What is Among Us? The Core Premise and Evolving Experience
The game’s premise remains the same: a group of players (4-15) are designated as either Crewmates or Impostors.
- Crewmates: The majority. Their goal is to complete a series of simple tasks scattered around the map (like fixing wires, swiping cards, or emptying garbage) and identify the Impostors. If all tasks are completed or all Impostors are ejected, Crewmates win.
- Impostors: A smaller number of players (usually 1-3). Their objective is to covertly kill enough Crewmates until the Impostors outnumber the remaining Crewmates, or to sabotage critical systems (like oxygen or the reactor) and prevent them from being fixed in time. Impostors win by deception and cunning.
