Among Us is an online multiplayer social deduction game released in 2018 by the American game studio Innersloth. It was launched in June 2018 for iOS and Android smartphones, and in November 2018 for Windows, with cross-platform play between these platforms.
If you've spent some time on the internet, you've probably come across the insanely popular social deduction game that has taken the internet by storm. In Among Us, players race across a map performing tasks as Imposters lurk among them, plotting to destroy them without being discovered.
Crewmates will win the game by completing all of their assignments before being destroyed, or by locating and killing all imposters. The imposters will succeed by allowing a sabotage timer to expire or by murdering enough crewmates to match the number of imposters.
The game's sudden success brought in a diverse range of fans, perhaps due in part to the availability of Among Us mobile devices, which made playing with friends as simple as opening an app on a player's phone or tablet. Communities formed on websites such as Twitch and Discord, where players could communicate with one another and organize group sessions in private lobbies. The game attracts players of all ages, and its culture promotes the use of external forums for chatting both within and outside of the game.
About its dark subject matter, Among Us is rated E for all and is appropriate for gamers aged 10 and up.
One benefit of playing the game is, not only your cognitive psychology is being developed through various of challenges, either by Impostor or Crewmate, it helps users to find friends in the chat box of each game. Discussion in the in-game text chat is a huge part of Among Us. Players are able to type whatever they want into the conversation, but offensive words are automatically censored. Words that are not inappropriate will often get stuck in the word filter. That is why proper guidance and monitoring must be observed during games, especially those young ones that aren't that knowledgeable when it comes to cyber attacks.
However, if you want to play with your friends or you want your child to talk to those whom you trust already, you can just build a lobby. The lobby is set to private by default in the game. Plays will only reach you if you share your lobby code with them, even if it's private. This ensures that anyone you play with is someone you want to play with.
Among Us, like many famous games, has certain features that could be improved to provide a great experience for players of all ages. The required age for playing the game ranges from person to person and, in the end, is determined by an adult.
I find this game disturbing since in my opinion it promote betrayal and killing. Not really good for children.
