Unofficial subreddit for the game Among Us by Innersloth. Play online or over local WiFi with 4-15 players as a Crewmate or an Impostor. Crewmates can win by completing all tasks or discovering and voting the Impostor off the ship. The Impostor can use sabotage to cause chaos, making for easier kills and better alibis. Choose from 5 maps and 1-3 Impostors to better suit your own playstyle!

What is Among Us?

Among Us is an online multiplayer social deduction game developed and published by American game studio Innersloth. It was released on iOS and Android devices in June 2018 and on Microsoft Windows in November 2018, featuring cross-platform play between these platforms. The game was also released on the Nintendo Switch in December 2020, and has planned releases for the Xbox One and Xbox Series X and Series S in 2021. The game takes place in a space-themed setting, in which players each take on one of two roles, most being Crewmates, and a predetermined number being Impostors. The goal of the Crewmates is to identify the Impostors, eliminate them, and complete tasks around the map; the Impostors' goal is to covertly sabotage and kill the Crewmates before they complete all of their tasks. Players suspected to be Impostors may be eliminated via a plurality vote, which any player may initiate by calling an emergency meeting (except during a crisis) or reporting a dead body. Crewmates win if all Impostors are eliminated or all tasks are completed whereas Impostors win if there is an equal number of Impostors and Crewmates, or if a critical sabotage goes unresolved.

AITA for calling out imp partners who don't kill?

I've had this crap a few times over the last week, my partner will just goof about and if I get caught I'll make a comment about my partner being useless. If my partner gets flippant like "You're just a bad imp" then I'll snitch.

AITA?

Sorry, let me rephrase this. The imps I'm annoyed at are the kind who just constantly sabotage things and close doors without even attempting to kill. They just drag the game on forever .

A percentage of Squid Game numbers as usernames are rejected by the server

As I was gearing up to host Squid Game: Judgement Night on Among Us as a Hide&Seek lobby, I tried to enter in 455 as my username because it is 456 minus one. The server rejected the number (sadge) as well as 452 and who knows what else. 456, 457, and most others work just fine. What may be the reason for this?

The Imposter audiobook

I write horror creepypasta and share them on YouTube, and I thought some of you might enjoy my Among Us-inspired story, The Imposter.

You may have seen it before when I’ve posted the text version. Anyway, it’s a tense, paranoia-fueled tale that goes far beyond the game—and trust me, it’s probably better than the thumbnail makes it look.

Give it a listen if you’re up for some something a bit different!

What does this error message mean and how can I fix it?

Every time I enter a server since last year or so I get this error message after a couple seconds after joining.

What does it mean and how can I fix it so I can play again

(I’m on PS5 if that helps)

Thanks!

Are there new parasite bots or something crashing the servers?

Today i was playing on north america servers, after which all of a sudden, in the first lobby that i joined, a red player without any accessories on the player model joined the game and said something along the lines of "parasite bots have infected the server" or "this server now belongs to parasite empire" (i dont remember). After that, my game froze. I restarted the game and it was working as usual, then i joined a lobby where the lobby host was saying in the chat "THIS LOBBY IS HOSTED BY AN AI, AND CANNOT BE CRASHED BY PARASITE BOTS"

Are there parasite bots in the game now?

Karma exists Ladies and Gentlemen :)

Seriously, I have never been so happy to win a game, I don't want to let this go.

I was Red and I played Impostor (normal without gimmicks) with two other teammates, a few moments later, Lime starts to say that it's me, I haven't even killed, I've never gotten into a duct at that point in the game, neither did he, he said an argument as to why they should vote for me, he was just accusing me because yes, fortunately the accusations towards another crew member were stronger and we ended up firing him.

However, moments later, Yellow pressed the button and he was also accusing me saying "Red is always an imposter", although he had no reason to accuse me either and he didn't even make arguments, fortunately most of the lobby ended up giving the skip, so I was saved .

But the worst of all is that one of my companions, Cyan, had killed Brown in communications, but after reporting the body, Yellow says "It's Cyan yes or yes, Brown plays with me and he's my partner, he told me that Cyan "It's an impostor" this was already the last straw, a crew member accuses me because yes, another also accuses me just to throw the lot, and that same person cheats using his friend, this obviously made my blood boil and I ended up reproaching yellow for playing dirty .

