Everything else in them is completely the same. In parallel, there is another variant of the name – with white letters outlined with a thin line. The rest of the signs are elongated thin as if written in bold felt-tip pen. The differences are in monochrome (the variant of the letter is black and white), in the presence of legs, and a flat sight glass (on the badge, it is convex). “A” is made in the form of a man in a spacesuit, protective suit, and with an oxygen tank on his back. But it can also be attributed to drawn elements because the font is personal, and the first letter in shape resembles the hero of the game. In addition, there is textual symbolism – the name of the game. The costume is bright, consisting of a combination of cherry and red colors. The glass hiding the face has a specific reflection: at the bottom, it is blue, then blue, and at the top – white, which gives the impression of a slight glare. The middle semi-oval is on the back and replaces the balloon backpack. The smallest oval forms the viewport of the spacesuit – it is positioned horizontally. The largest oval forms the hull – it is positioned vertically. The character on the logo consists of three geometric figures outlined with a thick black line along the edge. These elements are not detailed and unrealistic – they are depicted schematically, as if in outline. On the back is an oxygen tank for breathing. They are wearing protective suits and spacesuits.
According to the rules, he can be either a team member or a disguised imposter. The graphics represent the characters in the game. In addition, characters are important for identification because they are the only ones depicted in the logo. Players suspected of being imposters are eliminated from the team by a majority vote of the team members. The impostors plan to secretly sabotage and eliminate crew members who fail to complete all tasks. The players’ goal is to identify the aliens, eliminate them, and complete the tasks indicated on the map.
Most of them are crew members the rest are imposters. Each player gets one of two roles – bad or good character. Players control crew members aboard a spaceship and must determine which of them is an imposter. It was released in 2018 but only gained popularity two years later when internet users became addicted to it during the COVID-19 pandemic. A lot of internet memes also appeared, which in turn influenced the high popularity of the game.Īmong Us is a computer game developed by InnerSloth. In response, products based on the game appeared: t-shirts, toys, T-shirts, etc. There was also criticism – attributed to technical imperfections. The influx of popularity was facilitated by YouTube channel users, Twitch streamers, and, strangely enough, the COVID-19 pandemic.Īfter that came the positive reviews from critics, who praised Among Us for its setting and gameplay. Immediately after its launch in 2018, the game didn’t get enough attention. Parts were added gradually, with The Skeld being the first and The Airship being the last. You can't even fall back on the same successful strategies too often or your opponents will catch on, so sometimes you have to mix things up and maybe even act illogically to keep them guessing.The classic Mafia and the science fiction movie The Thing served as inspiration for the video game. And yet, like so many excellent multiplayer games, it's very tricky to master because it’s about fooling real people, not gaming an AI. But among them are two hidden impostors with the goal of secretly murdering everyone until they equal or outnumber the crew and claim victory. There are still a few technical hitches to be worked out, just like the fussy engines on the Skeld, but that hasn't kept me from coming back to it again and again in my down time.The premise of Among Us is simple enough that just about anyone can pick it up quickly: eight crew members dash around a claustrophobic, cartoon spaceship to complete simple minigames and fill up a shared progress bar. And the great times I've had slaying, lying, and sleuthing my way through its charming sci-fi world got me wondering why it took so long for this sort of game to catch on. Innersloth has made the tense, multiplayer fun of in-person cloak and dagger games like Mafia and Werewolf work on PC, mobile, and consoles with a flourish. It may have originally come out in 2018, but Among Us took 2020 by storm, and it's deserving of that spotlight.
