Among Us Colors Have Surprisingly Deep Lore | Game Rant

Sometimes, the best lore comes from games that hardly look like they should have any lore at all. Games like Minecraft hide elaborate fortresses and dungeons that hint at a greater world that the player will really never engage with in a meaningful way. Details like that demonstrate a game doesn’t have to be about a deep lore or setting in order to have some fun or interesting bits of lore. It looks like another game that falls into that category is Among Us. Although it doesn’t have anything close to a campaign, there seem to be some little details that fill in the setting.

A lot of it has to do with the playable colors. One wouldn’t expect Innersloth to have come up with lore details for each of the colors that players can choose from to identify themselves, but it may have done just that. These little spacefarers may have significantly more depths than players realize. That’s worth bearing in mind as Innersloth returns to the original Among Us with the intention of expanding the base game. One day there might be a lot more personality and depth to the characters and settings of Among Us than players would expect.

The character with some of the most implied lore in Among Us is Cyan. Some players might have noticed that when they swipe a card or enter their ID code in admin rooms, there’s a photograph in their wallet. It looks like a family picture with a few Among Us spacefarers, specifically featuring a small, potentially young Cyan flanked by Orange and Green. That would suggest that Cyan is in fact related to these other crewmates. However, it’s worth noting that this picture appears in everyone’s wallet and doesn’t change based on the player’s color, but perhaps this is a photograph of friends that’s important to every member of the crew.

Other characters have some recurring associations that seem meaningful. Red is an important color in Among Us, appearing on app logos and reminding players to be secretive at the start of the game. However, it’s also very interesting that the tutorial follows Red as the impostor, as do other promotional materials. That might mean that Red is the true Impostor in whatever canon is in place. If there’s officially more than one Impostor, it might be that Black is Red’s co-conspirator, since it’s also a frequent Impostor in promotions and used for the Sabotage icon. It’s entirely possible that these are just stylistic choices made by Innersloth, but they could certainly be hinting at some story threads in the game.

It’s hard to know for sure whether each player character in Among Us is actually supposed to be an individual character. Scans in the Medbay indicate that each Among Us character has a distinct unchanging ID code based on their color, but their blood types are randomized every time. Unless these astronauts have some particularly bizarre hidden biology, it might indicate that these aren’t the same people every game. Even so, every crewmate has exactly the same diminutive height and weight, so it’s hard to say what’s really behind those visors.

Even though Among Us doesn’t seem like the kind of game that would run with a story mode, these hints and details could easily unfold into some sort of promotional storyline now that Among Us has surged to fame and the developer is working on the game again. The fanbase is so dearly attached to these colorful crewmates that fans would probably be strongly drawn to animations or comics with plot threads designed to advertise Among Us updates. It might just be that the world of Among Us is a lot more complicated than it seems.

Among Us is available on PC and mobile.
