One volunteer developer onThe Day Beforehas spoken out against the game, claiming that “everything was a lie”.
The Day Before fallout continues. To bring you up to speed,The Day Beforeis a game that promised a lot, and delivered very little. Pitched as an open-world post-apocalyptic MMO, akin toThe Last of Us, the game was instead a poorly crafted extraction shooter packed to the rafters with bugs, glitches, and shoddy animations. The release product did not match trailers or previous gameplay showcases in any way, shape, or form leading many players to brand the game a scam. It was soonflooded with negative reviews. Fntastic eventually pulledThe Day Beforefrom sale, adding that thestudio would also be shutting down.
Take a look atThe Day Before’s initial announcement trailer below.
Steamis seizing the moment,offering a ‘The Day After’ survival game bundle. If you did purchaseThe Day Before, you canapply for a refund on Steamregardless of how many hours you’ve spent playing the game. Just how didThe Day Beforeend up in this mess? Well, one volunteer developer has lifted the curtain on some of the behind the scenes chaos.

RobWolfB said volunteers were treated “like c**p” while they also began to notice discrepancies between the trailers and what was being produced. “For every trailer, gameplay, or video in general that was released, we all had our thoughts but nobody wanted to speak against them,” they said. “Turns out, everything was a lie and all I did was for nothing. For all the work I have done, all I received was Propcoins [virtual currency in Fntastic’s gamePropnight], some keys, and a thank you. I hope everyone is receiving their money back. I also hope someone will file a lawsuit or something because of all these lies.”
I can’t see this debacle dying down anytime soon.
