Abstract

With the advancement of technology, video games have become increasingly present in the daily lives of millions of people. Today, over 66% of Brazilians play games, according to the Pesquisa Game Brasil (PGB), and this number keeps growing worldwide, mainly because access to electronic devices has become easier. These games aren’t just a form of entertainment; they also impact the social and psychological well–being of players. In this context, this paper analyzes the psychosocial impacts of Among Us on its players, using text mining and sentiment analysis with data collected from Twitter. The aim is to identify both the positive and negative effects of the game. User interactions were analyzed with the SenticNet tool, which revealed emotions like enthusiasm, joy, acceptance, anger, anxiety, and sadness. This study helps to better understand the emotional effects that entertainment games have on their communities.
