The Day Before

Developer Fntastic, whose exploits we've long chronicled as they once threatened to bring The Day Before to PS5, is back again. Having laid low for a while, the studio emerged last month, attempting to raise funds for a new "project". That didn't work, so the persistent team is back with another pitch.

IGN spotlighted this latest development. After inexplicably raising over $3,000 from forgiving backers, the campaign failed to achieve its target of $20k, so the money will be refunded per Kickstarter policy. Addressing its "dear community," incredibly, as if to save the expense of a second post, Fntastic has the gall to announce a new game in the same breath, called "Items." This project will, obviously, "require significant resources," so the dev will pivot, and develop high-quality mobile games in the meantime, likely announcing a new Kickstarter once (if) a demo for Items gets made.

Are you surprised at all to see this shameless pivot from Fntastic? Let us know in the comments section below.
