Bored with Among Us? Its Time to Try Out These 5 Indie Games

Among Us has made a huge impact on the world of online gaming that not even the devs at Innersloths could have even imagined. Just yesterday AOC made a tweet that she will be playing Among Us on twitch to get more voters involved in the election. No other game has been able to bring so many people all over the world as Among Us has but as the case is with most gamers who grind the game for hours, it gets really boring real fast. There are only so many times you can keep doing tasks and sabotaging. So if you want to put Among Us on the back burner for while and want to try something else then you are at the right place. Here we have compiled a list of 5 indie games that will get rid of that Among Us burn.

• Town of Salem

  

  Town of Salem is a browser-based game that challenges players on their ability to convincingly lie as well as detect when other players are lying. The game ranges from 7 to 15 players. These players are randomly divided into alignments – Town, Mafia, Serial Killers, Arsonists and Neutrals. If you are a Town member (the good guys) you must track down the Mafia and other villains before they kill you. The catch? You don’t know who is a Town member and who is a villain. If you are an evil role, such as a Serial Killer, you secretly murder town members in the veil of night and try to avoid getting caught.Unlike Among Us, you can play Town of Salem on Andriod, iOS, Windows, and macOS. The game is free to play and it's quite interesting once you get the hang of it.

• Deceit

  

  Deceit tests your instincts at trust and deception in an action-filled, multiplayer first-person shooter. You wake up in unknown surroundings to the sound of the Game Master’s unfamiliar voice. Surrounded by five others, a third of your group have been infected with the Game Master’s deadly virus and tasked with taking down the other innocent players. Innocents must stay alert, traverse the three zones, and escape through the safety hatch as the infected try to pick you off one by one. Deceit combines the frenzy of fast-paced combat mixed with strategic gameplay, and of course the psychological mind games of determining who you can trust. Deceit is only available on Steam for PC players. This is a free game just like Among Us but with a much better storyline.

• Trouble in Terrorist Town

  

  Imagine Among Us but on CS: GO. That is exactly what TTT or Trouble in Terrorist Town is about. Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT) is a game mode included with Garry's Mod. The game is about a group of "terrorists" who have traitors among them, out to kill everyone who's not a traitor. A small number of players is selected as Traitors, who have to kill all the Innocent players (ie. the rest of the players). Those innocents know they are in the majority, but they do not know who is a Traitor and who is not. The Traitors must use the element of surprise and their special equipment if they are to succeed. The Innocent just have to survive, which means finding out who the Traitors are and killing them before they kill you. Of course, everyone is holding a big gun, and everyone looks suspicious. For the Innocent, knowledge is power: who is acting strangely? Who can be linked to evidence found on corpses? Who is still alive, even?

• Unfortunate Spacemen

  

  You want Among us but with amazing graphics and visuals? Here is how you get it. Unfortunate Spacemen is a multiplayer game about space-based murder in space! Spacemen work diligently to be rescued from their failing outpost, but not everyone is who they claim to be... Death is part of life in space, and you're no exception to the rule. Paranoia runs rampant. Survive, hunt, or complete randomized objectives to escape, in desolate settlements, arctic outposts, derelict space stations, warp-speed hyper trains, or ancient dig sites across 15 distinct alien locales, and up to 16 players per match!

• Project Winter

  

  Betray your friends in this 8 person multiplayer focused on social deception and survival. Communication and teamwork is essential to the survivors’ ultimate goal of escape. Gather resources, repair structures, and brave the wilderness together. Just beware that there are traitors within the group who will be steadily gaining strength as the match progresses. Traitors only goal is to stop the survivors by any means necessary. The traitors are outnumbered and weak when the game begins, they may infiltrate the survivors and earn their trust while they build up their strength. Survivors can never be 100% sure of who to trust. The traitors can take advantage of this by spreading lies, and pitting the survivors against each other.
