The Day Before has attracted plenty of controversy during its development, which, so far, has included a copyright strike and accusations of plagiarism.
Developer Fntastic has once again drawn flak as the studio released a bizarre PR statement addressing issues hounding its upcoming survival horror MMO.
Just two days before the game's release, Fntastic shared a post on X titled "Revelations from Fntastic - ahead of the Day Before release." In the lengthy tweet, the studio requested the community not to accuse it of "scamming" and apologized for not having the "best marketing" for the highly anticipated survival game.
The statement started by addressing future players of The Day Before and people who "didn't believe in us." Fntastic said to its doubters, "We made this game for you, too. We accept any kind of criticism and don't hold a grudge against you."
The studio also discussed the poor marketing and accusations of copying teasers from other titles. The game has been called vaporware by skeptics based on the most recent trailers. Many in the gaming community also believe that the initial gameplay trailer was designed specifically to draw attention to the game and deemed that the project was overly ambitious for a small independent studio to finish.
