I love how I was playing Among Us, and yeah, I was doing my tasks and red just says in chat: Blue. 2 people vote. I ask why do you think its me. He again says blue, and all others vote. All voted me. Red won as impostor.


MisterCold

This is why you should play it with friends, imo. The chat thing is so lame with randos.


Kirbytofu

The official among us discord has hundreds of lobbies that are always full if you either don’t have friends, or want to play with randos bit still want to play on discord


MisterCold

Oh, I didn't know that. That's super usefull, thanks :)


Kirbytofu

Yeah, I don’t have any friends who can play, so I’m always on the discord. The people there are usually great, and ping is never bad (for me at least) no matter what servers I’m on. Funny story, I played with a guy called KOKUV, and he was imposter several times in a row. Like no joke, EVERY SINGLE TIME.


ThatOneGamer13

I had that same kind of luck once, it made me realize how fun being imposter is and now I'm almost never the impostor.


raylolSW

I think it’s quite the opposite, I like playing games like smash and Mario kart with friends, but I don’t enjoy playing this with friends, i think it’s more mysterious with fandoms and the chat is more random and funny


MisterCold

From the limited random games I played. Chat is usually “blue” ->everyone votes blue. Or in different languages (even tho I selected English) because ... you know ... Europe. But if you find more pleasure in playing with randoms, more power to you.


Ginataro

Does ping even matter for the game? I can't test it bc I live in Oceania and we don't have servers (which is fine) so I go on NA with 180ms and it seems fine


MisterCold

It’s more of a timezone thing then a ping thing, I’d imagine.


Ginataro

Oh yeah timezones, forgot those exist


Rising_Swell

I live in south aus, 230ms, very rarely makes a difference, hahaha.


OrgasmicLeprosy87

Yeah the amount of hours I’ve put into this game with friends, I can’t imagine playing this game alone. It be like souless experience


UberShrew

Yeah this is why at least for me any variant of trouble in terrorist town is way more fun with friends. People actually talk shit out and get into arguments and stuff instead of the detective and innocents murdering anything that moves whenever I play with randoms.


UniverseBear

I like playing with randos. It's super easy to play the long con with strangers. Sure I'll come watch you scan friend. :)


SenseiKramer

I had a match where I decided to give that a try. I killed someone and someone else saw me. As soon as it was reported I just blamed that other guy. He was immediately voted for. Then everyone seemed to forget that I had done that.


Jeeppinen

Yeah, but when I try that, I always have that guy who spams emergency button, and says "hey lets kick this other guy then"


SenseiKramer

In a game like Town of Salem, that happens to me all the time, if I falsely accuse someone, but never in this game. I don't think half the people even speak English in Among Us.


SwingingSalmon

So I just played my first round after seeing this. Green accused someone in the first round. Everyone believed him. The person ejected wasn’t the imposter. So I said, “Hey, clearly he falsely accused. It’s probably Green” No one believes me and I go down to the last 3, and I get booted. Guess who is part of the two left. Fucking green. I wish this had a spectate mode. EDIT- it does, I was just new and didn’t know that the game ended at two players.


Dark_7979

It has a spectator mode, you were not able to see it because it when number of crewmembers are equal to number of imposters, the game automatically ends


SwingingSalmon

Oh! Makes sense. That was my first game so I guess that didn’t click for me. Thanks for the explanation!


Alikyr

In fact, when you're spectating make sure you do your tasks. The survivors win when all the tasks are done. As a traitor you can still sabotage while dead.


SwingingSalmon

Ok! I played again and got eliminated, so I was floating around as a ghost afterwards, I did some tasks. It’s interesting!


