Among Us is a social deduction game made by American game developer Innersloth LLC. The game was inspired by the party game Mafia^[10][11] and the science fiction horror movie The Thing.^[11] It was released for iOS and Android on June 15, 2018, for PC on Steam on November 16, 2018. It was also released on itch.io on August 17, 2018. Among Us follows a crew being killed one at a time by one or more Impostors. The game got very popular in late 2020 because many Twitch streamers and YouTubers have played it.
