Among

Among drops you into a high-stakes cooperative challenge where a small crew must maintain their vessel while an unseen threat walks among them. As a Crewmate, your days are spent finishing maintenance chores, scanning systems, and reporting anything suspicious to keep the mission on track. But if you're the Impostor, your goal shifts to quiet sabotage, eliminating others, and blending in just long enough to seal their fate. The real tension comes from the emergency meetings, where everyone argues, accuses, and votes—but only the sharpest minds will uncover the truth. Playable in quick sessions either locally or with online opponents, this arcade take on social deduction thrives on communication and careful observation. Each round is a fresh puzzle: who can you trust, and when should you call that meeting? Beautifully simple controls make it easy to jump in, but mastering the psychology of bluffing, lying, and reading others is where the real skill lies. Whether you're a calm detective or a cunning trickster, every match promises a new twist on teamwork and betrayal.

What is Among

Among is a multiplayer arcade game of trust, betrayal, and quick thinking. Gather your crew, complete your duties, and unmask the impostor before it's too late.

How to Play

As a Crewmate, complete all assigned tasks scattered across the map while watching for suspicious behavior. As the Impostor, use sabotage and clever lies to eliminate targets without getting caught during emergency meetings.

Tips for Playing

  • Stick with other players and observe their routes—an impostor often breaks away to strike.
  • Use the security cameras and admin map to track movements when you're on edge.
  • If you're the impostor, sabotage lights to create chaos and chase isolated targets.
  • Don't rush to vote; listen to alibis and cross-check with visual task confirmations.
  • As a crewmate, pause to check the task bar—if it's not moving, someone is simply pretending to work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play Among alone?

You can play with AI-controlled teammates in solo mode, but the full experience shines when playing with others online or locally.

How do I know who the impostor is?

Watch for players who linger near vents, avoid tasks, or give conflicting accounts during meetings. Also, note who is missing when a body is found.

What happens if the impostor is voted out?

If the crew correctly identifies and ejects the impostor, the crew wins that round. If they eject a crewmate, the impostor gets closer to victory.

Can I play with friends?

Are there different maps?

Yes, the game includes several maps, each with unique layouts, tasks, and hiding spots, like The Skeld, Mira HQ, and Polus.

What is the best strategy as a crewmate?

Always pair up with someone you trust, report bodies immediately, and complete visual tasks that prove your innocence when possible.
