After noticing that Among Us was featured in the recent Fanatical Stand With Ukraine bundle and being unable to find a forum-thread for the game, I couldn't help but wonder how many folks here play it (whether new to it via the bundle, or as a long-time player)? I have it on Steam, and it works fine under Proton; For those who have them, the game is marked as Playable on the Steam Deck. Interestingly, some of the current possible randomly-generated names for your character contain the name "Tux", so hopefully the devs are aware of their Linux players and the compatibility won't change in the future!

If you've somehow not heard of it (not likely on GOL, but you never know!), Among Us is a video game version of the classic Mafia/Werewolf game, where the majority of players (who don't know the roles of the others) are a helpless group, and a minority of the players (who know each other's role) can covertly kill off the rest. I remember seeing variants of this game played over text-based internet forums when I was a teenager, and it's a great fit for a video game - this one being like a cartoonish version of The Thing.


Do your tasks, everybody!


There's always one party-pooper...

I played in an amusing game recently where I was an Impostor who was given the Shapeshifter role, and I dispatched another player only to then be spotted by the very player whose appearance I had taken. The roles were reversed in another round where a Shapeshifter disguised with my own character's look got rid of me, instead!

I play a match or two most days, since it's usually not super-time-consuming unless you end up in a game where someone's set the voting time unreasonably high, and it's always a good laugh. Anybody else?
