Among Us[a] adalah sebuah permainan pemain jamak daring dan deduksi sosial tahun 2018 yang dikembangkan dan dipublikasikan oleh studio permainan asal Amerika Serikat, Innersloth. Permainan ini terinspirasi oleh sebuah permainan pesta Mafia dan film horor bertemakan fiksi ilmiah, The Thing. Video permainan ini tersedia untuk permainan lintas platform seperti perangkat iOS dan Android yang pertama kali dirilis pada Juni 2018 dan di 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 Quest 2, SteamVR, dan PlayStation VR.

Among Us mengambil latar tempat yang bertemakan 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.[b] 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.

Pada cuplikan gambar berikut mengenai alur permainan dari peta aslinya, The Skeld, impostor berawrna putih baru saja membunuh crewmate berwarna biru di tengah-tengah ruang Admin. Karena mekanik pandangan Among Us, pemain berwarna pink terlihat sebagian dalam daerah pandangan pemain berwarna putih. Setiap pemain dapat melaporkan adanya mayat dan memicu pertemuan.

Among Us merupakan sebuah permainan video pemain jamak yang berjumlahkan empat hingga limabelas pemain (versi sebelumnya berjumlahkan empat hingga sepuluh pemain), meskipun jumlah minimumnya direkomendasi setidaknya lima pemain.[9] Pemain yang berjumlahkan tiga dipilih secara acak[10] dan secara diam-diam menjadi impostor pada setiap babak. Hingga pada tahun 2021, babak permainan dapat mengambil tempat pada salah satu dari empat peta: peta wahana antariksa yang disebut "The Skeld"; gedung kantor pusat yang disebut "MIRA HQ"; pangkalan planet yang disebut "Polus";[11] atau peta bertemakan pesawat luar angkasa yang disebut "The Airship" (yang berasal dari serial Innersloth, Henry Stickmin).[12][13]Pemain berperan sebagai impostor menang melalui salah satu dari dua cara berikut: dengan membunuh seluruh awak (hingga jumlahnya sama dengan jumlah impostor) atau dengan melakukan sabotase sistem kritikal pada peta (asalkan crewmate tidak mengatasinya dengan waktu yang tepat). Dengan demikian, para crewmate dapat memenangkan babak melalui salah satu dari dua cara berikut: dengan menyelesaikan semua tugas atau dengan mengidentifikasikan dan mengeluarkan semua impostor melalui pemungutan suara.[11] Permainan juga dapat diakhiri bila para pemain keluar dari babak jika dilakukan untuk memenuhi setiap kondisi agar menang (misalnya jika crewmate keluar dari permainan, maka tugas crewmate secara otomatis dianggap selesai).[14][15][16]

Pada saat permainan dimulai, crewmate diberi misi untuk menyelesaikan "tugas" (berupa minigame, minipuzzle, dan menekan tombol sederhana) di sekitar peta, meskipun hampir semua tugas memelihara sistem yang penting seperti memperbaiki kabel dan mengunduh data;[17] sedangkan impostor diberi daftar tugas palsu untuk berbaur dengan para crewmate. Akan tetapi, impostor tidak dapat mengerjakan tugas dan hanya dapat berpura-pura mengerjakan setiap tugas di dalam pesawat tersebut, serta impostor dapat menyabotase sistem penting (seperti pasokan oksigen di peta The Skeld), menutup pintu ruangan, berjalan diam-diam dan dengan cepat melalui sistem ventilasi, dan membunuh para crewmate ketika berdiri di dekatnya. Agar membantu para crewmate menemukan identitas impostor, ada beberapa sistem pengawasan pada masing-masing peta, seperti kamera keamanan dan sistem admin dalam peta The Skeld,[18] pintu masuk dengan banyaknya sensor dalam peta MIRA HQ,[19] dan indikator penting dalam peta Polus.[11] Para crewmate juga dapat mengkonfirmasi identitasnya melalui "tugas-tugas yang dapat dilihat" (seperti tugas yang mempunyai animasi ketika dimainkan pemain lain), sehingga para impostor tidak dapat memalsukannya.[20]Jika sebuah crewmate dibunuh atau setiap pemain dikeluarkan, maka mereka menjadi hantu. Hantu dapat melewati dinding, melihat aktivitas pemain lain, serta melihat dan mengirim pesan dengan hantu lainnya.[16] Pemain yang masih hidup mempunyai pandangan terbatas yang berbentuk kerucut,[21] sedangkan hantu tidak mempunyainya.[22] Terlebih lagi, para hantu tidak dapat berbicara dengan atau dilihat oleh pemain yang masih hidup. Para hantu (sebagai crewmate) membantu rekan-rekannya yang masih hidup dengan menyelesaikan tugasnya atau (sebagai impostor) melakukan berbagai tindakan berupa sabotase.[11]

