*Among Us is a social manipulation game...*
An interesting theory has popped up regarding the hit social deduction game "Among Us". This theory claims that the game itself is actually a carefully calculated means of social influence and manipulation.
This theory suggests that the creators of Among Us have designed the game with specific underlying psychological mechanisms to create outcomes beneficial to them. These outcomes could include influencing the decisions and behavior of players, or even just keeping them engaged with the game.
The theory goes on to speculate that this means that the game is not just a fun pass time, but a highly designed tool for social control.
