The game allows for cross-platform play, showtime beingness released on iOS and Android devices in June 2018 and on Windows later that yr in November. The game was then ported to the Nintendo Switch in Dec 2020, and on the PlayStation four, PlayStation 5, Xbox 1 and Xbox Serial 10/Southward in December 2021. While the game was initially released in 2018 to footling mainstream attention, it received a massive influx of popularity in 2020 due to many well-known Twitch streamers and YouTubers playing it. A divide VR version of the game, Amidst Us VR, will be released for Quest ii, SteamVR, and PlayStation VR, developed by Schell Games.

Among Us takes place in a space-themed setting where players wait like colorful armless cartoon astronauts; however, since the release of "The Skeld" spaceship, three other maps take been added in after years: the skyscraper "MIRA HQ", the "Polus" planetary station, and "The Balloon" (based on Infiltrating the Airship from the Henry Stickmin series, also developed by Innersloth). Each player takes on one of ii roles—most are Crewmates, but a small number play Impostors—which does not alter their advent.[d] The goal of the Crewmates is to either identify and vote out the Impostors, or to consummate all the tasks around the map; the goal of the Impostors is to covertly sabotage the mission either past killing the Crewmates before they consummate all their tasks or by triggering a disaster that is not resolved in time.

Gameplay

A white-suited astronaut named "Buddy" (the player) stands in front of an unnamed blue-suited corpse. The room they are in is labeled "Admin". In the hallway, slightly obscured by the sight line mechanic, is a pink-suited astronaut named "Chum". In the upper-left corner of the player's screen, there is a fake list of tasks as well as the player's goal: to kill all Crewmates. The player also has the option to Use, Report, Sabotage, and Kill. As the player has just killed, the button is on cooldown and faded.

In this gameplay screenshot of the original map, The Skeld, the white Impostor has simply killed the blue Crewmate in the centrally located Admin room. Considering of the vision mechanic for Among Us, the pink player is partially obscured in the white role player's field of vision. Any player can report the dead body and trigger a meeting.

Among United states is a multiplayer game for four to fifteen players (previously four to ten players), although recommended for at least five.[eleven] Up to three players are randomly[12] and secretly chosen to be the Impostor(s) each round. As of 2021, a round tin take place on ane of four maps: a spaceship called "The Skeld"; a headquarters building called "MIRA HQ"; a planet base called "Polus";[13] or an airship based on Innersloth's Henry Stickmin series chosen "The Airship".[14] [15]

The Impostor(s) win(due south) 1 of two ways: either by killing most of the crew (to the signal that they're equal in number) or by sabotaging a critical system on the map (provided the Crewmates don't resolve it in time). The Crewmates besides can win i of two ways: either past completing all tasks or by identifying and ejecting all Impostors.[13] Games can likewise end by players quitting the match if doing so fulfills any win condition (if a Crewmate quits the game, their tasks are automatically considered completed).[16] [17] [18]

At the kickoff of the game, Crewmates are assigned "tasks" to complete around the map (in the class of minigames, minipuzzles, and simple toggles), generally consisting of maintenance work on vital systems such as fixing wires and downloading data.[xix] Impostors are given a fake listing of suggested tasks to alloy in with Crewmates. Yet, they cannot legitimately perform tasks and tin can only pretend to be doing any of the tasks on the transport. Impostors, yet, can sabotage vital systems (such as The Skeld's oxygen supply), close the doors to rooms, rapidly and covertly travel through the ventilation system (commonly referred to as "venting"), and kill Crewmates when standing nigh them. To help the Crewmates identify Impostors, there are diverse surveillance systems on each map, such every bit security cameras and an admin system on The Skeld,[20] a doorlog system with sensors in MIRA HQ,[21] and a vitals indicator in Polus.[13] Crewmates may also confirm their identity through "visual tasks" (tasks that have animations which play for other players), which cannot be faked by Impostors.[22]

If a Crewmate is killed or any player is voted out and ejected, they become a ghost. Ghosts can laissez passer through walls, watch other players' activities, and encounter and chat with other ghosts.[18] Living players have a express cone of vision;[23] ghosts do not.[24] Moreover, ghosts cannot communicate with living players or be seen by them. Ghosts help their living teammates by completing their tasks (as a Crewmate) or performing diverse acts of sabotage (as an Impostor).[13]

Any living player may call a grouping meeting by reporting a dead body, or by pressing the Emergency Meeting button on the map at any fourth dimension (except during major sabotages, when Emergency Meetings cannot exist chosen, but dead bodies tin nevertheless be reported).[18] [25] [26] During a coming together, players hash out who they believe is an Impostor based on the available evidence. Impostors tin can be identified beyond all reasonable doubt if they are seen venting or killing. A player may be suspected for many other reasons though. However, all the players form a sort of jury and must weigh the veracity or value of each other's statements and questions during the meeting. A plurality vote is held, and if a plurality is obtained, the player whom the most crewmates voted is ejected from the map and they become a ghost, unless the majority of the crewmates choose to skip vote or there is a tie vote.[19] [18] Players can communicate in a built-in text chat (with some predefined phrases for phone users),[19] merely only during meetings, and but if they are live (though ghosts can speak with 1 some other at any fourth dimension).[thirteen] [18] [23] While the game does not have a born voice chat system, it is common for players to use external programs such as Discord,[27] [28] [29] or to converse regularly if they are in shut physical proximity to one another. In case players can hear each other's voices, the game reminds them to not speak except during meetings.

In Nov 2021, additional roles were made available to players extending beyond the standard Crewmate or Impostor roles. Crewmates can also be Engineers, Scientists, or Guardian Angels. Engineers permit Crewmates to travel through vents like Impostors can, albeit to a limited chapters. Scientists tin can check vitals at any fourth dimension to see if any role player has been killed recently. Crewmates who get Ghosts can go Guardian Angels, which tin can temporarily protect living players from being killed. Impostors besides can be Shapeshifters, allowing them to temporarily morph into other players.

In each game'south antechamber, various options tin be adjusted to customize aspects of gameplay, such as thespian movement speed, the immune number of emergency meetings, number of tasks, if there volition be "visual tasks",[30] or whether or not an Impostor is revealed later on beingness voted off.[31] There are likewise many cosmetic options, including spacesuit colors, skins, hats, and pets,[32] [33] some of which are paid downloadable content.[e] [5] [7] [23]

Among Us was inspired past the alive party game Mafia,[5] [35] and the science fiction horror film The Thing.[36] The idea for the concept was originally given by Marcus Bromander, co-founder of Innersloth, who had played Mafia since he was a kid. In the original game, function cards were dealt and players wandered around a firm, aimlessly, while another person secretly killed the players, drawing a finger around their cervix. Most of its mechanics were still present in Among Us, but the team wanted to "convalesce the need to create an interesting home model and take someone wandering effectually in a boring environs". Then, they decided that the game would be infinite themed and also added tasks, which, according to Forest Willard, programmer at Innersloth, "inverse several times during development".[36] [37]
