Hello readers! It has been a while. Hope you are all doing well.
With all the Among Us memes that is "main headlines" or the hype of social media lately, one would wonder, what's this Among Us that everyone is speaking of.
What is exactly Among Us ?
Among Us, is a social deduction game where Crewmates are required to do certain in-game tasks in order to win the game, while the Imposters would prevent the Crewmates from completing all their tasks by the means of either killing or sabotaging them in their tasks. What makes the game exciting is, none of the players are aware of who are the Imposters or Crewmates, which means, the Crewmates would need to find out who are the killers before all of them are wiped out. The role of the Crewmate/s and Imporster/s are randomly chosen at the start of the game.
Other than going on a killing streak, Imposters have the ability to Sabotage other players by turning off the lights, overloading the reactor, or depleting the oxygen which forces the Crewmates to separate, making them an easy prey. There are also vents around the space ship or the planet allow the Imposters quickly travel between rooms without being spotted. Also, it's best to add that all players are required to remain silent except during the discussion phase.
During discussion, you can discuss among other players on who the suspect/s are, based on any evidence or witnesses brought forth. Then you start to vote the said suspect. Once the voting is done, the player with the most votes of being the Imposter would be cast out into space. This process would repeat if the player being booted is not the Imposter.
As the Imposter, you should sabotage as often as possible in order to split Crewmates up so that they can be picked off one by one. Sabotaging the lights can be an intelligent and powerful move for Imposters as they reduce the vision of the Crewmates, making them easier to kill.
Rigging the Oxygen and Reactor is also usually a excellent idea if you're trying to force players to go from one side of the map to another, making them a sitting duck that has been left behind.
As a Crewmate, your best bet of staying alive is to stick with your mates. Even if one of you is an Imposter, you can easily report the kill when a fellow Crewmate has fallen. (Unless both the mates in your small group are Imposters, you'll be in the deepest of sh*t.)
So, how does the game wreck friendships ?
Like every social deduction game, the Imposters must gain the trust of the Crewmate in order to not get caught. Which means you will have to lie to your friends, in order to make them easier for you to kill later in the game. We're not responsible for any broken friendships caused while playing the game.
