Among Us

Swoosh!

You pop up out of a vent.

Bang!

A shot rings out.

Swoosh!

You are back in the vent.

The lights flick back on and the people in the room freak out when they discover the dead body. 

A meeting is called to discuss the murder. No one suspects you. 

 

Among Us is an online, multiplayer game for people to play with friends. It is a game where you have to survive and try not to get voted off the spaceship, all while there is an imposter trying to kill you and all your friends. It is your job to find and vote off the imposter. The imposter kills people, and they win if everyone dies. The people win if they vote out all the imposters.

Among Us was released on June 15, 2018. Marcus Bromander is the creator. It got popular in 2020 because YouTubers like Sykkuno, Ninja, and Tfue started playing it and streaming their games live.  More YouTubers started playing, and then celebrities, and then suddenly everyone was playing.
