This move comes after a tumultuous development process and a controversial release that left players disillusioned. Surprisingly, asThe Day Beforeapproaches its official shutdown, some players are still interested in playing the game.
The Day Before, published by Mytona, faced severe criticism for its troubled development and a controversial launch that fell short of many promises. The most significant discrepancy wasThe Day Before’s initial billing as an MMO, only for players to discover upon release that it was an extraction shooter. The gap between the promised features and the delivered product resulted in widespread accusations of deception and scam. This triggered a wave of negative criticism, with many players requesting refunds. Ultimately, this downturn led to the game becoming a commercial failure, prompting its publisher to announce the forthcoming closure ofThe Day Beforeservers.
AmidThe Day Before’s impending closure, a Twitter user named Luci0 shared a work-in-progress image, hinting at the development of a crack that could potentially allow players to play the game offline. This unofficial version has no intended release date, and the player hasn’t shared any further information. It looks like, despite the game’s highly publicized flaws and imminent closure, some players remain interested in experiencingThe Day Beforefirsthand.
It’s not entirely clear who would want to play such a broken game, but in addition to this unofficial crack version, there have been reports ofindividuals scalpingThe Day Beforeonline at varying prices, ranging from $15 to an astonishing $1,000. Some are even offering accounts with the game already activated, creating a secondary market for a title marred by controversy.
In addition to players complaining aboutThe Day Before’s absence of open-world components, bugs, crashes, and difficulties in finding open servers have further fueled the discontent. The controversy reached a tipping point when Fntastic, the studio behind the game, began erasing its digital presence.The Day Before’s Discord channels were shut down, YouTube content was removed, and even the CEO removed themselves from Twitter. The studio ultimately announced its closure, and the publisher marked the end ofThe Day Before’s troubled journey, with servers scheduled to shut down on July 04, 2025.
Despitemany poorly rated video games in 2023,The Day Beforeis already considered by several players as the worst game of the year. However, despite this setback, the unexpected development of an unofficial offline version proves that players are still curious about the game.
