Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 3
Hidden in Plain Sight leans clearly harder on execution.
Among Us
Tasks are trivial minigames
Hidden in Plain Sight
Simple inputs; a steady trigger finger helps slightly.

Lying to and reading humans IS the game
Hidden in Plain Sight
Acting like an NPC against watching humans is the entire game.

Role assignment and kill information hidden
Hidden in Plain Sight
NPC crowds and random objectives provide cover noise.
