Lore & Background

Like every map, Polus gives Crewmates a surveillance aid for spotting Impostors; on Polus it is a vitals display showing whether each player is alive. Polus and MIRA HQ were first sold as in-app purchases; the map packs can still be bought but now only provide the skins bundled with them.

Watch the vitals display: it shows the living status of every player, which helps when a body has not been reported yet. Since the November 2021 update, Scientists can check vitals from anywhere on the map.

Crewmates work through tasks around the station while up to three hidden Impostors kill, sabotage systems and travel through the vents.
