Among Us developer Innersloth has discovered a reference to its recreation in the brand new chapters of Deltarune, sparking a little little bit of pleasant back-and-forth between Innersloth and Deltarune developer Toby Fox on social media.
Warning! No main plot spoilers might be mentioned in this text, but when you do not need to know something about something that occurs in Deltarune Chapter 4, possibly this text is not for you!
The reference might be discovered initially of Chapter 4, when Kris, Susie, and Noelle are exploring Noelle’s home. Kris can lead the gang into a closet stuffed with empty present bins, and if Kris chooses to look at a number of of the bins, Noelle will ask Kris what they’re doing.
To this, Susie reponds, “I imply… gotta admit this room is kinda sus… particularly that vent.” Noelle then replies, “Haha, good reference, Susie!” …although Susie would not appear to know what Noelle is speaking about (“Huh? …reference?”)
Susie was, in fact, unintentionally calling to thoughts Among Us, each through the use of the phrase “sus” and referencing vents, which Among Us gamers regularly cover in. This has seemingly thrilled the Innersloth social media particular person, who took to X / Twitter to say, “AHHHHH AMONG US REFERENCE IN DELTARUNE SKDJDSLSLX;LSKDK IMMA CRASH OUT” adopted by “thanks king @tobyfox”
In response, Fox determined to do a little trolling:

He posted a faux screenshot of Deltarune patch notes, which learn:
We’re releasing a hotfix for PC & Mac to treatment some points occurring in the sport. You possibly can affirm the model quantity on the underside proper of the file choose display screen.

Eliminated amongst us
Innersloth replied with “RESPECT.” If it isn’t obvious, Fox did not truly take away the reference; he is simply goofing round. Funnily sufficient, this gag can also be a foolish method to word that Fox has been taking part in round with model numbers: the 2021 launch of chapters 1 and a pair of was marked as model 1.0, however as an alternative of chapters 3 and 4 being 2.0, the brand new launch was v.0.0.087.
Deltarune chapters 3 and 4 launched final week to rapid skyrocketing recognition on Steam, and our personal reviewer gave the total recreation a 9/10, saying that despite the fact that the story’s solely midway finished, “Deltarune’s unimaginable story is already bursting with hilarious attraction, unforgettable characters, and an iconic soundtrack that make it price investing your time in.”
