What it is
Among Us 3D is a multiplayer social deduction party game from Schell Games, released in 2022. It brings tasks, sabotage, emergency meetings and venting into a 3D setting for crews of 4–10 players. In Classic play, Crewmates work to finish tasks or eject the Impostor, while the Impostor tries to deceive and eliminate the crew. Additional options include Roles, Tag Mode and Custom Lobbies. Roles include familiar and game-specific characters, while Tag Mode pits Infected players against Crewmates. Players can adjust gameplay, comfort and safety settings. The game is listed for Windows and includes online multiplayer, co-op, cross-platform multiplayer, PvP and tracked controller support. The Steam listing also marks it as VR-only and includes in-app purchases. The 3D version is not compatible with, and does not crossplay with, the original Among Us game.
