History NightmareFuel / AmongUs

** If the Host allows them, the Seeker gets a personal map to track Crewmates (or if the Seeker kills half of the players), there's red circles called pings that alerts the Seeker to where they are a certain number of seconds each, and the Seeker almost always gets a speed boost once the players are in the Final Hide. With all those combined, it means that you ''can't'' stay in one place for too long during the Final Hide unless you have enough vents saved up.

* Imagine you notice the Reactor beginning to melt down. You wait for two people to go do it while you finish tasks, but eventually you notice no one is shutting it down... [[{{Unwinnable}} and you're now too far away to fix it yourself before it melts...]]

* Hide and Seek mode is officially a thing and it somehow manages to be more terrifying than the standard game (pictured):
** If you're the Seeker, or stick around in the summoning area to watch this happen, you're treated to a lovely shot of your Crewmate doubling over in pain, collapsing on the ground, and writhing for a few seconds before standing back up with a might roar from its mouth that is now on its stomach. And that mouth stays open the whole game.

* Watching a player be executed after they are voted out can be a little unnerving. Depending on the map, they are either sent floating off into space without oxygen, sent plummeting to their deaths, thrown into lava, or cast to sea [[VikingFuneral while being set on fire]]. Either way, they die horribly.

** Every time someone dies, a ScareChord plays for every other Crewmate and the nameplate of that Crewmate displays with the message "[Player] HAS BEEN KILLED", and above the danger meter one of the Crewmate silhouettes gets crossed off. This is only a mild jumpscare on its own, but it quickly gets terrifying if it happens several times consecutively.

** Their tongue (pictured) is capable of impaling a poor crew member through the head with no resistance. [[ItCanThink They are also capable of using guns though]], making one wonder how and why...

** If the Host allows them, the Seeker gets a personal map to track Crewmates once the players are in the Final Hide (or if the Seeker kills enough people) and there's red circles called pings that alerts the Seeker to where they are for a certain number of seconds each. With those two and the increased speed the Seeker getting combined, it means that you ''can't'' stay in one place for too long during the Final Hide unless you have enough vents saved up.

** Unlike the standard game where there's just ambient noises, Hide and Seek mode has background music that [[SongsInTheKeyOfPanic gets louder and more intense the closer the Seeker is to you]], which is also illustrated by a danger meter. To make matters worse, the meter and music just care about the straight distance between you and the Seeker; it doesn't take walls into account. If you're hiding in the corner of Medbay on the Skeld while the Seeker is in the corner of Electrical, the meter and music will still go wild.

** If the Host allows them, the Seeker gets a personal map to track Crewmates once the players are in the Final Hide (or if the Seeker kills enough people) and there's red circles called pings that alerts the Seeker to where they are for a certain number of seconds each. With those two and the increased speed the Seeker also gets combined, it means you ''can't'' stay in one place for too long during the Final Hide.

*** In the early days of the Shapeshifter mode, Imposters couldn't shapeshift as each other, meaning that if the Shapeshifted Imposter gets caught with the Crewmate they are disguised as, the Crewmate's innocence is confirmed. But soon that limit got removed. Which means there's no way to tell if the Shapeshifter is trying to frame a Crewmate or trick the Crewmates into thinking their partner is innocent.

** While it becomes somewhat of NightmareRetardant as it can confirm that the crewmate is innocent, if you see the Shapeshifted Impostor with the Crewmate they turned into, there's no way to determine who's the fake without someone getting killed; and even then you have no idea who they really are unless you're lucky enough to catch them when it wears off. It's even more nerve-wracking for the crewmate to see themselves, not sure of what they might do.

** Also you know how the fan-imposed rules gave Impostors a more limited field of view? Well that's here in the form of a uni-directional flashlight that the Crewmates are also stuck with. All the while tense music is playing which gets louder the closer the Seeker is.

* Similarly, the Shapeshifter role ups the ParanoiaFuel because it becomes 10x easier for an Impostor to frame someone; they just have to shapeshift into that someone and kill in front of a bunch of witnesses.
