Among Us
The popularity of innerSloth’s title has boomed in recent months. In September, after a staggering increase of 655 per cent, Among Us hit 120 million downloads. Moreover, the game hit four billion views on YouTube last month.
Due to the overwhelming popularity of the first game, innerSloth has chosen to cancel its sequel plans to keep its focus on the original title.
