Portal And Among Us Collide With This GLaDOS Mod

Written by

Every week, I feature mods as part of our Mod Corner segment to highlight some of the coolest fan creations out there that I can find. Given that I reviewed Among Us and can't stop talking about the sus little jelly bean astronaut game and my undying love for Portal, finding one mod that blends the two franchises was definitely something I couldn't pass up sharing! With this Among Us mod, GLaDOS from the Portal franchise has officially joined the party. 

Unlike the Star Wars Battlefront II x Among Us mod, this won't transform every character into something else. Instead, it brings GLaDOS -- the maniacal AI with a grudge and a hilarious sarcastic streak -- into the world of tasks and murder:

Now, we just need a Wheatley added in, because that would be amazing! 

To get the GLaDOS Among Us Bot mod, you can find the coding right here over at Github. How it works is that GLaDOS is a player bot in Among Us, which you can see in the video above. While it's not the most in-depth mod I've covered with Mod Corner, it is a silly, easy-to-use one that is perfect for those (like me) that are still not-so-patiently waiting for a Portal 3. Will it ever happen? Nah, especially when looking at the comic continuation, but we can still dream. 

There are a few bugs to contend with when using this mod, but the creator is working on that. It features changes to crewmate gameplay, imposter gameplay, tasks, and emergency meetings. It's pretty rad, so if you're looking to spruce up that murder a little bit, this isn't a bad direction to go in!

Among Us has been all the rage since its surprise resurgence last year, and independent development studio VestGames hopes to court some of the enthusiastic following of the massive hit. Eville is a social deduction title that combines elements of Among Us with the card game One Night Ultimate Werewolf and wraps it up with RPG elements and a fantasy village setting and aesthetic.

After a series of murders upends the peaceful and quiet town of Eville, it's up to players to take matters into their own hands. The residents must deduce who the killer is and put a stop to the murders. The citizens of Eville must work together to stop the killings before they end up as the next victims.

Each character has unique skills and roles to help figure out the identity of the murderer. Once someone is identified, you put them on trial as either a means for finding the murderer or as a way to turn villagers against one another in a fit of mistrust. Villagers can also assume the role of Conspirator and help the murderer by removing barriers to clear the path for the killer.

At the start of each game, every player is assigned a role: Citizen or Conspirator. Within those umbrella classes are specialized roles that grant unique abilities to support either the investigation or the string of killings. Villagers must work together to achieve their goal of finding the responsible parties, but they can also call upon the help of NPC villagers to look for clues and identify suspects. Conspirators' job is to aide the murderer and work to throw the villagers off the scent while protecting their own identity. If the Conspirators are identified based on clues left behind, it's into the flaming cage for them.

Customizable avatars, an interactive village community, and a meaningful day/night cycle all point toward this being a distinct take on the currently-popular genre. If you want to check it out for yourself, Eville launches into Steam Early Access sometime in 2021, but a free multiplayer demo is available from today until February 9 as a part of the Steam Winter Festival.
