Among Us was inspired by the Mafia RPG, which in this case has a sci-fi theme. Random players are divided into two teams: the crew of the spaceship and the traitors existing among its members. The crew does not know which of its members are traitors, and try to get ahead of them with a vote that kills any character. The crew wins if it manages to destroy all the traitors or complete all the tasks assigned to the crew. The traitors win if they manage to kill enough of the crew members without being caught, or if they complete a big sabotage - for example, cutting off the oxygen supply or exploding the reactor.
Despite the fact that that Among Us came out back in 2018, she gained immense popularity only in 2020, which was facilitated by videos dedicated to her and streaming on YouTube and Twitch. As of November 2020, Among Us had over 500 million players worldwide. In addition, the game won some prestigious awards: Best Multiplayer Game and Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards 2020, as well as Breakthrough of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards. At the peak of Among Us's popularity, the developers announced a sequel - the second part of the game, but then they canceled it, announcing that they would develop the first game.
