Permainan ini terinspirasi oleh sebuah permainan pesta ''[[Mafia (permainan pesta)|Mafia]]'' dan film horor bertemakan fiksi ilmiah, ''[[The Thing (1982 film)|The Thing]]''. Video permainan ini tersedia untuk [[permainan lintas platform]] seperti perangkat [[iOS]] dan [[Android (operating system)|Android]] yang pertama kali dirilis pada Juni 2018 dan di [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] pada bulan November 2018. Kemudian video permainan ini diporta ke [[Nintendo Switch]] pada Desember 2020, dan di [[PlayStation 4]], [[PlayStation 5]], [[Xbox One]] dan [[Xbox Series X/S]] pada Desember 2021. Pada saat video permainan ini dirilis pada tahun 2018 dan menarik perhatiannya sedikit, permainan tersebut mendapatkan peningkatan popularitas yang sangat besar pada tahun 2020. Hal ini dikarenakan adanya banyak para streamer Twitch dan para [[YouTuber]] yang memainkannya. Sebuah permainan video versi VR yang dikembangkan oleh [[Schell Games]], ''Among Us VR'', akan dirilis untuk [[Meta Quest 2|Quest 2]], [[SteamVR]], dan [[PlayStation VR]].
''Among Us'' mengambil latar tempat yang bertemakan [[Science fiction|luar angkasa]], dimana para pemain terlihat seperti [[astronot]] berupa kartun, tanpa tangan, dan berwarna. Namun semenjak peta [[wahana antariksa]] "The Skeld" dirilis, tiga peta lainnya telah ditambahkan pada tahun sebelumnya seperti: menara puncak "MIRA HQ", pangkalan planet "Polus", dan "The [[Airship]]" (yang berasal dari serial ''Henry Stickmin'', ''Infiltrating the Airship'', juga dikembangkan oleh Innersloth). Masing-masing pemain memainkan salah satu dari dua peran (hampir semua yang diperankan adalah ''crewmate'', namun ada jumlah sedikit pemain yang memerankan sebagai ''impostor'') sehingga tidak dapat mengubah penampilannya.{{Efn|Permainan video ini menggunakan ejaan kata bahasa Inggris dalam "Impostor", bukan "Imposter" (meskipun kedua ejaan kata tersebut benar).<ref>{{cite web |last1=King |first1=Austin |title=Among Us Impostor vs. Imposter: Why InnerSloth Spells It Different |url=https://screenrant.com/among-us-impostor-imposter-innersloth-spelling-different-why/ |website=ScreenRant |access-date=April 9, 2021 |date=January 18, 2021}}</ref>}} Tujuan ''crewmate'' adalah mengidentifikasi dan melakukan pemungutan suara agar para ''Impostor'' dikeluarkan, atau menyelesaikan semua tugas-tugas di sekitar peta; sedangkan tujuan ''impostor'' adalh menyabotase misi para ''crewmate'' secara diam-diam dengan membunuh mereka sebelum mereka menyelesaikan tugasnya atau dengan memicu bencana yang tidak dapat mengatasinya.

Jika para pemain mendengar suara setiap pemain lainnya, permainan tersebut mengingatkan mereka untuk tidak berbicara kecuali saat pertemuan.
Pada November 2021, ada beberapa peran tambahan yang tersedia bagi para pemain yang memperluas selain peran berupa Crewmate atau Impostor. ''Crewmate'' juga dapat menjadi Engineers ({{Lang-id|Ahli rekayasa}}), Scientists ({{Lang-id|Ilmuwan}}), atau Guardian Angels ({{Lang-id|Malaikat penjaga}}). Para ''engineer'' mengizinkan para ''crewmate'' untuk menjelajah melalui ventilasi seperti hal yang dapat dilakukan oleh ''impostor'', <u>albeit to a limited capacity</u>. Scientists can check vitals at any time to see if any player has been killed recently. Crewmates who become Ghosts can become Guardian Angels, which can temporarily protect living players from being killed. Impostors likewise can be Shapeshifters, allowing them to temporarily morph into other players.<!-- customizable options -->In each game's lobby, various options can be adjusted to customize aspects of gameplay, such as player movement speed, the allowed number of emergency meetings, number of tasks, if there will be "visual tasks",<ref name=":4" /> or whether or not an Impostor is revealed after being voted off.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Garst|first=Aron|title=Playing "Among Us?"

