The Day Before publisher announces studio shutdown amid financial troubles

Published , by Donovan Erskine

Fntastic caught plenty of bad press last week following the release of The Day Before, an online survival game that had been accused of stealing assets and misleading audiences in its marketing. After releasing to an Overwhelmingly Negative review consensus on Steam and countless viral social media posts about its shortcomings, the studio behind The Day Before is closing its doors. Fntastic has announced that the studio is shutting down, calling The Day Before a financial failure.

Fntastic shared an official statement on Twitter/X this afternoon to announce its closure.
