Also: Where do we start? The day before Was a game that, miraculously, managed to attract a loyal fan base. This is despite it being released amid a flood of accusations of copying other games. Gamers around the world dreamed that it could be the ultimate zombie survival game – and indeed, many hoped that the developers at Fntastic might just keep their big promises. Spoiler: They don’t have it.

The tragic ending of The Day Before

The game appeared in early access and disappeared faster than a zombie can fall over. But don’t worry! Fntastic is back with a new game and, better yet, an even bigger promise. Naturally! Why quit after a little debacle when you can instead have a second chance (and the wallets of its loyal fans) can demand? After all, it was the fault of the others who only had bad intentions.

“Everyone deserves a second chance”the studio announced pathetically on The studio apologized “deeply.” The day before and vow to do everything better from now on.
