Developer Fntastic has announced the closure of its studio a week after the game’s early access release.The Day Before“. The company cited the game’s financial failure as the main reason for the closure. “The Day Before” was released in early access for PC via Steam on December 7 and received mostly negative reviews. Initially, it was expected to remain in early access for six to eight months, but with the closure of Fntastic, the game’s future is left uncertain. For now, the servers will remain online.
Full Message About Fntastic Closing: Today we announce the closure of the 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 hours of work in the development of “The Day Before”, which was our first big game. We really wanted to release new patches to reveal the game’s full potential, but unfortunately we don’t have the funds to continue the work.
It is important to note that we did not take any money from the public during the development of “The Day Before”; there were no pre-sales or crowdfunding campaigns. We worked tirelessly for five years, devoting our blood, sweat and tears to the game. At this time, the future of “The Day Before” and “Propnight” is unknown, but the servers will remain operational. We apologize if we do not meet your expectations. We did our best, but unfortunately we underestimated our capabilities. Creating games is an incredibly difficult challenge.
This announcement puts an end to Fntastic’s journey and raises uncertainties about the fate of “The Day Before” and its other project, “Propnight.” Players who have been following the development of these games are now awaiting future updates on the status of the servers and the future of these gaming experiences.
