A late bloomer, Among Us has become quite the cultural phenomenon, often fluttering around the top of the Twitch TV Directory and Steam Charts and with many millions of players still pouring into the ranks of its playerbase. But where does all this joy and adulation come from? And what makes Among Us so appealing to the mainstream gaming audience?

Well, shiny technicolor jumpsuits, a cutesy Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic, and blood-soaked murder scenes amidst an atmosphere of paranoia, dishonesty, and distrust so thick it could practically be plucked from thin air, of course! Among Us is indeed a game like no other. A game with character.

A game with awesome GIFs.