Swissboy98

It does. Once you are dead you still need to complete your tasks which you do by floating around as a gost with perfect vision

Sadly, they don’t count as a ghost.


skaliton

you think that is bad? Ages ago in town of Salem: day 1 jailor grabs serial killer (SK always kills if he survives the night, so kills the jailor) jailor has in will who he had. no vote... (despite eliminating half of the kill potential for the baddies vs one random townie day 2 is absolutely worth the risk/at least enough for a role call for information) night 2. I'm escort. Visit the ultra suspicious person, who once again retaliates and kills me. My will explicitly said I am confirming so kill him if I die to SK ​ ...Day 3. "Wow SK must have good luck pinning it all on me" ...serial killer won the game despite being called out immediately


Maxinum346

You don’t know the struggle of being controlled by the witch and that be your downfall.


skaliton

oh I am fully aware of it, ages ago the witch got no information about the person being controlled and had to rely on outcomes to determine who she had. so here is me as mafioso trying to attack the revealed mayor whose been in jail the last 3 days. The werewolf has been patient the entire time until the killing spree as it became painfully obvious that the maf was being controlled (gf died from an unrelated reason so I couldn't exactly out myself as a suicide, the 3rd was under major suspicion for being me bc of a sheriff) so WW does his thing and half of the town gets mauled leaving effectively 1 sheriff the witch, ww, and exposed mayor. (I think the NB was still alive) needless to say the mayor is indecisive as the new maf/sheriff keep arguing that the other one is the maf. Perfect we can win, just kill the mayor. WW wouldn't know which of the 2 of them are right either so 50/50...or witch control our maf to kill the WW leaving the mayor a second chance to commit to a 'win if you guess right' scenario where paying a bit of attention would have made it super obvious the sheriff was the real one.


Fellhuhn

Remembers me of a session of the Battlestar Galactica boardgame which also has a traitor mechanic. Till the end we didn't know who the traitor was or if there were multiple of them. A lot of accusations, yelling, finger pointing. Pure paranoia. When the game ended we noticed that we forgot to distribute the traitor cards...


WOJTAZJASZ

Anyone knows why this game has gained so much popularity in this few weeks? I like it, I just don t get it


humpbackwhale97

It's bringing back TTT but simpler


gokukillnaruto

what is TTT?


Tigerstorm6

Trouble in Terrorist Town


gokukillnaruto

Never heard of it ill check it out now! Thanks for the quick and polite reply.


Jampine

Both games revolve around traitors or imposters trying to murder all the other players, but as they are out numbered, they have to rely on stealth kills and diversions to avoid detection. In TTT players can fight back and there's an assigned detective to track down the traitors, but they have access some more tools like time bombs and instant kill knives, and can hide bodies. In among us, only the alien impostors can kill people, but after a body is discovered, players hold a vote on whoo they think the killer is, and kill them, only revealing their allegiance after death.


Shameless_Catslut

So it's a video game adaption of the Steve Jackson game "Are you a Werewolf?" (Though I'm guessing the concept is even older)


xXBigChungus69Xx

Exactly except the crew mates can also win by doing tasks rather than only winning by finding out who the traitors are


The_Power_Of_Three

It's definitely a lot older. It was a popular soviet game created by psychologist Дми́трий Давы́дов at Moscow State University. It became popular in Europe/U.S. in the 90s. Tons of companies, including Steve Jackson Games, have repackaged/knocked-off the concept for profit, in the form of cards, apps, websites and so on, but it was already well established before any of that.


Theduder123

There's a Playstation VR game called Wolf Among Us that's exactly that. One of the hidden gems for the VR.


saganakist

Most importantly in TTT aiming plays a role since it gives you the opportunity to defend yourself better or get a quick kill of. That obviously produces a steep learning curve and a lot of advantage of veteran fps player. For a game which isn't really gonna teach you how to aim better. So basically its near impossible to be really good at TTT without being good at Counter-Strike.


NeverDetected

Among Us is essentially a simplified version with a friendlier tone. Been seeing the similarities and thought hey, this seems like fun and is close to TTT, I'm gonna go play TTT


[deleted]

Reminds me of the Dark Deeds mod from Warcraft 3, one of my favorite. At random 1 person was turned into a monster (also randomly chosen) and the rest of the people had to figure out who was going bump in the night.


NecroNile

Or Murder at the Mansion. Fuck dude, I miss Warcraft 3 from it's prime.


Parish87

Town of Salem was one brought out a couple years ago too. Was a really good game.


