A Japanese player manages to bring a creative crossover to their Animal Crossing: New Horizons island that's pretty sus.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons fans are famous for the creative and interesting ways they're able to use the game's tools. They've brought all sorts of strange and fascinating crossovers to their islands, but this latest one is a little sus.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a game for the Nintendo Switch where the player takes the role of a human moving to a deserted island with a few adorable animal friends. The game encourages creativity, as it allows the player to customize their house and create some supremely clever Animal Crossing islands. Among Us is a suspenseful deduction game in the vein of Mafia or Werewolf. The player is randomly given the role of either a crew member or an Impostor, and it's the job of the crew members to sus out the Impostors before they kill all of the crew, while avoiding being accused of being an Impostor themselves.

A Japanese player managed to turn their island into the Among Us map Polus. They created the area in a way that was stunningly faithful. The island was divided into rooms that correspond to the rooms in the map, connected by paths like in Among Us. The player was even able to use the pipes from Super Mario Bros. crossover items to recreate the vents the impostors from Among Us use to stealthily move around.

Nintendo has done some official crossovers with Animal Crossing: New Horizons, such as the upcoming Hello Kitty crossover, but nothing like this. The ingenuity the player used when creating things from Among Us that don't have counterparts in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is remarkable. They used televisions to stand in for monitors, lava lamps for containers of colored fluid, and even a lighthouse to stand in for the spaceship. Each room from Polus has a corresponding room on their island.

Among the things to do after K.K. Slider has performed on the player's island, this is probably the most impressive. It's an incredible feat of creativity on the part of the creator. It must have taken an incredibly long time to get everything in place and situated just perfectly.

Now they just need to think of a way to use Animal Crossing: New Horizons' multiplayer features to invite players over to their island for a game of Animal Crossing: Among Us. With the vents and rooms, it would be easy enough to set up, the only issues are how to decide which players are the Impostors, and how to incorporate crew member tasks into Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is out now on Nintendo Switch.
