The world of video games has given us many reasons to facepalm throughout 2023, but perhaps nothing as much as ‘The Day Before’, the video game by Fntastic that has been one of the biggest failures in the history of the industry. So much so, that the studio has closed, it can no longer be purchased, and the servers will only be operational for 45 days. Phew.
The day before (failing)
If you want, you can still play, but according to Steam Charts, it is unlikely that you will find many people: between yesterday and today the peak of people playing at the same time was 2. Considering that on the first day, December 8th, there were more than 38,000 people playing at once, the drop has been unbelievable.
Now, Mytona, one of the game publishers, has announced that January 22nd will be the last day for people who want to enter to play. If they can, of course. The positive side is that everyone who hasn’t requested a refund will still receive it in the next few days. Some are asking to be accused of fraud but, frankly, they have enough on their plate and international embarrassment.
‘The Day Before’ is already considered one of the ten worst games in history, and in a year—with wonders like ‘Gollum’ or ‘King Kong’—it is remarkable. Rarely have we seen such rapid internal destruction. A simply incredible story that will come to an end on January 22nd. There is still time for some new crazy plot twist.
