That being said, the Among Us brand doesn't carry the same weight as it did a year ago, and a lot of the more casual audience has moved on to other games or hobbies. Put simply, Among Us is a name that everyone knows, while Gmod just doesn't have the same general recognition. On paper, it would make sense that Among Us would be able to surpass Gmod and do so with ease, as Among Us has built a reputation and fan-base over the last two years that stretches across the globe, reaching even the most casual audiences. The similarities between Among Us' Hide 'n Seek mode and Gmod's Prop Hunt are pretty striking, but it's unclear whether Among Us can capture Gmod's consistent level of popularity. The core hook is the inevitable chase that ensues once the prop has been found. The real skill of the game is the player trying to blend themselves seamlessly into the environment they're in as the object they've been given.
Gmod's Prop Hunt game mode sees the players having to hide as different objects around the map, and the seeker is tasked with finding and killing them. Although Gmod has a vast selection of user-created game modes, missions, and maps, its "Prop Hunt" game mode has always been, and continues to be, one of its most popular. Currently, Gmod is sitting at a 30-day average of 25,435 players on Steam Charts, and while it currently isn't in Twitch's top 10, it often is.
Garry's Mod has always been one of Steam's most popular games.

Further, if Steam Charts are anything to go by, Among Us has dropped in popularity significantly over the last two years, going from an average of 176,453 in October 2020 to just 8,768 in December 2021. While it's still streamed on Twitch, it isn't in the top 10 streamed games right now. However, times have changed, and Among Us just isn't as popular as it once was. Among Us was so popular, in fact, that it managed to take home the 2020 Game Awards for Best Mobile Game, and Best Multiplayer, beating out industry juggernauts like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Call of Duty: Warzone. A simple gameplay hook and a very high level of accessibility meant that even the most casual of gamers could pick up a tablet and play. The pandemic was in full swing, many families had to isolate, and Among Us, a free mobile game, was there to bring everyone together. The game that took the world by storm in 2020, Among Us defines a specific point in time for those who played it.
