The game allows for cross-platform play, first being released on iOS and Android devices in June 2018 and on Windows afterward that year in November. The game was then ported to the Nintendo Switch in December 2020, and on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Ane and Xbox Series X/Due south in Dec 2021. While the game was initially released in 2018 to little mainstream attending, information technology received a massive influx of popularity in 2020 due to many well-known Twitch streamers and YouTubers playing it. A separate VR version of the game, Among Us VR, volition be released for Quest 2, SteamVR, and PlayStation VR, developed past Schell Games.

Amidst U.s. takes place in a space-themed setting where players wait similar colorful armless cartoon astronauts; however, since the release of "The Skeld" spaceship, three other maps have been added in later years: the skyscraper "MIRA HQ", the "Polus" planetary station, and "The Airship" (based on Infiltrating the Airship from the Henry Stickmin series, also adult by Innersloth). Each player takes on one of 2 roles—most are Crewmates, but a small number play Impostors—which does non modify their appearance.[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 by killing the Crewmates before they complete all their tasks or past triggering a disaster that cannot exist resolved.

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 but killed the blue Crewmate in the centrally located Admin room. Because of the vision mechanic for Amongst Us, the pink role player is partially obscured in the white player'south field of vision. Whatever player can report the dead body and trigger a meeting.

Amongst United states is a multiplayer game for four to fifteen players (previously four to x players), although recommended for at least v.[11] Up to iii players are randomly[12] and secretly called to be the Impostor(s) each circular. As of 2021, a round can have place on one of four maps: a spaceship chosen "The Skeld"; a headquarters building chosen "MIRA HQ"; a planet base called "Polus";[13] or an airship based on Innersloth's Henry Stickmin series called "The Balloon".[14] [15]

The Impostor(s) win(s) one of two ways: either past killing almost of the coiffure (to the point that they're equal in number) or by sabotaging a disquisitional system on the map (provided the Crewmates don't resolve information technology in fourth dimension). The Crewmates likewise can win one of two means: either past completing all tasks or by identifying and ejecting all Impostors.[13] Games can also stop past 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] [eighteen]

At the start of the game, Crewmates are assigned "tasks" to complete around the map (in the form of minigames, minipuzzles, and simple toggles), mostly consisting of maintenance piece of work on vital systems such every bit fixing wires and downloading data.[19] Impostors are given a fake list of suggested tasks to blend in with Crewmates. However, they cannot legitimately perform tasks and can only pretend to be doing whatsoever of the tasks on the transport. Impostors, however, can demolition vital systems (such as The Skeld's oxygen supply), shut the doors to rooms, rapidly and covertly travel through the ventilation system (commonly referred to as "venting"), and kill Crewmates when continuing near them. To help the Crewmates identify Impostors, in that location are various 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 tin pass through walls, watch other players' activities, and encounter and chat with other ghosts.[xviii] Living players have a limited 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 various acts of sabotage (as an Impostor).[xiii]

Any living actor may call a group meeting by reporting a dead body, or by pressing the Emergency Meeting button on the map at any time (except during major sabotages, when Emergency Meetings cannot be chosen, but dead bodies tin still be reported).[18] [25] [26] During a meeting, players talk over who they believe is an Impostor based on the available show. Impostors tin can be identified beyond all reasonable doubt if they are seen venting or killing. A player may exist suspected for many other reasons though. However, all the players course 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 virtually crewmates voted is ejected from the map and they go 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] but only during meetings, and only if they are alive (though ghosts can speak with 1 another at whatever fourth dimension).[thirteen] [18] [23] While the game does not have a congenital-in phonation conversation system, it is common for players to use external programs such as Discord,[27] [28] [29] or to converse regularly if they are in close concrete proximity to one another. In case players can hear each other'due south voices, the game reminds them to not speak except during meetings.

In Nov 2021, additional roles were made available to players extending across the standard Crewmate or Impostor roles. Crewmates tin can as well be Engineers, Scientists, or Guardian Angels. Engineers let Crewmates to travel through vents similar Impostors can, albeit to a limited chapters. Scientists can check vitals at whatsoever time to encounter if whatsoever player has been killed recently. Crewmates who become Ghosts can become Guardian Angels, which can temporarily protect living players from beingness killed. Impostors likewise can exist Shapeshifters, allowing them to temporarily morph into other players.

In each game's antechamber, diverse options can exist adjusted to customize aspects of gameplay, such as player movement speed, the allowed number of emergency meetings, number of tasks, if there volition be "visual tasks",[30] or whether or not an Impostor is revealed after being voted off.[31] At that place are also many cosmetic options, including spacesuit colors, skins, hats, and pets,[32] [33] some of which are paid downloadable content.[e] [five] [7] [23]

Among Us was inspired past the live party game Mafia,[5] [35] and the science fiction horror film The Matter.[36] The thought 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, role cards were dealt and players wandered around a house, aimlessly, while some other person secretly killed the players, drawing a finger effectually their cervix. Most of its mechanics were still nowadays in Among Us, only the team wanted to "convalesce the demand to create an interesting home model and take someone wandering around in a boring environment". Then, they decided that the game would be space themed and also added tasks, which, co-ordinate to Forest Willard, programmer at Innersloth, "inverse several times during development".[36] [37]

Development began in Nov 2017.[37] The game was initially intended to exist a mobile-merely local multiplayer game with a single map.[38] Bromander paused evolution on Innersloth's other game, The Henry Stickmin Drove, in guild to build Amongst Us' first map, The Skeld.[39] When they began developing the first map, they intended that the send was always in crunch and that the Impostors could practise tasks. However, they found this setup "stressful" and decided that it "[wouldn't leave] much time for detective work and informed coming together conversations".[36] [37] Willard described playtesting as painful and frustrating, as the game would suspension downward during sessions forcing him to send playtesters new builds off of Google Play.
