Among Us is a social deduction game created by Innersloth and released in 2018. Its spaceship setting, crewmates, tasks, reports, and impostor rounds became widely recognizable after the game surged in popularity during 2020. Short audio clips from gameplay then spread through gaming videos, streams, memes, and animated edits. The walking sound remains useful because it identifies crewmate movement without dialogue and fits the game's mixture of lighthearted visuals, secrecy, pursuit, and sudden suspicion.
