How did a small indie game created by a team of three go from obscurity to being played by over 500 million people? This is the incredible story of Among Us. �

Developed by Innersloth, Among Us launched in 2018 for PC and mobile, inspired by the horror classic The Thing and the party game Mafia. Despite its clever gameplay—where astronauts try to uncover the Imposter among them—it was initially considered a flop. The team even thought about abandoning the project, but a small, dedicated community kept it alive.

Fast forward to 2020, when the pandemic hit, and streamers on Twitch and YouTube discovered the game. Suddenly, millions were lying, debating, and hilariously arguing over who the Imposter might be. By the end of the year, Among Us was everywhere—memes, classrooms, fan art, consoles, and even VR!

This incredible rise proves that with patience and dedication, even the smallest indie games can find their moment to shine. ✨
