Despite its 2018 release, Among Us has recently become one of the most popular online games. What exactly is this space-themed game, and how did it become such a widespread phenomenon? Among Us is an online multiplayer party game is the new big name in Twitch Gaming and YouTube Gaming. The game is not a new release. Surprisingly, the game had released in June 2018 and had an average of seven players playing it in its first year. However, the game has now suddenly blown and everyone on the internet seems to know about it.

Among Us is an online social deduction game where the majority of players take on the role of crewmates. Working together to complete tasks on different space settings like a spaceship or base. Additionally, there are up to 3 impostors aboard with the main goal of sabotaging the ship and killing off crewmates while trying to blend in. Crewmates must try to stay alive and correctly identify the impostor(s) via emergency meetings. That is where they can discuss why they think a certain player is or is not the impostor.

Ideally, no one speaks until a meeting is called. Once initiated, players can debate potential suspects and have the option to vote off a crewmate. Crewmates win the game when they correctly identify all impostors among them. Conversely, the victory goes to the impostors if they’ve managed to kill off enough crewmates without being detected.

How Among Us became so wildly popular

Among Us is cheap and very accessible

Of course you can download the game from only accessing PlayStore. The game is available on Steam at a basic price of $5. Other games on these platforms have much higher prices, and the low price point has definitely worked in Among Us’ favor.
