The appeal of Among United States doesnt originate from cutting-edge graphics or high frame-rate violence. Instead, Among Us is everything about deduction and social interaction. 4 to ten gamers portray area tourists on a friendly objective, but one gamer is a murderous traitor, and its up to the remainder of the group to find out whos the rat before they get knifed.
Its a simple idea that you may keep in mind playing around a table as “Werewolf” or “Mafia,” but being able to log on with complete strangers or buddies (the game is playable cross-platform on mobile platforms and PC) is convenient and enjoyable, and considering that the game is based on trickery and reduction, theres no barrier for gamers who do not have the fastest reflexes.
