Among Us was released by InnerSloth in 2018 and surged in popularity in 2020, when its social deduction matches became a constant source of clips and memes online. Words like sus and impostor, and the ritual of calling an emergency meeting to vote out a player, spread far beyond the game itself. Sounds tagged with Among Us numbers like 228 are user shared variants circulated on soundboards for that same joke, reused whenever creators need a quick, recognisable cue for suspicion, betrayal or a caught in the act moment.
