Social streamer games are the new fad this year. This can make an older game like Among Us an overnight hit. Then bigger streamers go to a game, more and more viewers are drawn in too. A popular category can mean more viewers for them. Once a game gets a lot of viewers on it, streamers start to gravitate towards it. Twitch has a tendency to snowball like this. However, that wasn’t really much compared to the current explosion in interest. It came out in 2018, and was relatively popular for a short period. The weirdest thing about Among Us is that it has taken so long to break out. Others can do some stupid stuff with it too, like trying to make the game pay to win. With a decent content creator, the title can be a tense thriller. This kind of gameplay makes Among us really fun to watch as well as play. The imposter can go to elaborate lengths to cover their own tracks, and frame other players where possible to take the blame for them. They have to discuss, point fingers, and gradually figure out who to blame. It relies pretty hard on the dialogue between players. The game can be fun to play in a content creator atmosphere. All players have to discuss who they think murdered the crewmate and chose someone to kick off the ship.
Once a crewmate’s body is found, a discussion and vote are called. The imposters have the job of sabotaging the ship and killing off crewmates. Crewmates have to make repairs and try to keep things functioning well. One to three players are assigned as imposters. Up to 10 players are in a map working together. The title is a top-down online game, that roughly approximates the plot of John Carpenter’s The Thing, for non-boomers its basically Warewolf/Mafia social deduction game.
It’s also available on mobile for free, which has definitely helped its explosion. The game that was originally released in June 2018 and was sidelined fairly quickly. If you are living in cave, Among Us is the new overnight streamer hit over the past few weeks. It’s a testament to how strong the snowball effect of Twitch trends can be. Emerging as a huge Twitch game though wasn’t really expected. It has been a bit of a sleeper hit, amassing a cult following in countries like Brazil. This is a little weird though, considering when the game was released. Among Us has blown up online in the past few weeks.
