'The Day Before' Faces Backlash for Misleading Marketing

Game developer Fntastic accused of removing evidence of original MMO promise as players criticize the game's deviation from its marketed genre.

  • The Day Before, a game developed by Fntastic, has been released on Steam, but has been met with overwhelmingly negative reviews.
  • The game was originally marketed as an open world survival MMO, but players have discovered that it is actually an extraction shooter.
  • Players have criticized the game for its lack of open world, poor performance, and most noticeably, the missing MMO element.
  • Fntastic has been accused of removing any evidence that suggests the game was ever supposed to be an MMO, including changes made in Steam's backend and the removal of pre-release marketing content from its YouTube channel.
  • The game's release has been described as a 'scam' by some, as it did not deliver on its promises and was released in an unpolished package.