In the original game, function cards were dealt and players wandered around a house, aimlessly, while another person secretly killed the players, drawing a finger around their neck. Most of its mechanics were still present in ''Among Us'', but the team wanted to "alleviate the need to create an interesting home model and have someone wandering around in a boring environment". So, they decided that the game would be space themed and also added tasks, which, according to Forest Willard, programmer at Innersloth, "changed several times during development".<ref name=":33" /><ref name=":28">{{Cite web|date=January 9, 2021|title=Among Us dev recounts how the game took flight, including early game ideas|url=https://indieworld.nintendo.com/news/#among-us-dev-recounts-how-the-game-took-flight|website=Nintendo|access-date=February 9, 2021}}</ref>
Pengembangan ''Among Us'' dimulai pada November 2017.<ref name=":28" /> Permainan video ini pada awalnya bertujuan untuk menjadikannya sebuah permainan [[Permainan video pemain jamak|multipemain lokal]] dengan satu peta yang hanya dimainkan di ponsel .<ref name="improb" /> Bromander menghentikan pengembangan permainan Innersloth lainnya, ''The Henry Stickmin Collection'', yang bertujuan untuk membangun peta pertama permainan ''Among Us'', The Skeld.<ref name="newgroundspod">{{Cite web|title=#27 – Innersloth|url=https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/972286|language=en|access-date=October 20, 2020}}</ref> Ketika memulai pengembangan peta pertamanya, <u>they intended that the ship was always in crisis and that the Impostors could do tasks</u>. However, they found this setup "stressful" and decided that it "[wouldn't leave] much time for detective work and informed meeting conversations".<ref name=":33" /><ref name=":28" /> Willard described [[Playtest|playtesting]] as painful and frustrating, as the game would break down during sessions forcing him to send playtesters new builds off of [[Google Play]]. The team tested the game with 8 of their friends and never tested the game with 9 or the maximum of 10 players.<ref name="newgroundspod" /> The game was developed using the [[Unity (game engine)|Unity]] engine.<ref name="itchpage" />

Amid its popularity, Innersloth considered releasing the game to [[PlayStation 4]] and [[Xbox One]] consoles, but encountered a problem in implementing player communication, since standard text-based or voice-based chat seemed unusable.

Pada pertengahan Oktober 2020, seorang peretas bernama "Eris Loris" mulai menyerang sebagian besar server Amerika Utara.

Laporan kanal Youtube bernama ''Eurogamer'' pada 23 Oktober 2020 menampilkan wawancara dengan seorang yang bernama Eris Loris. Wawancara tersebut diadakan melalui server Discord dari salah satu tautan yang tersedia dalam permainan yang diretas. Dalam wawancara, Loris mengklaim bahwa ia menciptakan bot yang bertanggunjawab atas peretasannya "hanya dalam enam jam", <u>and had enlisted up to 50 volunteers to form a [[botnet]] which boosted the strength of their attacks</u>. Loris mengklaim bahwa peretasan yang ia lakukan memberikan dampak terhadap 4,9 juta pemain dalam 1,5 juta permainan. Ia juga menambah bahwa peretasan tersebut merupakan bagian dari aksi publik yang bertujuan agar membujuk pemain untuk memilih [[Donald Trump]] sebagai presiden Amerika Serikat dalam [[Pemilihan presiden Amerika Serikat 2020|pemilu tahun 2020]].<ref name=":22" />
Innersloth menambahkan sebuah pesan dalam permainannya berupa peringatan kepada pemain mengenai peretasan yang terjadi pada 22 Oktober,<ref name=":22" /> dan merilis sebuah pernyataan di Twitter pada keesokan harinya. Innersloth mengatakan bahwa mereka harus "sangat berhati-hati" terhadap masalah berupa peretasan, dan mengatakan bahwa "pembaruan server darurat" would be pushed out to combat the hacks.

