Can I play the demo now?

The officially announced test ended August 31. We have not verified another active test. Check the latest Steam news rather than relying on old download instructions.

How many players are in a match?

A fixed match size and faction allocation have not passed this wiki’s evidence gate. The Team Planner accepts your own group size and makes no claim about the game’s lobby limit.

Is Magic the same as a Technique?

No. Steam describes Combat Techniques as innate, while most Magic is learned out in the world. The full ability catalogue and values still require verification.

Does the notebook identify Apostles?

No. It saves your observations and your own suspicion rating locally. It has no game connection, automated guilt score or public player database.

Is this the official game website?

No. Among Shadows Wiki is an independent fan reference. Game imagery belongs to its respective owners, and first-party sources are linked beside the factual claims.
