Chronic Insanity: There's Something Among Us

"Hell is other people, even over Zoom"

Games have the ability to bring us together, but also to push us apart. With a rise in online games over lockdown a friendship group being torn asunder by a game can now happen remotely. Hooray!

In Among Us, a player(s) is assigned the role of The Imposter and has secretly murder the other players without being caught. But what if, when each player is killed off in the game, something more immediate and serious happens to that player in real life, something the other players aren’t made aware of until it’s too late?

There's Something Among Us tells a story through multiple interactive video feeds of the opening of old wounds, the revelation of unspoken truths, and little colourful dudes killing each other on a space station.