Leana Hafer from ''[[IGN]]'' stated in her verdict on the game: "I don't have any sus that this will be the last game of its breed to make a splash, since we’re already seeing its influence on even mega-games like Fortnite". As a negative point, she pointed out some technical problems, such as the difficulty of finding rooms that aren't already full or are a long way from getting there. She also lamented the lack of "mechanic to punish players who rage-quit when they don't get to play as impostor, or are caught dead to rights in the middle of a murder".<ref name="IGNReview">{{Cite web|last=Hafer|first=Leana|date=December 22, 2020|title=Among Us Review|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/among-us-review|website=[[IGN]]}}</ref> Tiraxa of ''[[Jeuxvideo.com]]'' was more critical of the game, lamenting the lack of an inbuilt voice chat, server bugs which "[prevent] some from joining the party, in a totally unexplained way", public servers with strangers, which she considered "less entertaining" than private servers with friends, and the large development progress, stating that the game has a "bit of a way to go before it reaches its full potential".<ref name="JXV" /> The mobile version of the game, although being free-to-play, was criticized. Osange of ''Bonus Stage'' called the presence of ads and in-app purchases of cosmetic changes that are mostly available for free on the PC version "nonsense". He also called the PC version "stable" but also stated that the Android version is "a device-by-device situation".<ref name=":27" />
The Nintendo Switch version received some criticism. William Antonelli of ''[[Insider Inc.|Insider]]'' said that the Switch controls give "many tasks a satisfying game response". However, he also stated that most of the tasks could be "done quickly with the Switch's touchscreen control", which can only be used when the console is in handheld mode. He noted that many of the game's tasks are difficult to complete using a gamepad, which is required when the console is connected to a larger screen, and considered this version "inferior" to the PC and mobile versions.<ref name=":34">{{Cite web|last=Antonelli|first=William|date=December 23, 2020|title='Among Us' is the biggest game of 2020, but don't play it on the Nintendo Switch|url=https://www.insider.com/among-us-nintendo-switch-game-review-2020-12|website=Insider|access-date=February 17, 2021}}</ref> He also stated that the communication system is "frustrating", as using the joystick to select letters is "slow", and said the fact that the game has support for multiplayer across multiple platforms gives Switch players "immediate disadvantage".<ref name=":34" /> PJ O'Reilly of ''Nintendo Life'' noted that the Switch lacked much of the additional content available on other platforms, such as skins, which he called a "shame".<ref name="NintendoLife" />

[[Epic Games]] featured a community-created game mode in ''[[Fortnite Creative]]'' in December 2020 called "The Spy Within", which had very similar mechanics to ''Among Us'', in which among ten players, the others have to complete tasks to earn enough coins within a limited time while trying to deduce which two players are trying to sabotage that effort.<ref>{{cite web|last=Goslin|first=Austen|date=December 15, 2020|title=Fortnite's new limited time mode is basically Among Us|url=https://www.polygon.com/fortnite/2020/12/15/22176360/fortnite-new-limited-time-mode-among-us-impostor-spy-within|work=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]|access-date=August 18, 2021}}</ref> Epic later added another (official and internally-developed) limited mode to ''Fortnite'' called "Impostors" in August 2021, which was recognized as even a closer take on ''Among Us'', as the same basic mechanics as "The Spy Within" were used, but now taking place within an underground bunker with a layout similar to the ''Among Us'' map. Innersloth responded in frustration to this mode, which gave no credit to Innersloth. Innersloth's co-founder Marcus Bromander stated "Is it really that hard to put 10% more effort into putting your own spin on it though?", while studio representative Callum Underwood said that Innersloth was open to collaborations, "Just ask and if you follow some basic rules it’s usually fine".<ref>{{cite web|last=Good|first=Owen|date=August 18, 2021|title=Among Us developers push back on Fortnite's 'Impostors' mode|url=https://www.polygon.com/22630673/fortnite-impostors-among-us-ripoff-copyright-sue-patent|work=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]|access-date=August 18, 2021}}</ref> In an October 2021 blog posting, Epic Games did credit Innersloth and ''Among Us'' as inspirations for the "Impostors" mode.<ref>{{cite web|last=Phillips|first=Tom|date=October 12, 2021|title=Epic Games now credits Among Us' Innersloth as inspiration for Fortnite's Impostors mode|url=https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-10-12-epic-games-now-credits-among-us-innersloth-as-inspiration-for-fortnites-imposters-mode|work=[[Eurogamer]]|access-date=October 12, 2021}}</ref>
