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.
Update
Dear Community,
We would like to provide with an update. We are sorry for the fact that the game didn’t meet the expectations of the majority of the players. Today we are working with Steam to open up refunds for any players who choose to make a refund. We’ll give further updates in the nearest future.
