Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once

Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once An Instagram user is making "low-cost" Among Us cosplays using his own body parts to represent the crew members of the beloved multiplayer game. An Instagram user has found a bizarre way to cosplay multiple Among Us characters at the same time. The social deduction game has taken the internet by storm despite being largely ignored when it released in 2018. The game has reached such incredible amounts of popularity that the developer cancelled a sequel to focus up on developing the current game. Among Us, like the similarly explosive Fall Guys before it, owes much of its success to its adorable, minimally designed characters. The astronauts in Among Us are small, beanlike creatures, decked out like Skittles in bright primary colors. Like in Fall Guys, players can purchase cosmetic accessories for their astronaut, including hats, and even little pets that can follow them around. While players are mostly interested in Amo...

What Among Us Story & Plot Is Actually About

What Among Us Story & Plot Is Actually About

Among Us is a murder mystery sci-fi experience that's sweeping the gaming world, but what is the plot and story behind all the madness?

What Among Us Story & Plot Is Actually About

Space travel, betrayal, murder, and maintenance. These are just a few of the exciting elements involved in the gaming sensation Among Us. Gamers have recently breathed new life into Innersloth's 2018 game, and the world can't stop talking about it. But what is Among Us' story about, underneath all the intrigue?

Innersloth released Among Us for Android and iOS in July 2018, and it quickly came to Steam that August. The game was enough of a success for Innersloth to improve upon it with various updates for the past two years, but Among Us remained a somewhat unknown gem until recently. While Among Us is quick to throw players into the action, it offers very little to explain its story. Imagination can fill in a few gaps, but players do have some details to make assumptions from.

Among Us players are dropped into the roles of crewmembers aboard a spaceship, sky base, or alien planet and must complete various tasks, acting as maintenance workers around the ship to ensure their safety and success. The sky base is known as MIRA HQ. Players can assume, therefore, that the crewmembers work for an organization called MIRA. The spaceship, or The Skeld, is equipped with various facilities that imply long-distance travel, like the Cafeteria. The third level, Polus, is an alien planet that seems to be the foreign destination of The Skeld when not headed to MIRA, as both it and MIRA contain Laboratories for crewmate research. Among Us fan theories theories have circulated that Polus opens the door to some crossover canon with a previous Innersloth game, as well, though for now this is purely speculative. The three maps' implications seem to draw similarities to the 1979 film Alien, and that isn't where the congruencies end.

What Among Us Story & Plot Is Actually About

The inclusion of a Weapons room in two of Among Us' maps insinuates MIRA anticipates danger on its missions. Crewmembers will find their cosmic research attempts thwarted and their lives at risk by beings known as Impostors, who sabotage crewmembers' work in order to claim the whole operation for themselves. If a crewmember ends up alone in a room with an Impostor, they risk suffering terrible fates of mutilation. Not much is known about the Impostors, other than that they are the enemies of the MIRA employees, but players who control the Impostors have access to vents, while crewmembers do not. It is possible, then, that the Impostors have the ability to shapeshift, offering them this unique mode of mobility and camouflage. Regardless, they have infiltrated the MIRA operation and are out for blood.

When suspicion arises, and a crewmember finds a dead body or witnesses a crime, they have the opportunity to call an emergency meeting. At this point, players can use the Among Us' in-game chat to communicate about what has happened. The Impostors are part of the conversation, however, and are so identical to crewmembers that they must be caught red-handed to be proven guilty. Have the Impostors learned the crewmembers' language, or are they parasitic monsters that inhabit the brains of unfortunate hosts? Players have to keep keen eyes out for any "sus" activity if they don't want to accidentally send their compatriots out into the cold.

While most of the Among Us' plot is still up in the air, players can hope Innersloth will bring more light to the questions at hand with updates. Since Among Us' launch, character customization options have been added like hats and pets, though they do little to advance the story. Innersloth had originally planned for an Among Us sequel, but it has since abandoned the idea to incorporate new features into the original game. With the current game giving off similar vibes to movies like Alien and The Thing already, there is surely more exciting content that Among Us will bring to the players in the future.

What Among Us Least Sus Names Are

What Among Us Least Sus Names Are Appearing unsuspicious is a vital aspect of playing Among Us, and choosing the right name is an important part of that. What names are the least sus? Naming characters in Among Us is one of the funnest aspects of the game. Names can be a great way for players to make their friends laugh, or a way to confuse other players and even fly under the radar. However, a suspicious - or sus - name can be a surefire way to get ejected. So, what are some of the least sus names in Among Us now? Player perceptions regarding sus names in Among Us have changed with the game. When Among Us first rose in popularity last year, something as simple as naming a character "Honest Abe" or "Trusty Bob" could inspire trustworthiness. However, that's not really the case anymore. Most players will see this naming convention as a ruse, and it might actually backfire - making other crewmates more suspicious of someone with "Honest" or "Trusty...

Among Us Concept Art Shows How Fast Crewmate Design Came Together Newly released concept art for Among Us shows that the simple design of the crewmate was settled very early on in the development process. Concept art for Among Us has emerged online, showing that the design of the crewmate characters in the game was remarkably similar to the result and was finalized very quickly by developer InnerSloth. The game, which actually released way back in 2018, has become a surprise hit over the last month or so. In fact, the popularity of the indie title has risen so much that it has overtaken other surprise successes like Fall Guys on streaming site Twitch.

Players take on the role of crewmates carrying out basic tasks on a spaceship, while one is an imposter who is trying to kill off the rest of the crew. Psychological manipulation and deceit play an importa...

TellTale Games The Wolf Among Us 2 Trailer News & Latest Updates

TellTale Games The Wolf Among Us 2 Trailer News & Latest Updates Though there's been little news on The Wolf Among Us 2 since its announcement back in 2019, that's finally changing. Here's what we know so far. Telltale Games announced the return of The Wolf Among Us upon the studio's 2019 revival, but there have been few updates about the project since. Based on Bill Willingham's Fables comic series, the first game was released over the course of five episodes in 2013 and 2014. It served as a prequel to Fables in which players controlled Bigby Wolf (a.k.a. the Big Bad Wolf), the sheriff of a hidden New York community occupied by fairytale characters called Fabletown. The story followed Bigby as he investigated mysterious murders in Fabletown, a community that had previously been fairly safe for a long time. The original Wolf Among Us game was praised for its noir tone, visual style and story. Now, after years without news on The Wolf Among Us 2, a recent Game In...
