Why on Earth would Among Us 3D do a parody of the Believe trailer?Ali C., internally (monologue and in-office)
The most dramatic video of my life@ilplay on YouTube
The real ones get the reference@Lajos_Kelemen YouTube
Sure, all of the views and shares are nice, but what we really wanted to know is if we hit the mark with gamers. And the only way to do that is by reading the comments. Initial sentiment was a ton of excitement about the release itself, but then people started noticing the framing, the music and the final \\\"Bean-lieve\\\" message. All of a sudden, FPS players were commenting on an Among Us game!
Things quickly reached a turning point when we got one comment on YouTube that read, “my kids might be the ones that are playing this all the time, but the reference is just for me (and the other olds). Thank you.” Tons of comments in a similar vein followed, and we even got a response from John Halo himself calling us suspicious.

Parents have been watching their kids play Among Us 3D, and the 2D game was transformative for so many when we were isolating during a global pandemic. Ali's vision was to let them know that we hear them. Behind the Bean is a group of dedicated developers who have loved games for decades. We’re really all just a bunch of people who love games, so let’s celebrate them in whatever form they take throughout the years and go play.
We hope to see you in our next lobby! Stay suspicious and, above all, Bean-lieve.
