Īt the start of the game, Crewmates are assigned "tasks" to complete around the map (in the form of minigames, minpuzzles, and simple toggles), mostly consisting of maintenance work on vital systems such as fixing wires and downloading data. Games can also end by players quitting the match if doing so fulfills any win condition (if a Crewmate quits the game, their tasks are automatically considered completed).
The Crewmates likewise can win one of two ways: either by completing all tasks or by identifying and ejecting all Impostors. The Impostor(s) win(s) one of two ways: either by killing most of the crew (to the point that they're equal in number) or by sabotaging a critical system on the map (provided the Crewmates don't resolve it in time).