Setiap pemain dapat memanggil pertemuan kelompok dengan melaporkan adanya mayat, atau dengan menekan tombol "pertemuan darurat" dalam peta kapan saja (kecuali saat terjadi sabotase di bagian utamanya, ketika "pertemuan darurat" tidak dapat dipanggil, namun masih bisa melaporkan adanya mayat).[16][23][24] Selama pertemuan berlangsung, pemain berdiskusi siapakah yang dipercayai berdasarkan bukti-bukti tersedia. Para impostor dapat diidentifikasi diluar dugaan bila mereka telah melakukan venting ataupun membunuh. Pemain dapat dicurigai karena ada banyak alasan lainnya. Namun, semua pemain membentuk semacam juri dan harus mempertimbangkan kejujuran ataupun nilai dari pernyataan setiap pemain lainnya dan bertanya saat melakukan pertemuan. Pemungutan suara dilakukan secara bersama, dan jika pemain memperoleh suara, maka yang mendapatkan pemungutan para crewmate terbanyak dikeluarkan dari peta dan menjadi hantu, kecuali sebagian besar para crewmate memilih untuk melewati pemungutan atau ketika pemungutannya seri.[17][16] Pemain dapat berkomunikasi melalui can obrolan teks (dengan ada beberapa frasa yang belum dijelaskan bagi pengguna ponsel),[17] namun hanya dilakukan saat pertemuan, dan hanya jika pemain hidup (walaupun hantu dapat berbicara dengan yang lain kapanpun).[11][16][21] Sementara bagi permainan yang tidak mempunyai sistem obrolan suara, pemain biasanya menggunakan program luar seperti Discord,[25][26][27] atau tetap sebaliknya jika para pemain tetap dekat dengan pemain yang lain. 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 (Indonesia: Ahli rekayasa), Scientists (Indonesia: Ilmuwan), atau Guardian Angels (Indonesia: Malaikat penjaga). Para engineer mengizinkan para crewmate untuk menjelajah melalui ventilasi seperti hal yang dapat dilakukan oleh impostor, albeit to a limited capacity. 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.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",[28] or whether or not an Impostor is revealed after being voted off.[29] There are also many cosmetic options, including spacesuit colors, skins, hats, and pets,[30][31] some of which are paid downloadable content.[c][33][5][21]

TBAAmong Us VR

Among Us terinspirasi oleh permainan pesta live Mafia,[33][34] dan film horror bertemakan fiksi ilmiah, The Thing.[35] Ide konsep permainan video ini berasal dari seorang pendiri Innersloth, Marcus Bromander, yang telah memainkan Mafia semenjak ia masih kanak-kanak. 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".[35][36]

Pengembangan Among Us dimulai pada November 2017.[36] Permainan video ini pada awalnya bertujuan untuk menjadikannya sebuah permainan multipemain lokal dengan satu peta yang hanya dimainkan di ponsel .[37] Bromander menghentikan pengembangan permainan Innersloth lainnya, The Henry Stickmin Collection, yang bertujuan untuk membangun peta pertama permainan Among Us, The Skeld.[38] Ketika memulai pengembangan peta pertamanya, they intended that the ship was always in crisis and that the Impostors could do tasks. However, they found this setup "stressful" and decided that it "[wouldn't leave] much time for detective work and informed meeting conversations".[35][36] Willard described 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.[38] The game was developed using the Unity engine.[39]

The game was released in June 2018 to Android and iOS under the AppID of "spacemafia".[33][40] Shortly after release, Among Us had an average player count of 30 to 50 concurrent players.[28] Bromander blamed the game's poor release on Innersloth being "really bad at marketing".[37] The team nearly abandoned the project multiple times, but continued work on it due to a "small but vocal player base",[41] adding in online multiplayer, new tasks, and customization options.[41] The game was released on Steam on November 16, 2018.[37][42] Cross-platform play was supported upon release of the Steam version.[43][44] Originally, the game had no audio to avoid revealing hidden information in a local setting,[d] and Willard mixed sounds from numerous sound packs to compose the SFX during the game's Steam release.[38]

