete tasks and identify the lurking impostors to eliminate them, the impostors blend in, sabotage map systems, use vents and kill crew mates. Crew mates stand a chance to win by completing all tasks before being killed or by eliminating all the impostors. The impostors on the other hand, can win by a sabotage countdown or killing crew mates to make them equal to the number of impostors in the game.
