“Among Us” is a popular online multiplayer game developed by InnerSloth. It was first released in 2018, but gained widespread popularity in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting increase in online gaming.

The game is set in a spaceship where players are divided into crewmates and impostors. The crewmates’ objective is to complete various tasks around the spaceship, while the impostors’ objective is to sabotage the crewmates’ efforts and eliminate them one by one.

Players can communicate with each other through text chat or voice chat, and can vote to eject players they suspect of being impostors. The game is won by the crewmates if they complete all their tasks or if they correctly identify and eject all the impostors, while the impostors win if they successfully eliminate enough crewmates or if they create enough chaos on the spaceship to prevent the completion of tasks.

“Among Us” has become popular due to its simple gameplay mechanics, social interaction aspect, and its ability to be played with friends or strangers online.