On August 8, 2019, Innersloth released a second map, MIRA HQ,[45][46] a "tightly packed headquarters roughly the size of The Skeld." A third map, Polus, was added on November 12, 2019, and is set in a research station.[45][47] The fourth map, the Airship, was released on March 31, 2021, and is based on a location in the Henry Stickmin universe.[12][13] MIRA HQ and Polus originally cost players US$4 via in-app purchase. Their prices were reduced to US$2 on January 6, 2020, then made free on June 11, 2020.[48] While the map packs are still available for purchase on all platforms, they now only provide the player the skins that were bundled with the maps.[49] According to programmer Forest Willard, the team "stuck with [the game] a lot longer than we probably should have from a pure business standpoint", putting out regular updates to the game as often as once per week. This led to a steady increase in players, causing the game's player base to snowball. Bromander attributed this to the studio having enough savings to keep working on the game even while it was not selling particularly well.[37]

Sekuel yang dibatalkan dan pembaruan yang terus berlanjut sunting

In August 2020, the team shifted focus onto a sequel, Among Us 2.[4][5][6][7] During this time, Forest Willard and Amy Liu continued to update Among Us, increasing the maximum player base, adding four servers and three regions,[50] and implementing longer multiplayer codes to support more concurrent games.[51] On September 23, 2020, the team canceled the sequel, instead opting to add all content intended for the sequel to the original Among Us, due to "how many people [were] enjoying [the original game]".[52][53][54] However, Innersloth deemed the game's codebase "outdated and not built to support adding so much new content", so the team made plans to rework the game's core code to enable adding new features.[54] The team subsequently announced their plans to fix the game's server issues and widespread cheating problem,[55][56][57] as well as add a system for banning disruptive players.[58] In October 2020, colorblind support for the "wires" task was added to the Among Us beta on Steam, as well as some previously unannounced lobby customization options.[59][60] As-of-yet unimplemented features include a fifth map, the Sheriff role, and new game modes.[52][53][58][61][62]

In mid-February 2021, the game added a feature called Quickchat, which replaces the standard chat interface with a series of preset phrases that players must pick from. Players under the age of 13 are required to use Quickchat, but those over 13 are also allowed to use Free Chat, which allows them to type original messages.[63][64] First announced at The Game Awards 2020, the Airship map was released on March 31, 2021.[12][13] The Airship features multiple floors, contraptions, tasks, and "more".[65][66] In addition, Game Awards presenter Geoff Keighley's face was added as a skin. The map itself is based upon the Henry Stickmin series's Toppat Clan Airship.[67] Innersloth also stated that the map would be free to all players.[68][13] It also features a skin bundle that includes Henry Stickmin-themed cosmetic that can be bought on Steam.[13]

The accounts system was implemented along with the update, and it allows players to report players that are not following Innersloth's Code of Conduct in order to make the game a welcoming and respectful place. Punishment ranges from temporary to a permanent ban. They also stated that reports would be viewed manually and not by bots, that account creations would be required if players want to use Free Chat or to customize their nicknames, and that people under the age of 13 would need their parents' permission to create an account. Implementing an account system also allowed Innersloth to add account linking and a friending system in future updates.[69][70] Innersloth later revealed on the game's official Twitter account a new color to the game, Rose, which was included in the game's next update along with five other colors: Coral, Tan, Gray, Maroon, and Banana, which were revealed during Summer Game Fest on June 10, 2021, alongside other upcoming content, including a fifth map, new Hide & Seek game mode, and new roles such as Sheriff and Scientist.[61][62] The new colors, along with 15 player lobby support, new meeting screen and revamp at the game's design, was released on June 15, 2021, during the game's 3rd anniversary.[9]

On July 7, 2021, Innersloth released a minor update that adds a new task, "Clean Vent", which involves the Crewmate cleaning a specific vent, preventing Impostors from using it.[71] On November 9, 2021, a major update was released that introduced four new roles, achievements, a level system, controller support, custom keybinds, visor cosmetics, cosmetic bundles called "Cosmicubes", various in-game currencies, and a major revamp to the in-game store.[72] On March 31, 2022, a friending system was added, which allows players to see who they recently played with, send and receive friend requests, send and receive lobby invites, as well as the ability to block people.[73]

