[@GodzillaFan8889]

Surprised you didn’t mention 2 things: 1. The premise of the game. You’re trying to do tasks and stay alive while a shapeshifting alien (I’m 100% sure Impostors are alien, look at the tongue kill animation) is out to get you and your crewmates. Kind of reminds me of the thing, with 99% less grotesque transformations and more deception. 2. Pets in Among Us. Everyone already knows how scary and sad this idea is; when a pet’s owner dies, they hopelessly watch on in horror, unable to do anything, and then they just sit at the gravesite of their owner, alone.....

[@TensedOut]

Actually there's a theory going around that the imposter is actually a regular cremate who got infected by a parasite from the planet polus.

I mean it's pretty much Carpenter's "The Thing": The Game. Not surprising that you were able to turn this game into channel-appropriate material. The lack of omniscient camera, the suspense and growing distrust, the disasters cutting down on ability to focus on investigation of the various murders, etc.

Most specifically me and that guy alone, just two guys alone without anyone nearby, you'll never know if that guy with you was an imposter or not For imposter's role...
