Among us - But better?
https://ad.gamersky.info/@steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2827122367

By the look of Traitors in Salem (in short now TIS) and by the knowledge that "Among us" is a thing, we all dont need to fight over the fact that TIS was created because of the Among us hype is a thing... But that, a lot other games did the same and they did better than Among us but...how good is TIS actually?

Well if i tell you that they created a mod based on TIS(/TOS) FOR Among us should say a lot...

About the "better" part
https://ad.gamersky.info/@steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2829103783

Ok, lets begin with the negative and the only bad thing TIS has against Among us, basically:
It has only a very very small community.
Not many people play it and if you look for a match you basically have to look around or go on to look for games only on some special hours a day. This is basically the ONLY "BAD" thing this game has, its not much known because of that.

Else?
Well lets see...
First of all, the cartoonish look from TIS is actually pretty nice and makes it feel way more "alive" than the "Beans" of Among us. No offense but i rather play someone i can identify with than some blob thing. Next to this in some reviews i read that "theres like 2 roles and nobody plays it". The people which wrote such reviews have actually VAC banns and mostly a play time from around 0.X hours - aka, not even 30 minutes of play time.

So only 2 roles eh? Well...

I mean i duno if people are blind but already on this picture i can count 15 on them - and over all does the game provide over 25 roles for sure, "Townie" AND "Traitor" roles together. This makes the game actually more active than so much compared among us which added lately just some roles which basically didnt add much nor did they change a lot gameplay - wile in TIS, some roles, good or bad, can change the gameplay a lot. Just to count up some:

- Normally, a traitor doesnt "wanna get seen" if they kill someone...but than there is the Jester role which, in fact, wanna get hung by the towns people because he has the ability to possess the towns people as ghost which, in fact, is a very strong traitor role to have if the jester can get hung pretty early in game.

- Same can be said as another Townie role. Normally, as Townie, you should try to stay alive and investigate who could be "the bad guy"...but than there is the Saint role which, in fact, is a role where you should get killed from the said bad guy. Why? Ones a Traitor kills you as said Saint role, it literally DOUBLES his kill countdown - for the rest of the GAME. And the fun thing is: The Saint Effect C A N stack!

Those are just 2 samples of said over 25 roles this game offers.
Another big part, better than in among us, is the fact that people comunicate way better. Why? Because they can also use VOICECHAT around them - Ingame AND in meetings. This alone adds doors among us doesnt have by a mile.

Praising it to high for what it is?

Again, the game has also some other "smaller bad stuff" like some roles are either stupid to use or nearly useless since other roles do a way better job - or are overall just way to situational like you have to find a dead body FIRST before youre able to "do" anything with your role or like but as i said, the overall BIGGEST problem is the fact that the community of this game is just super small because among us is a thing and the "cool kids" dont understand how to play TIS because "oh wow youtubers play only among us so why should i try something else" blah blah blah.

Srsly, try and read the negative reviews for TIS and you can already mark 2(and some more) things of the list:
- They have literally no longer playtime than 0.X hours
- They complain that noone plays the game
- Mostly kiddis which dont understand how the game actually works
- People which complain that they can only play the "free 2 play mode" and not the payed mode*

*Yea, how can devs only wanna earn MONEY with this game right? If i tell you that the game was actually over 10 bucks in E.A. state and NOW you complain that you can "play it for free but limited"

Like this one "review":
"Every review of this says that it's more populated in custom games, but what they don't tell you is that you need to buy a $5 key to play anything outside of classic. Seriously, BMG, you make good games, just price it at $5."

...Srsly. Imagen you complain about a free game you can TRY for FREE...gees~

Here said, yes, the game needs a bigger player base and thats why i say, if you like games like among us, have some friends with you which would enjoy the fun, own actually a brain which works and want a way more cleaned up version from among us with active roles to play you should srsly give TIS a try. Its for sure not bad - in fact: you can play it for free in the said "Classic mode". Said classic mode is basically the "Free 2 play" version which only offers limited roles but again: For TRYING OUT THE GAME for free, its still somewhat fun. If you really DO fully enjoy it and wanna try out other and better roles, you might should put the said 4-5 bucks into TIS and get the said "Key to town" which opens you the door to the costum game mode in which you can play with other over 25 roles and try to create your own (basically) game modes as you like.

So do i recommend it?
Yes. I do recommend TIS.
Again, its way better than Among us, better active roles and deeper gameplay with voicechat (or not if you dont wanna) and communication has a deeper meaning here. Im not saying TIS is a masterpiece and yes, it only has a small community but that also means "less braindead kiddis" around which, in fact, ruined Among us for a lot people already because they think among us is "just a cute game" but actually needs some working braincells to play - And TIS actually needs at least 10 more active cells for sure.

If you have a friend and you enjoy such games, try to get this game. It can be super fun with the right people. And again: If they created a MOD B A S E D on TIS FOR Among us, how "bad" can this game be~?
