A YouTuber has combined the hit multiplayer deduction game Among Us with the beloved American history musical Hamilton in an animated crossover music video. Despite a very obscure release in 2018, Among Us has exploded in popularity in recent weeks, and has even been streamed by US politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in an attempt to raise voter awareness.

When a video game gets this prominent, an outpouring of fan content is sure to follow. Among Us is no exception to this rule; players have embraced the game’s adorable astronauts in a variety of incredible ways. The little bean-like space explorers have appeared in music videos, fan art, cosplays, even terrifying high-quality computer animations. For the past month or so, Among Us has ruled the internet, and its grasp is all but inescapable.

YouTuber Lumiex took their fan creation for the beloved multiplayer game in an original direction by mashing it up with Hamilton. Specifically, they put together an animated music video set to Aaron Burr’s iconic song, “The Room Where It Happens.” While the original song expresses Burr’s frustration at being left out of the political maneuverings of the burgeoning United States, Lumiex puts a new twist on it, using the negotiations and schemes highlighted throughout the song to narrate a pair of Impostors turning the rest of the crew against each other and subtly eliminating their opponents. While the literal meaning of the words doesn’t match up with the events in the video, the style and tone of the song fits the video perfectly, and despite one inconsistency with regards to the rules of Among Us, the video is still very well made.

Much like Among Us, Hamilton has also enjoyed a very significant turn in the limelight. It premiered in 2015 to enthusiastic and widespread acclaim, going on to win Best Musical at the 2016 Tony Awards. It became such a cultural phenomenon that earlier this year Disney made it available to stream on Disney+. This isn’t the first time fans have paid homage to it in video game form, either; back in July, a fan recreated a Hamilton song in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The musical has left a very potent legacy on popular culture in only five years, which is very fitting, considering how prominently the idea of a legacy features in the play.

As Among Us continues to prosper, the amount of creative ways fans are paying homage to it only grows. Players love these little astronauts so much that they’ve even put them on birthday cakes. The multiplayer game is an incredible phenomenon, and the more people play it, the more incredible works of art will get produced. It’s truly a good time to be an Among Us fan.