After Cyan was expelled, Rose presses the button and says that I am the imposter because I was defending him, let's see, I was Cyan's teammate, but I never defended him, it is completely different that I reproached Yellow for what he did . But worst of all, when I complained again about that and the unfairness of this game, Rose told me "So? It's a game"... Dude, I just experienced possibly the most idiotic player I've ever seen, he literally defended the dirty trap of playing teams and that yellow left the bar high, the worst thing is that the others agree with him and end up voting me (yellow hurting me verbally to add).

But here comes the best part, my other impostor companion, Green, does a sabotage and ends up killing Yellow in the process (That in itself meant celebrating for me), but that's not all, the crew didn't have time to fix oxygen AND WE ENDED UP WINNING. (DOUBLE PRIZE YES SIR) The best of all is that in the lobby my green companion insults Rose because of her nickname.

Seriously, it was one of the most satisfying things I could witness, that whole lobby was complete idiots and I thank Green with all my heart for making them lose :')

Practise mode is underrated

Why don’t more people use practice mode it’s literally the quickest and easiest way to learn any map. You can explore as much as you like, do any task you want, play as any role (imp or crew) and so much more with any settings you want and with no risk of being killed or voted out. It’s such an underrated tool and it’s much faster and way more effective than joining a game on a map you don’t know and fumbling around because you have no idea where you’re going. I usually play on airship and fungle and I always hear “idk this map” like just go learn it on practice mode then. You don’t have to go in blind and be useless.

Why do people hate afk kills?

I’ve noticed that a lot of expert lobbies have rules and that even if there are only a couple rules “no afk killing” is one of them. Some say “no afk killing until r3,” but still. If they are afk then they aren’t playing anyway, what’s the harm in killing them. If they are gonna come back in a few rounds I still don’t really understand the harm. They might die when they are moving, so why should I spare them if they are standing still and in a place easy to kill. They can do their tasks easier as a ghost anyway. To be clear, I don’t break lobby rules that hosts set, I’m just questioning why this is a rule in the first place.

Dumbest group ever, what should I have done differently?

To set the stage 6 people left to start this round. One on cams(brown), 2 people cleared from trash(yellow and gray), me (green)cleared because there was only one imposter and I was with one guy the whole round, 2 other guys one was sitting afk under the camera(white) and coral just running around. Imposter kills cam guy, gray finds the body and I tell every it has to be white or coral. We skip. Lights turn off and and everyone goes to ele but me I stay on button. The imp ss into me and kills white. They report and blame me but I tell them it’s shape shift and explain deductive reasoning that if 3 of us are cleared then it has to be the last guy– coral. They vote me out and lose the game. What can I do next time to insure this doesn’t happen again besides playing with smarter people. I do give credit to coral the imposter because he was making the others trust them by saying he was with one of them he couldn’t have possibly killed the guy, even tho the body was cold and had been there awhile. To add on to it as soon as the game starts everyone goes to admin to swipe card I stand off to the side and don’t swipe and see a stack kill it was blue and everyone trusted me and voted him off…

I hate hackers who lie and say they say you vent/or kill.

I’m honestly so mad right now. Not because I got caught. But because someone who’s obviously either: a. teaming b. hacking

  • LIED and said they saw me vent which is not true at all. They were near me, however I didn’t vent nor was it an ss who vented as me. It’s just frustrating that they gaslight you into thinking maybe there was a chance you vented but you know you didn’t. Ugh!

Edit: I hate hackers who lie and say they SAW you vent/ and or kill.

Play with the chat filter on.

"OP Is sus!"

"I'm sus for cat******oral i guess"

Try and guess what i said there. If i didn't have the chat filter on, i'd suspect what i said was logical and i should not be voted off. Since i did have it on, i knew that the common clay of skeld didn't understand what i said and got a 2nd shot to defend myself from being voted off. I was still voted off but that's a completely different issue that has no solution.

Scummy impostor team mate.

A few weeks ago, I had an impostor team mate who snitched on me even when I didn't do anything. He said "I saw Tan ss." He also snitched on the other impostor too. I'm pretty sure we lost but I didn't really mind. Then, I came across him in another lobby doing the same scummy stuff. This is a pretty unique encounter. Have you ever encountered anyone like this player?
