If you're looking for a social deduction game, I think Project Winter is the best you're going to find. The comparison to Among Us is something this game will never escape, but I think it's a comparison that does it a favor, as I can compare just about every aspect and see that PW tends to look more favorable. Proximity voice chat is something that will single handedly make a game like this more engaging. Running around a snowy wasteland as the voices of your friends get quieter around you is an experience so hilarious and immersive that I tend to forget that I'm just sitting at my desk. Another of PW's many triumphs in the genre is its gameplay for the innocent players. In Among Us, if you aren't the coveted traitor role, you're really just running around waiting for something to happen as you do some flash game tasks. Project Winter on the other hand is as much a survival game as it is a social deduction game, as you and your friends have to explore a desolate wasteland finding parts and crafting tools to repair an escape vehicle. The best way to summarize this gameplay is that, this would be a satisfying multiplayer game even without the traitor aspect.
