Gameplay
The gameplay in Among Us is fairly simple, but it's also the most crucial part of the game. To successfully identify the Impostors, players have to interrogate other players in the hopes of finding the Impostors. Interrogating is done by guessing the other player's role. The player must choose from the other player's role card and a list of possible roles. The player who is interrogated then has to choose the one that they think the player is. If the player is incorrect, then the player interrogating may gain a clue. If the player is correct, then the player is eliminated. There are two types of clues: general, which is the same for every player, and specific, which is based on the person's role.
