Innersloth Announces 'Among Us Show' Will Feature Live Decompressions, Prompting Union Demands for Space Suit COLA Adjustments
LOS ANGELES — In a move that has sent shockwaves through both the entertainment and spacefaring communities, game developer Innersloth has officially greenlit "Among Us: The Reality Show," a live-action adaptation of the hit social deduction game. The twist? Contestants will be subjected to actual, non-simulated space decompression events for the "Crewmate vs. Impostor" challenges. "We wanted to capture the authentic paranoia of being sucked into the void," explained showrunner Kevin "The Skeld" Peterson, "and there's nothing quite like genuine, rapid depressurization to build trust issues."
The announcement has sparked an immediate unionization drive among the first 10 contestants, who are now demanding hazard pay, supplemental oxygen, and a cost-of-living adjustment for their space suits. "You think a color-coded helmet is enough for 'Emergency Meeting' when your internal organs are being rearranged?" fumed one prospective Crewmate, who wished to remain anonymous (and in a pressurized environment). "The Impostors don’t have to deal with the vacuum tax." The irony, of course, is not lost on fans: a game predicated on lies and betrayal is now embroiled in a contract negotiation that is more transparent than the vent system on The Skeld III.
