Instructions:
To play modded lobbies of Among Us, all players are required install the same mod as one another for the game to function correctly. Modded lobbies are unjoinable on Vanilla clients.
First, download the newest release of
The Other Roles mod from Github (TheOtherRoles.zip
)
and extract its contents.
Next, find your Among Us install location (found through Steam by Right-Clicking Among Us, then Manage, then Browse Local Files) and ensure that there are no other mods in the folder. If there are, delete the entire contents of the 'Among Us' folder, verify file integrity through Steam, and launch the game.
Once you have the install location cleaned, if you want to have a seperate Vanilla install, then duplicate the folder (copy and paste it in place) and rename the new folder to 'Among Us - ToR'. Either way, copy the contents of the unzipped 'ToU v5.1.1' folder to this directory. The BepInEx and Dotnet folders should be at the same level as Among Us.exe.
Launching the game via the Among Us.exe file in this location should
load the modded version of Among Us (which may take up to 5 minutes
on first launch). If you have created a seperate install for the
modded version, make a shortcut to this by right-clicking the
Among Us executable, clicking 'Create shortcut', and paste this
into your Windows Start Menu's Shortcuts folder. To get here, open
your Start Menu, right click any program, and click 'open file
location'. Paste or drag your shortcut to the 'Programs' folder.
You may want to rename this shortcut to something like 'Among Us ToR'.
House Rules:
- Deafen on Game Start.
- Dead players can unmute between meetings to discuss.
- If alive, un-deafen when a meeting starts to partake in conversations.
- If dead, mute yourself to prevent interruptions
- Try to avoid grouping as much as possible, especially in later rounds, as doing so makes the game less enjoyable for Neutrals and Impostors.
- Try to avoid talking before the players appear on the vote screen, as a player may have been blackmailed.

Additional notes:
- If a player dies as they report, they are considered dead, and cannot partake in the meeting. If their body appears after the meeting by the table, it is to be immediately reported, then everyone skips, without discussing any game information.
- It is recommend to set custom keybinds on Discord (Settings > Keybinds > Add A Keybind) for 'Toggle Deafen' and 'Toggle Mute'.
- Keybinds for in-game actions (such as Q for Kill) can be found and adjusted in the in-game settings.
- If you can't launch the game through Steam, get a GI Fatal Error, or can't see custom modded hats, try restarting the game, and launching from either the EXE or a shortcut opened as Admin.
- All Impostors and Neutral-Killers can Assassinate people in meetings by guessing their role correctly. Guessing incorrectly results in a suicide unless the guesser is a Doomsayer, or has the Double Shot modifier.
- To Assassinate a player, you must guess their exact role. For example, if a player is a 'Swooper' and they are guessed as 'Impostor', that guess is incorrect. 'Impostor' is only a correct guess if they are exclusively a Vanilla impostor.
