Topic	THE Snake Ranks Anything Horror Related (Vol. 5) 5th Anniversary RANKINGS
Snake5555555555 10/18/20 1:11:56 PM #218:	63. Among us (game) (17.5 points) Nominated by: handsomeboy2000 (2/5 remaining) Importance: 5 Fear: 6.5 Snake: 6 Among Us absolutely exploded in popularity recently, as all of you probably already know. A game based on deception, backstabbing, and argumentative friendship-shattering, Among Us perfectly captures our modern times, the game serving as the perfect stress relief to the isolation & quarantine of our COVID-infested year. I don't think that's wrong to say either. Among Us first came out in 2018, to little fan-fare. I had actually heard of it back then, but paid little mind to its cheap-looking Newgrounds aesthetic & uninteresting gameplay. Cut to 2020, and now this game is everywhere. The game was streamed by Sodapoppin back in July and the rest was history, the game simply latched on like a parasyte and absolutely gripped the world with its epic saga of tasks and ejections. If you deny its horror elements however, the most easy comparison to make is with The Thing. Much like the titular alien, if you're the impostor, it's your role to assimilate as a crew member, and to make others trust you as you take them out one by one or sabotage the systems of the real crew. When dead bodies are discovered though, this is where the game becomes the blood testing scene of the Thing. Emotions will flare, anger will rise, and to survive you MUST be ready to argue for yourself no matter which side of the deck you fall on. In a way, Among Us is the natural succession to Mafia, another popular online game in the argument genre for years, given an upgrade that incorporates the elements of skilled play & survival of a battle royale, a kid-friendly graphical style that's easy to produce and ensures all ages get in on the fun (SEE: Fall Guys as well), and made totally accessible for anyone with a smartphone & internet connection. Among Us was the social outlet we needed this year, proving that some games, given the time and affection they deserve, will always come along at the right time and become a smash-hit under the current circumstances. --- And it's gonna be a long October, and I don't have reasons to believe, in much of anything, alright https://imgur.com/1e1e70S <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:945997834] in THE Snake ...
