If you’ve been playing video games recently, you’ve probably heard of the game Among Us. The cross-platform game is based in space and can be played with a minimum of 4 and up to 10 people at a time. The object of the game is to find and expose the imposter, who is a secret murder on the space ship among the crewmates.
One game of Among Us is typically relatively quick, but quite addictive. The primary goal is to vote out the imposters, but there are also mini tasks you must complete before the end of the game. Unless you are the imposter, in which case your objective is to murder the crewmates without being caught by the others.
This game grew popular quite rapidly, reaching over a million users by September 3rd. By this last Friday, September 25, it had over 3.5 million players. In fact, the game has become so popular that the creators at InnerSloth cancelled the sequel they had planned to create. The reason the creators planned a sequel was because the coding was not up to date and can not support what they had planned. They feel it is best to continue to update and better the game that is doing so well right now.
Currently, you can cross-play Among Us on three different platforms, IOS, Android, and Windows PC. Even if you are not an avid gamer, you will probably love this game. You could join the millions of people that are already hooked on this cross-platform, murder mystery.
