What is a "deception game"? Is it a genre of a game?
Native speaker’s answer

Correct! The speaker says “social deception” here to indicate the game genre of “Among Us,” but “social deduction games” or “imposter games” are more common names for this genre. In these kinds of games, players try to figure out who the traitor is amongst a group of people. Ex: “Among Us” is an extremely popular social deception game. Ex: I like “Among Us” the most out of all the currently popular imposter games.
