The Day Before developer Fntastic has shut down one week after the game’s Early Access launch, the company announced, citing the game’s financial failure as reason for the closure.
The Day Before launched in Early Access for PC via Steam on December 7 to “mostly negative” reviews. It was expected to remain in Early Access for six to eight months, but now that Fntastic has shut down, the future of the game is unknown. Servers will remain online for the time being.
Get the full message on Fntastic’s closure below.
Today, we announce the closure of Fntastic studio. Unfortunately, The Day Before has failed financially, and we lack the funds to continue. All income received is being used to pay off debts to our partners.
We invested all our efforts, resources, and man-hours into the development of The Day Before, which was our first huge game. We really wanted to release new patches to reveal the full potential of the game, but unfortunately, we don’t have the funding to continue the work.
It’s important to note that we didn’t take any money from the public during the development of The Day Before; there were no pre-orders or crowdfunding campaigns. We worked tirelessly for five years, pouring our blood, sweat, and tears into the game.
At the moment, the future of The Day Before and Propnight is unknown, but the servers will remain operational.
We apologize if we didn’t meet your expectations. We did everything within our power, but unfortunately, we miscalculated our capabilities. Creating games is an incredibly challenging endeavor.
We’re grateful to everyone who supported us during these difficult years. It’s been a fantastic journey over the past eight
