The gameplay is quite simple, the players will be gathered around four or nine people. This number of players will affect who will be the killer (Impostor) and also Crewmates.

After determining the total players in the game, the host can choose the desired arena map, starting from The Skeld, Mira HQ, and Polus. Each location has its own theme, for example, The Skeld which is the theme of the spaceship.

The player's task is to find Impostors which can consist of 1-3 Impostors, while doing some side tasks and missions. Meanwhile, Impostor has a mission to kill or sabotage every player without being noticed by other players.

Interestingly during the game no one can speak for anonymity. If the Crewmates find the bodies of their colleagues, they can report to hold an emergency meeting with all the players to determine who the culprit is, aka the Impostor.

This is where the sheepfight begins, where Impostor will be able to lie by slandering. Because each player can appoint one of them who is suspected of being an impostor.

If the original Impostor is not selected in the voting, the game will continue again. Meanwhile, Crewmates who happen to get the highest votes will be kicked out of the game.

This game will only be finished when Crewmates get rid of all Impostors, or Impostors are considered the winner if they kill all Crewmates.

If you are interested in playing it, the game Among Us can be downloaded for free via the Google Play Store app store for Android smartphone users or the App Store for iPhone owners. Meanwhile, PC and Windows laptop gamers can buy Among Us on the Steam platform for IDR 25 thousand.