During The Game Awards 2021, Among Us VR was announced for SteamVR, PlayStation VR, and the Meta Quest 2, developed by Schell Games.[74] During the Meta Quest Showcase on April 20, 2022, an aproximate release date was officially announced, with the game coming out around the holidays of 2022.[75]

Perilisan konsol sunting

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. They considered a system similar to the "quick comms" system from Rocket League, as well as the possibility of developing an entirely new communication system for the game.[25][26] Versions of the game for Xbox consoles were later announced.[76]

Among Us was released for the Nintendo Switch on December 15, 2020, the same day it was announced during Nintendo Direct Indie World showcase. The Switch version supports cross-platform play with the mobile and Windows versions.[77] This port was published by Play EveryWare.[78] Upon release, the Switch version had an exploit to access The Airship prior to its official release in early 2021.[79] The exploit was fixed two days after release in the Switch version's first update.[80][81]

Among Us was released digitally for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S consoles on December 14, 2021, along with its release on the Xbox Game Pass for console. These versions will support cross-platform play with existing Windows, Switch, and mobile versions. Unique to the PlayStation ports are special customization options based on Ratchet & Clank. Physical releases for consoles will be available in Europe the same day, while North American physical releases will be available in January 2022.[82]

Peretasan pada Oktober 2020 dan Januari 2021 sunting

Pada pertengahan Oktober 2020, seorang peretas bernama "Eris Loris" mulai menyerang sebagian besar server Amerika Utara. Ada beberapa pemain di subreddit dan Twitter Among Us melaporkan bahwa pemain ini meretas lobinya dan melakukan spam dalam obrolan permainan berupa promosi kanal YouTube-nya, pranala server Discord, dan pesan berupa politik yang bersifat kontroversial.[83] Eris Loris juga mengancam kepada pemain peretas secara pribadi bagi yang menolak untuk berlangganan dengan kanal YouTube-nya. Serber Discordnya yang telah ditemukan mengandung sejumlah unsur yang bersifat menyerang, seperti kata-kata rasis, mengandung unsur darah, pornografi dan gambar penyalahgunaan hewan.[84]

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", and had enlisted up to 50 volunteers to form a botnet which boosted the strength of their attacks. 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 pemilu tahun 2020.[84]

Innersloth menambahkan sebuah pesan dalam permainannya berupa peringatan kepada pemain mengenai peretasan yang terjadi pada 22 Oktober,[84] 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. They encouraged players to stick to private games and to avoid playing on public ones until the update was released.[85] The team plans to address the hacking vulnerabilities as part of a planned overhaul for the game.[55][56][57] At the end of January 2021, players reported on Twitter the return of Eris Loris' hack attack, which is now distributing Among Us cheats.[86]

Popularitas sunting

Naiknya popularitas pada tahun 2020 sunting

 
Streamer Sodapoppin is credited with popularizing Among Us on the live-streaming platform Twitch.

While Among Us released in 2018, it was not until mid-2020 that it saw a surge of popularity, initially driven by content creators online in South Korea and Brazil. Bromander stated that the game is more popular in Mexico, Brazil, and South Korea than the United States.[37][33] According to Willard, Twitch streamer Sodapoppin first popularized the game on Twitch in July 2020.[37] Many other Twitch streamers and YouTubers followed suit, including prominent content creators xQc, Pokimane, Shroud, Ninja, Disguised Toast and PewDiePie.[53][87][34][88]

The COVID-19 pandemic was frequently cited as a reason for the popularity of Among Us, as it allowed for socializing despite social distancing.[37][89][90][91][92] Emma Kent of Eurogamer believed that the release of Innersloth's The Henry Stickmin Collection also contributed to awareness of Among Us,[53] and PC Gamer's Wes Fenlon credited Twitch streamer SR_Kaif for "prim[ing] Among Us for its big moment." Fenlon also praised Among Us for improvements over other popular tabletop games that had been inspired by Mafia, such as Secret Hitler. He said other video game adaptation of Mafia such as Town of Salem and Werewolves Within were "just add[ing] an online interface for the basic Werewolf rules," whereas Among Us is as an entirely new take on the concept.[34] Along with Fall Guys and the Jackbox Party Packs, Among Us provided a narrative-less experience that helped to avoid the "cultural trauma" of the pandemic, according to M.J. Lewis of Wired.[93]