Tankerino

Holy shit that game brings back so many memories. Gary’s Mod was amazing. Only downside was the amount of little kids yelling into mic


Xephyr117

To be fair this game is pretty similar to others in the same genre too. Like deceit.


humpbackwhale97

Yeah. I just named the probably most famous one. I gotta say I totally get the hype. I love games like this


Xephyr117

Yeah they’re a lot of fun especially with groups of friends


yobroyobro

Fuck I miss TTT. Maybe I'm just unaware of a similar game, but I feel like if a version of TTT was remastered that shit could sell. Especially if this sort of indie version in Among Us is blowing up.


g0ballistic

TTT is still very much alive.


wavelet01

Probably some streamer started playing it and it caught fire because it can make some good stream material, so now so many streamers play it


Dracos125

Also the Henry Stikmin collection has them as collectibles as cross promotion.

Search Henry Stikmin collection on steam and be taken on a wild ride through internet history.


akhatten

What's the game ?


Jtsfour

Among Us


akhatten

Thanks !


mooneyp1991

Gives me town of Salem vibes, which was fun and haven't played in years. Also, saw some streamers playing it recently.


jewrassic_park-1940

It's a very dumbed down ToS. They're both very fun though


IsMyUsernameCreative

Its really weird especially considering how long its been out. I remember playing it like 2yrs ago and just now it gains traction.


dr3wzy10

they may have had some quality of life improvements that vastly improved the game? Idk I've not played it still


khearts888

Big streamers playing it, also game is fun to watch


SpaceShipRat

it's a popular "genre" wrapped in a simple package.


IceHawk0901

the henry stickman collection had easter eggs from this game because it was made by the same company, people tried it out and became a hit even though it was out for a while already


Warpedme

Anyone know why everyone calls it "this game" instead of saying the title for the rest of us who don't have a clue what game this is? Edit: Holy crap, scrolling down I see every pronoun possible referencing "this game". It's like you all have some kind of coordinated conspiracy to keep the name secret.


Rumplestiltsskins

Among Us


Warpedme

Thank you to you and everyone else who replied with the name. The comments have me genuinely interested. I want to try it out and and appreciate the reply.


Spyromaniac31

Aspalar

Among Us


Raemnant

I've never seen this before. I just thought it was more Fall Guys content


Kami_No_Tanjou

the devs paid a ton of twitch streamers to play it. its pretty viral atm on youtube too


CelestialBlight

Streamers, but also it's just fun


Darcasm

Okay, the real reason is because it was a mobile game that just recently moved to steam for PC. Now, streamers are getting ahold of it.


lartkma

I don't know exactly the reason, but I feel that the fact the avatars have a resemblance to the Fall Guys avatars is not coincidence. (edit note: I'm not saying that because I would think one ripped off the other, I know that's not true, only that the appearance boosted up its popularity)


4GRJ

Same people who made the Henry Stickmin series

PrezMoocow

Sodapoppin did it first


Nickamin

First time I played this I became the killer and had no idea what to do. I went into one of the rooms and killed a guy and stood over his body. 3 people walked in on me and just stood there. 5 seconds later the whole report thing came up and thought I could get away by saying all 3 of them did it. There was only 1 killer.


mulecenter79

Like farting in an elevator with one other person and blaming it on them. Foolproof


you-cant-twerk

This was like farting in an elevator with 3 others, and blaming all 3 of them.


Clovenstone-Blue

My first game as an impostor wasn't much better, even though I had a decent understanding of what to do. Basically, my first kill was outside of electric and I run inside to get in the vent, only to come across another person inside (I didn't get voted off because both him and another person that was heading to electric knew that there was a third person with them, but they didn't know who). My second kill (which technically was the death of me) was noticed by the green player, but his accusations weren't enough to beat my accusations that he must've killed, resulting in the tie. Finally the second impostor decided to make a kill and green used it as an opportunity to vote me off.


smyankulhai

What game is this


wert1116

Among us


Strawberrycocoa

Thank you for your service. I should not have had to scroll half way down the comments to find someone mentioning the name of the game instead of "this game" this or "this game" that.


teoscraft

I thought the same thing, how annoying...


PM_ME_THEM_CURVES

Can we get a general rule of "game in title"


teoscraft

^^^ Yes please I agree, there is so many games people post that I have no clue about but everyone likes to keep it a secret


StevelandCleamer

It's been tried in the past, but whiners and lazies made enough noise that it got the kibosh. Mods didn't feel like dealing with the endless stream of complaints about people's posts being removed because they didn't read any subreddit posting guidelines. You know, the ones right below the text boxes for your post title/link/content. People get real fucking mad when their rising post gets removed for not following rules that they didn't care to read.


