Worms Against Humanity

A jubensha tribute to Among Us and the COVID-19 lockdown era by Ophelia Au.

Board the spaceship and find out who among us killed the captain…

THE STORY

It is Sept 20, 2123. The space age has begun. Humanity, now ravaged by a deadly alien parasite, establishes a research centre on a distant planet. The first batch of the highly anticipated cure will be delivered to Earth by SS Karma and crew, led by the seasoned Captain Black.

However, the spacecraft performs an emergency landing less than four hours into the trip. The esteemed Captain is dead and the cure is missing!

What on Earth could have taken place on the SS Karma?

MESSAGE FROM OPHELIA:

Thank you for your interest in Worms Against Humanity! This is the second jubensha I’ve written, and my objective with this game was to create an accessible jubensha game that resonates with the Western audience.

What better way to do that than to pay tribute to the social deduction game that achieved unprecedented reach? Among Us was a cultural phenomenon that brought people together in difficult times. I wanted to build on that.

I challenged myself to create a plot brimming with conflict, characters with depth and growth, and an impactful story while delivering the fun and classic Among Us tropes that made it such a hit.

If you play Worms Against Humanity, have fun and good luck! I appreciate feedback or even a small note saying you played it. Your encouragement and suggestions keep me motivated to create more jubensha games!
