Among Us, published by the American game studio InnerSloth and released on June 15, 2018. The game takes place in a space-themed setting where players each take on one of two roles, most being crewmates, and a set number between 1-3 being Impostors. The crewmates are the players that complete the tasks like connecting wires, dumping trash, and shooting asteroids to win the game. They also can vote to try to kick out the imposter before they kill everyone. The imposters’ job is to kill all the crewmates before they finish their tasks and not get caught in doing so.
