Impostors

The social deduction genre has gained immense popularity in online gaming, particularly during the 2020 pandemic, thanks to indie games like Among Us. This genre is easy to learn, fun, and highly social, boasting a user base of over 500 million players. This presents an excellent opportunity for Web3 gaming to prosper. Impostors, a game that follows a similar playstyle, aims to expand the gaming ecosystem and economy by introducing new features, tools, and game modes. In this short-format game, players utilize deception and misdirection to identify the murderer among the Impostors, while attempting to divert attention from themselves. Alongside solving challenges and mini-games, players socialize with their fellow Impostors.

For those who have played Among Us, Impostors’ mechanics will be immediately familiar. Once you join a lobby with other players, the game prompts you to select whether you are a crewmate or an impostor. If you choose the latter, your objective is to move around the map cautiously, avoiding arousing suspicion while eliminating crewmates. In contrast, crewmates must complete a predetermined number of tasks scattered throughout the map to win and escape.
