In a surprising twist, Fntastic, the development studio behind "The Day Before," has announced its closure due to financial failure shortly after the game’s early access release. Despite being initially marketed as an open-world MMO, "The Day Before" quickly faced criticisms for numerous bugs, server issues, and for being more of an extraction shooter, leading to a substantial drop in its player count and negative Steam reviews. The culmination of controversies surrounding the game’s development, including the use of unpaid workers and multiple delays, seeded doubt within the gaming community, some of whom considered the game a scam. Following the sudden halt of the studio, questions about the refund process for early access purchases have been reignited among players. "The Day Before" faced one of the worst launches, with the company confirming that all incoming funds would be allocated toward settling debts.

Is "The Day Before" still playable after the studio's closure?

Yes, "The Day Before" remains playable, as the servers are still operational despite Fntastic's closure. However, the future of the game and its support are uncertain.
