The Day Before proves that not every wishlist-topping game on Steam is going to be good. Although the game is more of an exception to the rule, it's still worth taking note of what's happening, because, after spending some time being an internet darling, it's now plummeting face-first into controversial waters following its early access release.

Despite its initial hype, The Day Before is currently besieged by a wave of literally "Overwhelmingly Negative" reviews on Steam, casting a shadow over its future.

The multitude of issues plaguing The Day Before ranges from a series of technical glitches to a stark departure from its promised features. Players have reported severe bugs, such as falling through the in-game world as soon as they take control of their character and encountering impassable barriers due to glitches. These bugs not only hinder gameplay but also create a sense of frustration and disappointment among players who had high expectations for the game.

The graph shows that, while players showed interest in The Day Before, the player count is dropping fast.

Compounding the technical issues, players have also struggled with server instability. Many have found it impossible to connect to the game, with servers quickly filling up and leaving players locked out. This has led to a significant portion of the game's community being unable to access and play the game they had been eagerly awaiting.
