Among Us is a social deduction game developed by Innersloth and released in 2018, where crewmates complete tasks while trying to identify hidden impostors. The game exploded in popularity in 2020 through streamers and short-form video, turning words like sus and emergency meeting into widely shared internet jokes. Short clips from that wave still circulate on soundboards because they are instantly recognisable, easy to drop into an edit and flexible enough for gaming videos, memes and reaction content long after the game's peak.
