Have you ever wondered what sparked the creation of the popular game Among Us? Let’s dive into the origins of this thrilling game of deception and teamwork.
So, what movie was Among Us based on? Let’s find out together!
The Movie That Inspired Among Us
The game Among Us draws its inspiration from the sci-fi horror classic, The Thing. This 1982 movie directed by John Carpenter showcases a group of scientists in Antarctica who face a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of the people it kills. Sounds familiar, right?
Among Us captures the essence of suspicion and trust issues found in The Thing. Players have to identify the impostors among their crewmates before it’s too late, much like the characters in the movie trying to figure out who’s been replaced by the alien.
