Co-founders of the studio developing Steam wishlist hitThe Day Beforehave rejected claims the game is a scam. The post-apocalyptic survival MMO wasdelayedfrom March to November this week as it turned out the devs hadn’t actually got the game trademarked, prompting accusations from within the game’s Discord and Reddit communities that it might not exist at all. Talking to IGN, Eduard and Aisen Gotovtsev insisted that the delay was necessary and had been planned before the game’s Steam store page was removed.

“We planned to move the game’s release before and plan to announce it with Mytona in a 10-minute gameplay video, and then you all know what happened,” the brothers toldIGN. “So to be on the safe side, to ensure there are no more transfers, we, along with the publisher chose November 10. That is a safe date, given the trademark dispute.”
The Day Before’s head community moderator, Wholf, had initially advised players on the game’s Steam forums to be patient and wait for Valve to put the store page back up. That post has since been deleted, however. Wholf thenseemed to call into questionwhether the game was even real on The Day Before’s Discord server, stating that they’d never seen any of the proposed raw gameplay footage - although that’s since been deleted too.
In a slightly bizarre move, the end of Fntastic’s statement to IGN sees them compare themselves to a 90s action movie hero. “Making a fantastic journey from the very ends of the earth, we feel like that simple guy from 90s action movies. You probably remember him as the hero who breaks through the veil of disbelief when no one believes in him, but he finds the inner strength to win and prove to everyone what he is worth in the end.”
See, lads, it’s that kind of thing that makes people wonder. In any case, The Day Before is now due out on Steam on November 10th, but the store page is still down for the time being.
