"Among Us' became more popular since the start of the pandemic. While the game is already interesting, some players tweak the game's settings and set some rules to create a mini-game within the online multiplayer social deduction game. Here are the rules, settings, as well as tips, and tricks on how to play "Among Us" as a horror game.
"Among Us" Horror Game Rules
To make sure that the mini-game is played right, players must strictly adhere to the house rules. For one, Impostors are not allowed to sabotage anything on the map. They are also prohibited from using the vent. Crewmates are not allowed to report dead bodies or call for emergency meetings. But, they can communicate with other cremates at all times.
This horror mini-game is funny, especially when crewmates yell when they find an impostor or when they are being chased down. Additionally, it allows crewmates to keep track of the position of the killer. In this game, the goal is very simple: Crewmates need to complete their tasks before the whole crew is killed. Meanwhile, the Impostor needs to kill all crewmates before they finish their tasks.
"Among Us" Horror Game Settings
To make sure that everyone is on the same page and enjoys the horror mini-game in Among Us," participants must tweak the game's settings. The Kill Cooldown should be set to the lowest possible, which is 10 seconds. This way, Impostors could really act like serial killers.
It is also important to limit their vision range to 0.25x to make it more challenging for them to locate crewmates. Moreover, players should set all players' movement speed to a higher level, probably around 2x or 3x.
How To Play "Among Us" Horror Mini-Game
In the horror mini-game, there is only one Impostor and nine crewmates. However, the Impostor announces who they are at the start of the match. The Impostor counts to ten while the crewmates run to get out of the Impostor's sight.
Crewmates complete tasks, hide, and run to evade the Impostor as soon as he starts to hunt the crew. In this mini-game, voting is not necessary, as crewmates only need to complete tasks and survive. Players can set additional house rules when playing this horror mini-game in "Among Us."
They could also adjust the Settings to whatever that best suits them. It is crucial that they only play this game with their close friends and loved ones and not with random players they meet online.
"Among Us" is currently playable on PC, iOS, and Android devices.
