“The Day Before” has faced its share of controversies, including multiple delays and limited information, which led to rumors and skepticism about the game being a scam. Additionally, Fntastic faced criticism over their use of unpaid volunteers in the game’s development.
A peculiar legal dispute involving a trademark issue with a calendar app sharing the same name also led to the game being temporarily removed from Steam.
Despite these challenges, “The Day Before” is set to launch on December 7th. The game will be available on Steam in early access, priced at $39. This release marks a significant milestone for Fntastic, as the game finally becomes available for players to explore and experience firsthand.
