How do you grow in Among Impostors?
By collecting food scattered around the map, which converts into additional impostors. Your group size is both your score and your fighting strength, so foraging and competing are the same activity.
What happens if another player outnumbers you?
They can steal your impostors. The game specifically advises avoiding players who outnumber you, which makes reading relative crowd size the most important judgement in a match.
What do the bonuses do?
The protection shield blocks other players, speed shoes let you run fast, and the impostor bonus increases your numbers. All three are contested, so picking which to fight for depends on whether you are ahead or behind.
How many characters are there?
15 different impostors. You choose from them in the menu, and new ones are unlocked — or existing ones strengthened — using the money you earn at the end of each game.
What are daily bonuses for?
They supply money alongside your match earnings, so returning regularly shortens how long it takes to unlock or strengthen a character. Progression therefore runs on both playing well and playing often.
