Among Us is a social deduction game developed by Innersloth. Despite being around since 2018, the game sprang to popularity in the US during the summer of 2020 thanks to Twitch streamer Chance ‘Sodapoppin’ Morris’s live streams. It means the game is yet to get popular among Nepali streamers.
The game has a maximum of 15 players at a time. Three players are chosen as imposters, and the rest are crewmates. A constant search for the imposter makes this game even more exciting.
If the imposter kills all the crew members or sabotages the system on the map, they can win the game. Likewise, the crew members can win in two ways – if they can identify all the imposters or complete the task.
It is one of the best games every Nepali streamer should try in 2022.
10. Dread Hunger
If you like survival games with a strong climax and horror element, Dread Hunger is your alley. You are dropped into a world full of survival and betrayal while exploring the Arctic in a ship.
To get the ship moving, the eight players must collect food, fuel, and other materials from the harsh tundra.
The materials must be collected by leaving the ship. Therefore, you must watch out for wildlife and other creatures that may attack you.
In the brutal and unforgiving Canadian Arctic, you have built fires to stay warm, fend off wolves and other predators, and hunt for food to survive.
Dread Hunger is a great mixture of Among Us, Subnautica, and Sea of Thieves. It has not been exposed much among Nepali streamers either, so it could be a great way to get more eyes on your content and build up your community.
