Among Us, developed by InnerSloth and released in 2018, became a worldwide hit in 2020 when streamers and content creators turned its social deduction gameplay into short, shareable moments. During a round, players call an emergency meeting to discuss who might be the impostor, and the word sus became shorthand for suspicious behaviour. Clips of those meetings spread across Twitch, YouTube and TikTok, where the format was easy to reuse for jokes outside the game. It remains popular because the accusation setup is instantly understood, even by people who have never played.
