No one expected it but in this came a game called Among us, which had gone unnoticed 2 years, to become the most watched thing on Youtube and Twitch over the last month. In a pandemic era caused by COVID-19 disease there are two games that have been played massively: Fall guys and Among us.
The explanation of the game is simple. A number of players between 4-10 enter a ship and are assigned two roles: crew members and impostors. Randomly between 1 and 3 passengers of the ship are selected to be impostors.
Crew members have to do missions on the ship. Missions include repairing electrical cables, scanning, destroying asteroids, etc.. Also among its objectives is to avoid being killed by impostors. Once a crew member is killed, he becomes a ghost who can perform some limited functions in the game.
Impostors instead have fake missions and have the power to sabotage the ship and kill, when allowed, other crew members trying not to be seen. Once they discover imposter and are expelled from the ship he becomes a ghost who can continue to annoy his comrades.
The role of impostors is much more attractive than being a crew member. Being able to do whatever you want, the fact that you can kill other crew members or be able to sabotage the ship is much more interesting than doing missions and watching who’s behind you.
If a player finds a corpse, a button is activated to notify it and all players meet. At that meeting they have to say everyone where they’ve been and what they were doing. A vote is finally held at the meeting. If a player has the suspicions of several he can be expelled from the ship if he wins that vote. A player ejected from the game may or may not report that he is an impostor.
Next I put a series of tricks to try to help a player play as best as possible whether you have the role of imposter or if you have the role of crew member.
Being an imposter is much harder than being a crew member. First of all because there are fewer impostors than crew members. Second, they have few ways to have alibis. Also, if you don’t do anything… crew members win. And finally, they don’t have the ability to do chores. These simple tricks below can help you win the game easily:
Crewmates have a much easier job in the game compared to impostors. Their goal is to expel impostors or finish their tasks before impostors kill them all. Therefore, to win, they must avoid being killed or eliminated by other crewmates.
Among us was a game released in 2018 with hardly any acceptance. Suddenly in summer 2020 it went viral due to several streamers who started playing it as you can see in the following image that refers to the trend of searching for a word in the google search engine..
Their success is partly because these famous streamers interact with each other through a voice chat in which everyone is playing according to their role, and telling lies non-stop. Betrayal is a dish served cold. This is a small collection of videos that you will surely like. Don’t set the speakers too loud…

The success of the game has caused the creator of the game to be thinking of a second part. The first part had this official trailer:
The second part is expected to be released. The game’s creator innersloth (https://twitter.com/innerslothdevs) is excited about success these past few months and has worked very hard these months to improve the game’s servers due to the huge increase in players.
The developers have had long discussions about what they wanted to do with the game. When do they stop developing Among us 1? What content will Among us 2 have? The main reason for doing a second part is that the codebase of the first part is outdated and does not allow much more improvement to what the game is now. However, seeing how many people enjoy the game right now, as it is, makes them think about continuing to maintain it. So, and this is today’s news (https://innersloth.itch.io/devlog/181107/the-future-of) developers have decided to cancel Among Us 2 and put all the focus on improving Among Us 1..
All the content they had planned for Among Us 2 will go to the first part. This is a difficult task because it means delving into the heart of the game and reworking various parts of it. They have many plans and are excited to bring new content for people to continue to enjoy. Here’s a small advance:
