The Day Before Is Shutting Off Servers In January With Steam Automatically Refunding All Players

Yet another statement has been issued on the fate of the catastrophically ill-received early access game, The Day Before, which spent no more than a few days on the market before “developer” Fntastic was shut down and the game removed from sale.

Now, it’s announced that The Day Before will be retired completely with servers being turned off on January 22nd next year. Steam will also be proactively refunding all players who have not already requested and received refunds on the game.

The note posted to social media reads:

“Dear Community,

“We regret to inform you that the development company Fntastic has officially ceased operations, and as a result The Day Before will be retired and the servers will be turned off on 22 January 2024.

“As previously communicated, Mytona, as the investor, has been working in collaboration with Steam to facilitate refunds for all game purchasers. For any players that have not already had their purchase refunded, Steam will now proactively refund all remaining players.

“We extend our gratitude for the community’s support throughout the project’s life. Unfortunately, without a development team, we had no alternative choice but to officially close the project.

“We sincerely thank all our supporters throughout this journey and wish you all a happy holiday season.”
