What is a surprise is how it knocked Fortnite down to 4th place (behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare). According to Twitch Tracker, Among Us is the second most popular watched game, behind League of Legends, which is no real surprise there. No, it was launched in 2018 and is experiencing a surge in popularity right now. Use your skills wisely because you need to kill everyone (either directly or indirectly when they falsely accused as Imposters). You can, of course, kill any witnesses, but that leads to the next Imposter rule: there is a cooldown timer between kills. Of course, if anyone notices you, they will know you’re an Imposter. You also have an additional ability to “vent,” which allows you faster travel around the spaceship via the ventilation shafts. You can even use these fake tasks to sabotage the ship. You will start with fake tasks to help you blend in with the locals. Imposter: The gameplay for Imposter is a bit different. If you are the one killed, you can still complete tasks as a specter but you can’t talk to anyone.
Now, if you find a dead body, you can opt to report it immediately and trigger a team meeting to identify the murderous Imposter… OR you can at least finish the tasks and hope you are not next. The tasks are important because they are part of keeping the spaceship working. Seems pretty simple, right? Yeah, except for the Imposters part. As soon as you know, it will change how you play the game.Ĭrewmates: The goal for Crewmates is to finish all of your tasks, find the Imposter (or Imposters), and survive. The first thing to note: you do not know if you are Crewmate or Imposter until the game actually starts. And thus it becomes a game of deduction, betrayal, and misdirection. When someone finds a body or a player calls an “emergency meeting” (allowed twice per game), everyone comes together to discuss and vote on who the Imposters are. Imposters are doing everything they can to sabotage the mission and kill off your Crewmates. Crewmates have to finish various tasks on board your spaceship and figure out who the Imposters are. This is the most important part to remember: Crewmates and Imposters. It requires 4-10 players to become your Crewmates, with one to three Imposters among you. It is available to play online or in a closed group of friends via wifi or LAN. Among Us is a multiplayer game from indie developer Innersloth.
