Overview
Among Us is an online multiplayer social deduction game, developed and published by the studio Innersloth, released in 2018 and hugely popular in 2020. A match puts a group of players aboard a spaceship or a base, with one or more impostors hiding among them.
Gameplay
The game is basically a game of "Werewolf": you have to find the impostors and get rid of them before they kill the crew.
Meanwhile the crew has to complete various tasks, little mini-games spread across the map, without getting killed by the impostors. The impostors, for their part, pretend to do their tasks, can sabotage the ship and kill crew members.
When a body is found or an emergency meeting is called, everyone discusses to point at a suspect, then votes to eject them. The crew wins by finishing all its tasks or ejecting every impostor; the impostors win if they kill enough crew members or if a sabotage succeeds.
Verdict
Very cool game, but nothing more than that, and fairly repetitive. My wife, on the other hand, really enjoyed playing it.