Kumpulan meme dan fitur mod sunting

Popularitas Among Us berlanjut pada beberapa bulan ke depan. YouTube melaporkan bahwa video tentang Among Us dilihat sebanyak 4 juta kali pada September 2020,[94] dan video TikTok yang mengandung topik Among Us dilihat sebanyak lebih dari 13 juta kali pada Oktober 2020.[95] YouTuber CG5 menulis sebuah lagu bernama"Show Yourself", yang diambil dari permainan Among Us pada September 2020, dan mendapat lebih dari 60 juta kali lihat dalam empat bulan.[96] [e] Pada September 2020, jumlah unduhan Among Us melebihi sebanyak 100 juta[34] dan jumlah pemain pada saat itu menaik hingga 1,5 juta pemain secara bersamaan[97][98][terj. kasar] (nearly 400 thousand of which were on Steam),[45] then peaked at 3.8 million in late September.[99] The sudden increase in players overloaded the game's server, which according to Willard was "a totally free Amazon server, and it was terrible." This forced him to work quickly, under crunch time, to resolve these issues.[41]

In August, Innersloth opened an online store for Among Us themed merchandise.[5][28] The game's popularity inspired many original songs, fanarts and internet memes,[18][23][41] Willard expressed that fan-created content "really is the best part" of making Among Us, and Bromander called it "my favorite thing to see".[41] The game popularized the slang word "sus" (meaning "suspicious" or "suspect"),[100][101][102] which had been used before the game's release.[103] Other slang terms as well as internet memes popularized and inspired by Among Us include 'Sussy' and 'Sussy Baka' (derived from "sus"),[104][105] 'When the Imposter is Sus' (an ironic meme based on Among Us, usually alongside an edited photo of Jerma985),[106] and 'Amogus' (satiric misspelling of "Among Us").[107][108]

During its time of widespread popularity, Among Us was controversially played by the U.S. Navy Esports team, in which players on the stream used in-game names referencing the N-word and the bombing of Nagasaki. The stream was deemed "offensive" and "intolerable" by some viewers.[109] In October 2020, U.S. Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar streamed the game alongside several other prominent streamers such as Pokimane and Hasan Piker as a way to encourage people to vote in the 2020 United States presidential election, drawing almost 700,000 concurrent viewers on Twitch.[110][111][112]

Permainan video ini juga menerima beberapa mod yang dibuat oleh kounitas, seperti menambahkan peran baru, mode permainan, kosmetik, dsb.[113] Among Us juga ditampilkan di Twitch Rivals 2020, sebuah turnamen permainan daring yang diselenggarakan pada 4 Desember 2020.[114] Selama perayaan tersebut, pemain dapat menerima sebuah exclusive pet yang disebut "Glitch Pet", yang berupakan logo Twitch.[115]

Manga sunting

Pada 28 Desember 2021, H2 Interactive, yang menerbitkan Among Us di Jepang, mengumumkan bahwa manga one-shot yang diambil dari permainan tersebut akan dipublikasikan dalam masalah April Bessatsu CoroCoro pada 28 Februari 2022.[116][117] Pada 13 Januari, Innersloth mulai mempromosikan manganya melalui akun Twitter resminya.[118]

Sambutan sunting

Among Us was well received by critics. On the aggregator website Metacritic, the PC port received a 85 of 100 score based on 9 critic reviews, while the Nintendo Switch version received a 79 of 100 score based on 9 critic reviews, both them indicating "generally favorable reviews".[119][120] It was also considered one of the "Best PC Games for 2018", being ranked 17th, and as the "#38 Best Discussed PC Game of 2018".[128][129] Since December 2020, IGN considered it one of 2020's best reviewed games so far.[130]

Elliott Osange of Bonus Stage considered that the game is "silly fun", but felt that is more fun "to be an Impostor".[131] Craig Pearson of Rock, Paper, Shotgun had the same opinion, found playing as an Impostor "a lot more fun" than playing as a Crewmate, which he called "exhausting".[17] In reference to the game's popularity among streamers, Evelyn Lau of The National said: "Watching the reactions of people trying to guess who the impostor is (and sometimes getting it very wrong) or lying terribly about not being the impostor is all quite entertaining."[16] Alice O'Conner of Rock, Paper, Shotgun described the game as "Mafia or Werewolf but with minigames".[132] Andrew Penney of TheGamer said the game was "worth it for the price" and that "who you play with dictates how fun the game is."[21] L'avis de Tiraxa of Jeuxvideo.com praised the game's Freeplay mode, which offers newer players "to browse the map alone to accommodate the places", as they would need to play several games in order to "perfect their strategies".[123]

