What is Among Us?

In 2020, the Cluedo 2.0 It’s called Among Us, and it goes from being played on a cardboard board to an iPhone 11 or a Samsung Galaxy Note.
Who does not remember those Sunday afternoons with the family when he was a teenager playing Cluedo?
It was one of the games that marked a before and after in the stage between La Oca, Tic Tac Toe, or Tragabolas and what we called “senior games.”
This game takes us from that 19th-century Victorian house where it was necessary to discover who had committed the crime of Dr. Black.
A very typical of the best sellers of Agatha Christie or Jessica Fletcher, to a spaceship where a group of players

The crewmates (from 4 to 10) must discover the impostor or impostors (there may be one to three, depending on the number of players).
They aim to assassinate the rest of the crew, trying not to discover.
In addition to having to discover the impostor, the crew will have to carry out a series of missions.

Since this can also sabotage the ship:

When the game begins, the player does not know who it is going to be.
If the “impostor” or crewmate message appears on your screen, that role assigns to you.
Therefore, a critical factor in behavior comes into play: chance (if we had to choose our character, our behavior would surely be different).
Something that works the same when we open loot boxes or FIFA loot chests make sports bets, play roulette, or play a game in a slot.
It is a “kick” of dopamine.
Only for computer and mobile
The game, released in June 2018, is designing and developing for desktop and mobile, but it will be a long time before it reaches consoles.

As for the statistics are breaking all the rules since it is surprising that an independent game

In addition, it is the game with the most viewers on the Twitch broadcast platform,with Fortnite, Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, and League of Legends.
Thanks to the virtualization community itself and the gamers, YouTubers, and influencers, the popularity has reached the virtualization of the community itself.
They publish it on their channels.
Other applications have jumped on the bandwagon to take advantage of the pull, such as WhatsApp and the Sticker Maker app.
