Among Us Fan Trailer Reinvents the Franchise as a GameBoy Game
An Among Us fan has shared a video capturing what the popular online game may have looked and played like on Nintendo's Game Boy handheld.

Innsersloth's Among Us found massive popularity in recent months as gamers and online viewers new to the game enjoyed watching, participating and helping to deduce which of the characters could be Imposters among the Crewmates. One fan, however, looked at Among Us' bright colors and gameplay and wondered what it might look like transposed to the green screened aesthetic of Nintendo's Game Boy handheld.
YouTuber Lumpy Touch shared a video that successfully captures the feeling of an Among Us session, complete with the distrust, paranoia and discussion over potential Imposters. The macabre title screen features options for a Single Player or Multiplayer game, with the old Game Boy caveat that a multiplayer game "requires 4-player link cable," as the bodies of ejected Crewmates float in the background.
Once all four players have joined the game, the video places them in Among Us' familiar spaceship setting as the 'player' customizes their character, including the option to have a pet. Charted with several tasks, the protagonist Crewmate then proceeds to accomplish what needs to be done while avoiding potential Imposters. Unfortunately, things don't go too well for them as, after turning on the lights, they are eaten by an Imposter.
This leads to a discussion among the survivors as they try to determine who the Imposter could be. This exchange includes a nice tongue-in-cheek joke at the expense of the Game Boy as one Crewmate suggests the Imposter was "green." Another then comments, "lol we're all green," in reference to the Game Boy's screen.
Released in June 2018, Among Us found success this year as an online social deduction game. It takes place in a space-themed setting where gamers play as either a Crewmate or an Imposter. The goal for the Crewmate players is to identity the Imposters on board while completing tasks. Conversely, the Imposters aim to sabotage the ship and kill the Crewmates before they can accomplish their goals.
