Among Us is a real sensation of recent years. It's a game that's difficult to classify as any single genre – it's as much about cooperation, as betrayal and diversion. Because when most players are scrambling to prepare a spaceship for flight, the saboteurs, or the so-called impostors do everything they can to prevent it, while also trying to conceal their actions and identity. And in their actions, they can be really mean, because in addition to spoiling various elements and initiating an unstoppable disaster, they can also murder other crew members.
So when we play as the impostor, we become evil in its purest form. Not only do we plot, break, and kill, but we also have to pretend that we ourselves are as terrified by the events on the ship as anyone. You should be careful, because the crew can see through our plans and vote us off the deck, which is tantamount to death. Among Us is therefore a game in which we can become completely evil and perfidious, and what's more – in relation to our close friends. And the amazing wave of popularity of this production seems to only confirm the thesis from the beginning of the text saying that we like to be bad without any consequences.
