UNTRUST US (Sprunk)

About UNTRUST US (Sprunk)

UNTRUST US (Sprunk) is a chilling and rhythmically intense modification of the viral Incredibox Sprunki game that introduces a layer of deep paranoia and social deduction horror to the music-mixing formula. Merging the colorful, eccentric world of Sprunki with the tension-filled atmosphere of Among Us, this mod challenges players to create beats while constantly questioning the reality of the characters on screen.

In a genre filled with "Executor" and "Infection" mods, UNTRUST US stands out by focusing on deception. The characters aren't just zombies; they are hiding something. Beneath the catchy melodies lies a sinister secret waiting to be exposed, making every beat drop feel like a potential sabotage.

The Lore: There is an Impostor Among the Beats

The narrative of UNTRUST US (Sprunk) deviates from the standard "corruption" storyline. Instead of a virus sweeping through the group instantly, the lore posits that an Impostor has infiltrated the Sprunki crew.

The game begins in what appears to be a standard spaceship or high-tech facility setting. The characters—Oren, Raddy, Wenda, and the rest—are dressed in futuristic "Crewmate" attire or stylized space gear. They perform their loops to keep the ship running. However, distinct clues hint that one (or more) of them is not who they say they are.

When the "Horror Phase" is triggered, the facade crumbles. The Impostor reveals their true form—a grotesque, shapeshifting entity mimicking a Sprunki. The lights dim, alarms blare, and the harmonious track transforms into a chaotic, emergency-alert-style anthem of survival. The story isn't just about making music; it's about identifying the threat before the melody ends.

Gameplay Mechanics: Rhythm and Sabotage

UNTRUST US (Sprunk) retains the core drag-and-drop mechanics of Incredibox but adds unique twists inspired by the themes of betrayal and suspense.

How to Play

1. Assemble the Crew: Drag icons (represented as ID cards, visors, or tools) onto the silhouettes to assign roles.
2. Build the Taskbar: Each sound loop contributes to the "Taskbar" of the song. Melodies act as communications, beats act as engines, and effects act as navigation.
3. Trigger the Emergency: Unlike other mods that use a specific "Black Hat" to trigger horror, UNTRUST US often requires a specific combination of "Sus" characters to unlock the dark phase.
4. The Sabotage Drop: Once the horror mode is active, the tempo accelerates. The visuals switch to "Lockdown Mode," and the sounds become distorted warnings, heavy industrial clangs, and alien screeches.

Character Guide: Crewmates vs. The Entity

The character designs in UNTRUST US (Sprunk) are a blend of the classic Sprunki aesthetic and sci-fi horror tropes.

The Crewmates (Normal Phase)

• Oren (The Captain): Beats. Wears a captain's hat. His sound is a steady, authoritative drum kick.
• Wenda (Comms): Melodies. Wears a headset. Provides high-pitched, digital vocal chops that simulate radio chatter.
• Pinki (Medical): Chorus. Dressed in white. Her vocals are soothing, hiding the carnage that is about to unfold.

The Suspects (Horror Phase)

• The Impostor (Red/Black): When revealed, this character's visor shatters to show a maw of sharp teeth and a long, piercing tongue. Their sound is a guttural bass that overpowers the mix.
• The Ghost (Gray): A floating, half-body version of a character who has been "ejected." They provide an eerie, whistling melody from beyond the grave.
• The Saboteur: A character who glitches in and out of existence, adding static noise and "kill sound" effects to the rhythm.

Exploring the "Parasite" Horror Sub-Genre

The concept of an entity hiding within a familiar character is a powerful trope in modern horror gaming. UNTRUST US (Sprunk) taps into the primal fear of the "Doppelganger"—the idea that your friend is actually a monster in disguise.

If you enjoy themes of shapeshifters, hidden entities, and characters that aren't what they seem, you should explore the wider world of parasite-themed mods.

These games often feature complex narratives where biology and horror merge, offering a perfect follow-up to the sci-fi terror of Untrust Us.

Community Trends: Why It's Viral

The UNTRUST US theme has exploded on YouTube and TikTok, largely due to the enduring popularity of Among Us culture mixed with the new wave of Sprunki modding.

• Animation Memes: Creators are using the audio tracks from this mod to animate "Ejection" scenes involving Sprunki characters.
• "Find the Impostor" Challenges: YouTubers play the mod and try to guess which character will trigger the horror transformation based on subtle visual cues (e.g., a character blinking sideways or twitching).
• Remixes: The "Emergency Meeting" sound effect has been remixed into heavy trap beats within the community, creating a sub-genre of "Sus-step" music.

Tips for the Ultimate Experience

• Watch the Eyes: In the Normal Phase, the Impostor character often breaks the fourth wall or looks in a different direction than the others. Use this to predict the scare.
• Listen to the Layers: The "Ghost" characters add a layer of melancholy to the track. Try muting the heavy beats to hear the hidden story in the vocals.
• Combine for Chaos: To get the true "Panic" ending, try to activate all the "Alert" sound effects simultaneously while the heavy bass is playing.

Conclusion

UNTRUST US (Sprunk) is more than just a crossover; it is a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling through sound. It takes the playful creativity of Incredibox and injects it with a dose of adrenaline and suspicion. Whether you are a fan of social deduction games or just love a good rhythm-horror experience, this mod delivers a beat that is worth dying for.