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".[124] 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".[123] 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".[131]

The Nintendo Switch version received some criticism. William Antonelli of 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.[133] 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".[133] 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".[125]

Among Us has been frequently compared to Fall Guys, as both became popular as party games during the COVID-19 pandemic;[37][27][134] the developers of both games have positively acknowledged each other on Twitter.[135][136] Comparisons have also been drawn between the two games' avatars, which have been said to look like jelly beans.[137][138] Among Us has also been compared to The Thing,[23][139] Town of Salem,[34][139] Werewolves Within,[34] and Secret Hitler.[34]

Sales sunting

Hingga September 2020, Steam Spy estimated that the game had more than 10 million owners on Steam.[140] The Associated Press noted the game was the most downloaded app on the iOS App Store for both iPhones and iPads in October 2020.[141] According to SuperData Research, the game had roughly 500 million players worldwide hingga November 2020, with the free-to-play mobile version accounting for 97% of players and the buy-to-play PC version accounting for 3% of players, though it was the buy-to-play PC version that generated 64% of the game's gross revenue.[142] Among Us became one of the best selling games of 2020 on Steam, being listed on the platinum category on "The Year's Top 100" list.[143][144] The Nintendo Switch version's launch sold 3.2 million digital units in December 2020, making it the highest-earning version of the game for the month and one of the best-selling games on the Nintendo Switch.[145][146]

Pada Mei 2021, Among Us ditawarkan sebagai permainan gratis di Epic Games Store selama seminggu. Rata-rata pemain setiap hari melonjak dari sekitar 350.000 pemain dalam beberapa minggu sebelum mencapai lebih dari 2 juta pemain selama berlangsungnya giveaway.[147] Pada 29 Juni 2021, Innersloth melaporkan di Twitter bahwa setidaknya ada 15 juta salinan yang diklaim saat mempromisikan permainan gratis di Epic Games Store.[148]

Among Us has done collaborations and cross-overs with other games and studios. The first game they collaborated with was Fall Guys, who added Among Us-themed skins to their game.[168] Characters from Among Us have made cameos in the indie games Astroneer,[169] Sunshine Heavy Industries,[170] Cosmonious High,[171] and Samurai Gunn 2,[172] and Among Us is referenced in several stickers in the game A Hat in Time.[173] Several Among Us-themed cards are included in The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls Requiem.[174]

Themed skins and cosmetics from other games and properties have been added to Among Us as well: Innersloth and Riot Games crossed-over to bring Arcane themed cosmetics to Among Us.[175] In addition to that Innersloth has also done crossovers with Halo,[176] Ratchet & Clank,[177] and the movie franchise Scream.[178]

Outside of the game itself Innersloth has collaborated with BT21,[179] and Among Us-themed posters were used to advertise the movie Free Guy.[180] The "ejected" animation was referenced in the season 2 trailer for the animated series Snoopy in Space,[181] and the Emergency Meeting screen was used in In Space with Markiplier.[182] Among Us was also featured as a question on Jeopardy![183]

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.[184] 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".[185] In an October 2021 blog posting, Epic Games did credit Innersloth and Among Us as inspirations for the "Impostors" mode.[186]

Among Us is a space-themed game in which a crew of astronauts must complete tasks while trying to figure out who among them is an imposter, who is sabotaging their work and killing the other players. The game has been available for about two years, but viewership of videos related to the game soared last month. There were over 4 billion views of videos related to Among Us in September.

The multiplayer game remained under the radar as many games do — until the summer of the pandemic. Eager to keep viewers entertained during quarantine, Chance Morris, known online as Sodapoppin, began streaming the game, created by InnerSloth, to his 2.8 million followers on Twitch in July. By mid-September, Among Us caught on like wildfire. Suddenly major YouTube stars, TikTok influencers, and streamers were playing it. PewDiePie, James Charles, and Dr. Lupo have all played the game for millions.
