The game crawled after launch due to InnerSloth's lack of a solid marketing strategy. Among Us launched with no audio, but Willard later scrapped together some sound effects to give it more life. It was originally intended to be mobile-only and to only support local multiplayer with a single map. InnerSloth's space-themed title had humble beginnings. Then came DeiTied in 2016, a two to four-player party game, which never quite took off but paved the way for the 2018 launch of Among Us. Their first release was Dig2China in 2015, a mobile game where players need to burrow their way to China by upgrading a drill vehicle. Willard was the studio's sole programmer, while Bromander and Liu tag-teamed art and animation, with Liu handling promotional tasks, like social media posts. The trio attended Oregon State University together and founded InnerSloth in 2015, following their graduation. He even published The Henry Stickmin Collection as a Steam game through InnerSloth, but Among Us wouldn't begin taking shape until Bromander, Willard, and Liu joined forces.

Tens of thousands of users followed Henry Stickmin, the series of interactive animated shorts he began in 2008 under the moniker PuffballsUnited. By then, Bromander had already become a well-known animator and game designer on content-sharing site Newgrounds.

However, the game that enchanted Twitch viewers in the summer was created by Marcus Bromander, Forest Willard, and Amy Liu. Since its meteoric rise to stardom, InnerSloth has made two new hires to help handle its newfound fame. The indie game was first released on mobile platforms on June 15, 2018, and laid dormant until one of Twitch's most influential live streamers, Chance "Sodapoppin" Morris, began playing Among Us in July 2020. The stars seemed to have suddenly aligned to make Among Us the hit it is today, but for its original three-person development team at InnerSloth, it's been years in the making. The murder-mystery title's simplicity and social gameplay struck a chord with hundreds of millions of people during a year when the coronavirus pandemic made in-person activities impossible. Among Usrose to the top of the indie game food chain seemingly overnight during the final weeks of summer 2020.
