While his games draw inspiration from classic franchises like Mother and Mario &amp; Luigi, he also takes the time to reference more recent titles. After Among Us development studio Innersloth discovered <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AmongUsGame\/status\/1932974746993557525\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">its hit game was referenced in Deltarune<\/a>, Fox quickly replied in <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/undertale-and-deltarune-creator-toby-fox-is-a-big-fan-of-mob-psycho-100\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">his trademark, tongue-in-cheek way<\/a>, pretending to remove it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1259\" height=\"709\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1259px) 100vw, 1259px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250611-48975-001.jpg\" alt=\"Deltarune Among Us reference\" class=\"wp-image-48979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250611-48975-001.jpg 1259w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250611-48975-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250611-48975-001-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Among Us reference can be found in Deltarune Chapter 4, when Kris and Susie visit their classmate Noelle\u2019s house to work on their school project. Upon entering a storage closet filled with empty gift boxes, Susie comments on how &#8220;sus&#8221; the room is, which is a term Among Us players often use when they think one of them is acting suspiciously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A vent behind the box makes the reference more apparent, as they can be used by Impostors in Among Us to quickly traverse the game\u2019s maps. While this particular Deltarune vent is used later on, there are no Impostors to be found.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1260\" height=\"713\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1260px) 100vw, 1260px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250611-48975-002.jpg\" alt=\"Deltarune Among Us reference\" class=\"wp-image-48981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250611-48975-002.jpg 1260w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250611-48975-002-380x215.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250611-48975-002-768x435.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking that Susie is an Among Us fan, Noelle commends her friend\u2019s quick wit.
