Among Us

Among Us (formerly known as Among Us 1) is an online sci-fi murder-mystery game created by Innersloth that runs on the Unity Game Engine. It was released on June 15, 2018, on iOS, Android, and was released on Steam on August 18, 2018. The game is set on either a spaceship, above-earth base or planet base which contains a group of crew members where there is, among them, 1-3 impostors who have to sabotage the ship/base/planet and kill everyone. Everyone else (crewmates) has to complete their chosen tasks, report bodies of dead Crewmates, and initiate emergency meetings if they witness an impostor doing something incriminating. Among Us is set in The Skeld, which is the main and first map of the game set in a spaceship. Starting in 2019, two new maps were launched: Mira HQ and Polus. Starting in 2020, was considered by Innersloth a complete game, and as of June 11, 2020, Mira HQ and Polus, which were previously paid for, were released, both for mobile and PC, for free for players to host. Among Us 2, according to the company, was scheduled to be available by 2021, but is now cancelled and work will proceed on improving the original game instead because of the over-popularity of Among Us 1. In addition, many forms of merchandise, such as T-shirts and toys, have been announced and launched.
