Deltarune Points to Among Us: Toby Fox's Take on the Find

The popular indie games Among Us and Deltarune have crossed paths in a playful nod during Deltarune Chapter 4. In a particular scene, characters Kris and Susie explore Noelle's house, where Susie makes a comment that references the gameplay mechanics of Among Us, using the word "sus" and talking about vents, which is a well-known element in Among Us. This cheeky reference was met with excitement from Among Us developer Innersloth, who shared their enthusiasm on social media. In a humorous exchange, Deltarune creator Toby Fox responded by jokingly claiming to remove the Among Us reference in a mock patch note, showcasing the camaraderie between indie developers. Deltarune continues to garner attention, especially after the launch of its Chapters 3 and 4, which have been received positively by players and critics alike, with a significant rating of 9/10 for its engaging story and memorable characters.

The reference occurs when Susie calls Noelle's room "kinda sus," hinting at the Among Us term, and mentions a vent, reminiscent of hiding spots from the game. Noelle acknowledges the reference, which leads to a light-hearted exchange about its meaning.

Deltarune is the follow-up to Toby Fox's critically acclaimed game Undertale, known for its unique storytelling and characters. The game has gained a significant fanbase and maintains a reputation for its quirky humor and impressive soundtrack. With the chapters being released episodically, players eagerly anticipate further developments in the narrative and character arcs.
