The Origins of Among Us
Among Us was born out of the creative minds at Innersloth, an American game studio. Initially, it was released in June 2018 for iOS and Android platforms, with a Windows version following in November of the same year. The idea began as a simple social deduction game where players work together while also trying to identify the imposters among them.
The development focused on creating a game that would be as fun to watch as it was to play, aiming at simplicity in design but richness in gameplay. What started as a small project quickly captured the hearts of players worldwide, especially when it gained immense popularity in 2020 thanks to streams by popular content creators.
