Since then, gamers across the world have been working together to finish tasks, find the imposters, or otherwise kill and sabotage their way to victory. But besides outsmarting each other in a battle of wits, players can also stand out from the crowd with some unique character customization.
Everyone inAmong Uscan customize their avatar with several options while waiting in the pre-game lobby. With the choices available, players can change a character’s color, outfit, and even the little pet that follows them around during a match. However, there’s also a tab to switch up the hat worn and there’s a little trick to access some more spooky choices besides the hats normally available.