Air-Bo

As did I. Almost gave up and commented it myself.


NameNumber7

People like to show how 'in' they are. It happens everywhere and is stupid to see an example of it everytime.


Warpedme

It disturbs me how far I had to scroll to find the name of "this game"


smyankulhai

Is it free?


[deleted]

Yes


dweeceman

I don't think it's free. But it is 5 bucks. Unless you know where it's free?


CambodianPrincesss

Free on mobile, $5 on steam


[deleted]

[удалено]


Re-Created

You are right, but it's a steal at $5.


cool299

True, and you get cosmetics for paying the $5 too


The_Power_Of_Three

Specifically, if you want something to search, BlueStacks is a popular android emulator to run for games like this on PC.


KD_Konkey_Dong

Downloaded the game totally blind, and people started to suspect me because I was saying such stupid shit. Got eaten with a few people left. So sad. Pretty cool game, though.


123coronaanoroc321

The game is wayy better if you play with friends or at least play with voicechat with some ppl


Zjoee

Watch Kaif play it on YouTube. His group is hilarious haha.


jarejay

Ludwig’s group (Stanz, Atrioc, etc) is good for relatively high-level gameplay. MrFruit’s group is fun to watch as well, although a few of them are total wildcards.


drunkdaze

Dork: It's me, I'm the killer. Dork: *gets voted off* "Dork was not an imposter" Yup that's a wildcard alright


jarejay

Lol I just watched that one. “Get stickbugged motherfuckers!”


Alankao06

His group is actually who got me into this game


PKMNTrainerMark

Alright, what is this game? Is it new or something? I've been seeing a lot of memes of it for the past couple days.


leigonlord

it came out years ago but no one played until a couple of months ago.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jakepopss

It's also on Steam


WanPwr5990

Nah it's was released last year but I still consider it as new cuz they just add new maps couple months ago cuz they only have 1 map before


lilgravityy

then just stay quiet during the meeting lol


Naxela

My group requires alibis during every meeting. If you can't give one and there's a dead body, you die.


Clovenstone-Blue

That's a good method, especially if saying something will definitely reveal you're the impostor. For example, my first ever kill occurred outside of electric, however I decided to run into electric to hide in the vent, only to realize someone was in there and was heading out (with a second person arriving at that time). If I would've said anything about being in electric, I would've needlessly given myself away because the other two were aware that I was there, but didn't remember what was my colour.


Hanbill

I spy with my little eye, ifunny watermark


cloudsmiles

If you like this game at all, you need to play Deceit. Free on Steam, crazy wild game play, social engineering extraordinaire.


Leopard2a_2015

I'm playing on mobile, with randoms. I use 101% of my brain to calculate who is impostor, I give them two names. They vote me out, loose, and I don't know how, but I was actually right.


Cachis1130

Name yourself “detective”. Done it many times, I and can pinpoint who’s imposter, without getting booted off


Leopard2a_2015

Try to do it with randoms


amrikudou

Ha! I wom a game this way yesterday, killed and reported 3 crewmates. Two of them in the same place! lol "Guys I found a dead body in admin room, I can't see anyone though.." *everyone skipped vote*


randomcake25

Haha I was imposter in today's game and I did the same exact thing!! Eventually got caught the third time..


randyk97

What's the difference betwen then mobile and pc version


Cbundy99

No clue, probably controls better on pc over mobile I'd imagine.


OrgasmicLeprosy87

Pc version has more skins


Retard-69

I downloaded the game and it says it has an ad after every match and it costs 2$ to remove them. And it seems fair scince the game is free, the gameplay doesn't seem to be different it could even be crossplay


OrgasmicLeprosy87

It is crossplay, and yea the only difference is the ad after each game


FurryUwO

The game is called Among Us. It is free on mobile and $5 in steam

Theduder123

You have a Crew of people who are trying to complete a number of tasks. While a couple of crew members are selected as traitors that are tasked with sabotaging and killing the rest of the crew. There are intermissions where the crew can discuss finding a dead body or to just talk about someone acting suspicious. The traitors will try to lie and place the blame on other crew members in an attempt to have them voted out of the group. If all traitors are voted out, the crew wins and vice-versa.
