In Among Us, an Impostor can appear out of a map's many vents at any second to catch players off guard, and this meme perfectly encapsulates that feeling of shock. Vents are one of the many tools that Impostors can use to stealthily navigate the map to kill their opponents.
Playing as an Imposter in Among Us can be a difficult thing to balance compared to a crewmate. Impostors have to not only effectively fake tasks and use the tools they have at their disposal, they also have to be good at lying and creating their own alibi. It's something that requires a certain amount of mental training, as lying doesn't come natural to everyone. But if Impostors know what they're doing, it can be immensely cathartic to assassinate everyone around them and have the feeling of getting away with murder.
This meme on the Among Us subreddit posted by K1NGxAD1O accurately depicts how crewmates can be thrown off by the sudden appearance of an Impostor through a vent. One minute, crewmates can be heading to a destination to do a task, and the next, an Impostor can appear from a vent without warning. This can cause real tensions, as the crewmate only has a few seconds to react before the Impostor goes in for the kill.
Among Us is a game that has made many players develop trust issues towards other players. Anyone around players can be an Impostor at any moment, and with that in mind, it's no wonder Among Us can get seriously tense during certain moments, usually during either emergency meetings or when the Impostor is chasing its victims. It's because of this however that Among Us has become one of the most played party games in 2020, even dethroning the recent Fall Guys. The game is akin to Mario Party in that it can make players tear their hair out at others, but that's exactly what makes it a good time for everyone.
Being an Impostor in Among Us can be a lot to manage with everything they can use compared to crewmates. But when an Impostor sees an opportunity to go for the kill, it can be very much like a kid popping in out of nowhere. One might call being an Impostor an art to master, but the amount of satisfaction (and terror) players can receive and induce in Among Us is something that can only be gotten from playing as an Impostor.
Among Us is available now on iOS, Android, and PC.
