Against all odds, it might be possible for those who missed it to get their hands on The Day Before once again. After that, we’ll have to see who wants to create one of the worst games in the history of the medium.
“The Day Before” is one of the biggest video game debacles of recent years, if not of all time. We can only describe what happened as fraud. Just a few days after release, the studio announced the closure of the servers and the game was removed from sale on Steam. The refund is still in progress, but on paper it is no longer possible to buy it and no one will be able to play it in January. However, some people try to work around this and prevent it from going away.
The day before will not die
Before proceeding, a brief update on the situation is necessary. Fntastic took the trouble to recently release a press release about The Day Before. What we learned in particular is that the servers were scheduled to go offline on January 22, 2024. After that it will no longer be possible to start the game, which will not necessarily bother many players given the disaster that the experience represents. However, for those who want to try it at least once: Two people are working on the theme and it looks good.
We regret to inform you that the Fntastic company has officially ceased its activities. Therefore, The Day Before servers will be closed on January 22, 2024. As previously mentioned, Mytona worked as an investor with Steam to allow all buyers to receive refunds for the game. Steam is now proactively compensating all players who have not yet received a refund.
An excerpt from the Fntastic press release
Users are therefore working on a trend reversal, even if this is not necessarily what everyone wants. In fact, “Luci0” and “fskartd” are trying to make them available to the community a crack from The Day Before. In short, a pirated copy of the game that allows you to access it without paying a single cent. But how do you get around the problem of closed servers? Apparently by redirecting the server connection to a local connection. So technically we could play it offline. From what we’ve been told, it will take some time, so don’t rush it.
Beware of scams
As explained above, it is no longer possible to purchase The Day Before from the Steam store. The problem is that malicious people took advantage of this to resell keys for the game at a high price. And that’s no laughing matter, as this is a prize that can sometimes reach up to $200 and even $1,000 on certain accounts. All this to say that you should definitely not play her game and not give in to temptation. The crack that is currently being developed allows you to get it without burning your credit card. It’s also a way to keep him alive, terrible as he is.
