I agree that a gamemode with a Detective would be cool, but I don't think it's necessary.

You need a Detective in games like Trouble in Terrorist Town because there aren't any meetings. In Among Us, the meetings make everyone a group of Detectives voting on who they think is the Impostor.

I think that a Detective would probably be part of a "Special Roles" mode that was going to be in Among Us 2, but will now be implemented into Among Us 1.

Other potential roles...

But, right now, the only way for us to see how it will really turn out is to wait for it to happen. I'm quite excited for it myself.

Innersloth Devs: Maybe the host can disable certain roles, and only make the Detective (or others) available?

I think it'd over complicate the game. I like how simple it is where it is. A detective idea sounds nice like in Mafia, but the Imposters are already at a disadvantage (compared to number of crewmates). Adding a detective would just make the odds worse. Maybe in a 3 imposter game-mode, potentially. A detective may have some sort of ability to know who the imposter is (like subtle hints) so they could convince the crewmates to vote off the imposters. I think it'll add an extra layer of sophistication and strategy to the game!
