Fntastic Addresses Allegations Surrounding The Day Before's Development

Fntastic has issued a response to allegations of misinformation regarding the development and financial status of The Day Before. The studio's statement, which has since been deleted from social media, addressed claims that it misled players. According to the post, Fntastic did not accept any funds from users, nor did it engage in crowdfunding or offer pre-orders for the game. Instead, the company claims to have worked with its publisher to provide refunds to all players, including those who did not request them. The statement also addressed claims from former staff members, stating that despite its limited budget as a small indie company, Fntastic provided relocation and healthcare assistance to employees and helped with personal matters such as equipment purchases and mortgage payments. This response comes after a series of controversies surrounding The Day Before, including its development using unpaid staff and a trademark claim that led to the game's delay and delisting on Steam.
