Gnosia is best described as a single-player version of Among Us. This visual novel follows a survivor of an alien invasion, who is stuck on an escape rocket with 14 other refugees, at least one of whom is an impostor. The catch? The protagonist is trapped in a time loop, and the impostor is someone else with each go around.
Unlike other social deduction games, Gnosia emphasizes the story. Each character has a distinct personality and elaborate backstory, and the mystery of the time loop will keep you glued to the screen. There are even RPG mechanics, such as stats that determine how good you are at spotting lies.

Death Note Killer Within is an online social deduction game based on the hit anime series. Two teams, one made of detectives and one loyal to Kira, must compete to outsmart each other in a battle of wits. As the good guys, your goal is to figure out who on the opposing side has the Death Note. Meanwhile, the bad guys must deduce who among the heroes is L.
Just like the anime, the game is a thrilling chess match as both teams try to unravel the other's identities. Keep in mind that the Death Note can get passed to other players, which opens up a whole new layer of strategy.

Crossplay?
No
A game where everyone is a potential murderer or a potential victim would be very similar to Among Us, and luckily, that is exactly what Murderous Pursuits is. It’s a kill-or-be-killed environment where you have to lurk and try to blend in while also searching for your target and weapons to use.
Unfortunately, reviews have complained about a lack of an online community, so if you do plan on playing this game, make sure you have a few friends to play with or be prepared to play with bots.

If you are looking for a game with silly, bubbly characters like the crewmates from Among Us, Fall Guys would be a great option. It's an online battle royale game where you compete with other players.
While you can choose to sabotage other players, the main goal is to win by either completing a few obstacles or being the last one standing. There are multiple game modes available to play as well. The best part, though? Fall Guys is free to download!

Phasmophobia is a fun online game to play with friends where, instead of working together to complete tasks or take out crewmates, you identify ghosts. You are equipped with ghost-chasing gear such as spirit boxes and EMF readers so you can properly become the ghostbuster you’ve always wanted to be.

PostsYou must complete contracts by getting proof of certain ghosts, identifying the specters, and then cleansing the area of all supernatural activity. It sounds pretty simple, but it can be rather scary. Just like Among Us, it can get pretty tense rather quickly.

The 2002 The Thing game got a fresh remastered version to be enjoyed on multiple platforms with revamped graphics. It picks up directly after the events of John Carpenter’s The Thing movie and could be considered the second part.
Among Us was heavily inspired by The Thing during its development.
You play as Captain Blake, who is a part of the rescue team that is supposed to investigate what exactly happened in Outpost 31. Unfortunately, you will have to deal with close encounters with the shapeshifting alien that had attacked the men of the outpost.

The first thing to note about Betrayal.io is that you can play it on your computer browser or phone, so you can try it out for free. It directly references Among Us as one of its inspirations, and you can see it in the gameplay. It works exactly like Among Us, with crewmates, impostors (known as "betrayers" here), the ability to vent, and meetings to smoke out the saboteurs.
Betrayal.io's art style and tasks are different from Among Us, which gives the game some freshness. Since it's free and pretty easy to access, trying out Betrayal.io is a good way to figure out whether games like Among Us suit playing with your friends.

Dubbed 'Amongoose' by many players, Goose Goose Duck is another game that works quite similarly to Among Us. There's an extra layer of silliness to it though, seeing as how you play as cartoon ducks and geese with big googly eyes. Still, it doesn't change the game's mission: do your tasks and find the duck(s) before all the geese die at their hands or get away with murder as a killer.
It offers a surprisingly large amount of game modes, as well as over 50 roles and a bunch of maps and cosmetics. Needless to say, the replayability of Goose Goose Duck is off the charts, maybe even more so than Among Us.

If you have the itch for a game like Among Us but also crave something a bit different, SpyParty is perfect. Firstly, it's a game for two people rather than a group, so you'll have to put effort into blending in so you don't get caught. One of you plays the spy, while the other is the sniper.
As the spy, you have to hide in plain sight at a cocktail party for the elite while accomplishing different objectives for your mission. As the sniper, you have to figure out which one of the party guests is the spy and put a permanent end to them. It's one of those games that sounds simple enough, but it'll likely put your discreetness and perception skills to the test.
SpyParty is still in early access on Steam and has been since 2018. It's still a complete game that you should be able to play with no issues, but it may change in the future.
