Fntastic posted a statement to X detailing the closure and revealed The Day Before had failed financially, and we lack the funds to continue. All income received is being used to pay off debts to our partners.” "We invested all our efforts, resources and man-hours into the development of The Day Before, which was our first huge game. We really wanted to release new patches to reveal the full potential of the game, but unfortunately, we don't have the funding to continue the work. "It's important to note that we didn't take any money from the public during the development of The Day Before; there were no pre-orders or crowdfunding campaigns. We worked tirelessly for five years, pouring our blood, sweat and tears into the game. "At the moment, the future of The Day Before and Propnight is unknown, but servers will stay operational. We apologise if we didn't meet your expectations. We did everything within our power, but unfortunately, we miscalculated our capabilities. Creating games is an incredibly challenging endeavour." Having been accused that the game was a scam on frequent occasions since the game went into development, Fntastic released also released a statement a few days ago, apologizing for the marketing for the game and asking fans, ‘please don’t accuse us of scamming’.
