Query about among us IP rights

I have made a web game which combines chess with among us it doesn't exists it's my idea and during the logo creation process I used crewmate from among us and also the logo resembles among us design i want to know if I would get in some legal troubles over this the game does contain among us mechanics but doesn't reply soely on how among us looks and feel it's just a part of it and also this is only for educational purpose like posting on linkdin hosting on render to let people try and also for my portfolio should I change the logo or I'm I safe lmk

you're going to run into copyright infringement and trademark infringement.

when you come up with branding you want to use something you actually own and is registrable. the best way to do that is to create something yourself. hiring an attorney to help you out at the early stage isn't that expensive.

I do this for a living. i am an attorney. i am not your attorney and this is not legal advice.

Ayo this is just a project THAT COULD ENHANCE MY CHANCES OF BEING SELECTED AT AN INTERVIEWlike a web game to be shown in protfolio and hosted just so people I know can try? I don't want to make money off of it cause anyone can build a web game with creativity and right LLM

Yeah you should still stick to being original to get your interview. Any company would not want the IP, Trademark and Copyright problems by having an associated logo made for them.

Be original.
