Along with the popularity of Among Us, the special term -sus has entered our everyday vocabulary. The phrase "Sus" has been used many times in different situations over the years, from a joke about someone's behavior to a term to describe action in video games such as the TTT Garrys Mods game mode, and more recently around the world. us. While the word sus a is of obscure origin, Among Us has turned it into a joke that even someone who has never played the game of social deduction can understand.
Short for "suspicious", "sus" is often used in Among Us as a way to hint that someone might be an impostor. Saying someone was "sus" was just... a shorthand for "suspect", the exact same meaning used today . The use of the phrase "Sus" in "Among Us" means that someone is acting suspiciously as an impostor impersonating a crew member, allowing the crew to vote for possible impostors and win among us.
Among Us takes place in a space-themed setting, with each player taking on one of two roles, most of whom are teammates and a predetermined number of imposters. In InnerSloth's recent popular multiplayer online game "Among Us", each player controls a different colored astronaut who is tasked with performing daily tasks on board the spacecraft. In the film, a group of scientists must complete various tasks to try to find out who among them is the shape-shifting alien impostor.
Whenever you play Among Us, the social deduction game assigns players the role of a crew member, someone who needs to survive long enough to complete a list of tasks, or an impostor trying to kill the crew. To complete a task in the popular video game Among Sus, one player must be the only one in the room at the same time and must wait 15 seconds. Teammates win if they manage to complete all of their tasks before they are eliminated. Inspired by their famous video game players, Among Sus is a LARP or live role playing game for players to experience in their own homes. Like the popular video game, Among Sus begins on a spaceship controlled by a team of players, some of whom are imposters trying to kill everyone else.
The entry barrier is very low - Among Us is free on mobile and only five dollars on PC - and doesn't require a lot of concentration or video game dexterity. Among Us is available on almost all devices, free on mobile phones and just amazing.

After online games peaked in popularity between late August and early September, they sparked a wave of memes joking about how gamers often accuse each other of being suspicious without any evidence. The word "sus" is not a creation of Among Us, but its widespread use in gaming communities is only due to the success of Innersloth. It has become nothing short of a cultural phenomenon among us, and the spread of the word sus a is a testament to the overwhelming success of the games. Among Us inspired not only memes and merchandising, but also Japanese comics and manga restaurants.
According to InnerSloth, the three-person studio behind the hit game, it passed the three million player mark at the end of September Among Us.

After a recent surge in popularity and with over 3.8 million concurrent players as of September 2020, Among Us is a game that's set to last for a while, and as for us gamers, it's time to practice letting off steam, not being labeled as sus.

Players may plead for action while moving or during communication between rounds , but ultimately they all rule out all other possibilities in Among Us or a group of playmates. .
