When the Servers Go Offline, Yesterday Disappears

- Controversy over incentivizing strategy and trademark issues
- Fntastic's closure and unavailable refunds from Mytona
- Game's failure attributed to bugs and glitches
A Controversial PC Game Bites the Dust
A serene scene in the forest, marked by the strumming of an acoustic guitar and sizzling meat over an open flame, is contrasted by the sudden downfall of a much-anticipated game. The Day Before, a PC-only shooter, is officially no more, a mere month and a half post-launch.
From Hype to Oblivion
The much-publicized zombie game, brought to life by developer Fntastic, shut down almost immediately after its release. Initially, it lingered in a state of uncertainty, but by January 22, all servers were turned off, leaving the game completely unplayable.

Controversy and Closure
The Day Before was once one of Steam’s most desired titles of 2023. It was surrounded by controversy due to the dev team's strategy of incentivizing volunteers with “free codes” and “participation certificates”. However, the game was pulled from Valve’s game distribution platform over alleged trademark issues, leading to a nine-month delay.
The End of an Era
According to reports, the game’s servers are now officially non-operational. The Day Before's website license has expired and Fntastic's own website is nothing more than an image announcing the studio's closure.
Refunds and Reactions
Mytona, the publisher, had promised automatic refunds to any player who requested one. However, The Day Before is nowhere to be found on Mytona’s website now. It seems we have returned to the time before The Day Before was released.
Final Thoughts
The Day Before was riddled with game-breaking bugs and glitches. It's a classic example of how not to launch a game. While it's sad to see any game go, perhaps it's for the best in this case.
