Game Over: The Day Before’s Untimely Demise
Game development disaster 'The Day Before' will permanently shut down on January 22, 2024. A statement released this morning on ...
In just one month, the servers for The Day Before will be shutting down.
In a shocking turn of events, the highly anticipated game The Day Before is set to meet its untimely demise on January 22nd, 2024. Players were given a month’s notice through a statement posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), leaving them with just over 30 days to bid farewell to this once-hyped title.
A Brief Existence
It’s hard to believe that The Day Before only launched in early access on December 7th. With the game’s servers active for a mere 48 days, its lifespan is even shorter than Liz Truss’ tenure as Prime Minister. Talk about a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it experience!
Closing Down Shop
“We extend our gratitude for the community’s support throughout the project’s life,” the statement reads, in an attempt to express gratitude for the loyal fanbase. However, the reality is that without a development team, the project can no longer sustain itself, forcing it to close down indefinitely.
“We sincerely thank all our supporters throughout this journey and wish you all a happy holiday season.” 🎉❄️☃️
What Went Wrong?
Only four days after its early access launch, The Day Before developer Fntastic announced the game’s shutdown. The decision came following an overwhelmingly negative response from players, leading to financial failure and debts that the game’s income couldn’t cover.

In his quick impressions on The Day Before, Eurogamer’s Ed Nightingale summed it up by stating, “I quickly switched it off. It’s clear this is an incredibly basic game with little to it and, as the Steam reviews suggest, does not live up to the expectations set by Fntastic.” Ouch!
Seeking Refunds
Steam, always striving to be the hero players deserve, is “proactively” refunding the game to anyone who hasn’t already requested their money back from publisher Mytona. It’s a small gesture, but at least it lessens the sting of this gaming disaster.
Q&A: What Will Players Want to Know?
To address the burning questions that players and fans may have, here are some quick Q&A tidbits:
Q: Can I still play The Day Before until January 22nd, 2024? A: Yes, the game will remain accessible until the official closure date, so make the most of your remaining time!
Q: Will there be any new content or updates before the game’s closure? A: Unfortunately, with no development team behind it, no further updates or new content are expected.
Q: What will happen to my in-game purchases? A: It’s unclear at this point what will happen to any in-game purchases, so it’s best to reach out to the publisher for clarification.
Q: Are there any potential refunds for players who already purchased the game? A: Yes, Steam is offering proactive refunds for those who haven’t already requested a refund from the publisher.
