Innersloth announced during the “Triple-i Initiative Showcase,” which aired on October 9 at 1:00 a.m., that *Among Us Story: On Guard* will be released on February 17, 2027.
Are you the suspect in a murder case? A detective adventure where you must prove your innocence
This title is a brand-new detective adventure game created by the team behind *Among Us*.
It is developed and published by Innersloth, known for the main *Among Us* series. While set in the *Among Us* universe, it stands independently from the competitive main series and can be enjoyed on its own.
Players take on the role of an “Operator” participating in MIRA R&D’s new crewmate training program, controlling a “Guard” in a simulation. Your mission is to manage security aboard the ship and guide the crew safely to their destination.
However, peaceful days are shattered by a murder—and you are the prime suspect. You must prove your innocence before the Imposter turns their attention to the other crew members—and to you.
During the investigation, you’ll gather clues while interacting with your crewmates to corner the Imposter.
However, according to the rules of “Crewmate’s Guide,” you cannot be relieved of your duties—no matter what murder occurs or who suspects you. Completing tasks and advancing the mission will also bring you closer to the truth behind the incident. There may be more Impostors than you expect, and the story branches into three different endings.
A hard-boiled detective and a crew of somewhat suspicious characters
The protagonist, Guard, is a sarcastic, suspicious, hard-boiled detective.The crewmates who support him are all characters with their own quirks: a kind-hearted cook with just a few days left until retirement; a scientist who can’t stop talking about plants and science; a doctor who streams live even while on duty; and a captain who may struggle with conflict but excels at compassionate dialogue.
You’ll have to figure out which one of them is the imposter through your interactions with them.
