Fntastic, the studio behind the failed extraction shooter that was supposed to be an MMO and ultimately tanked the whole studio, has relaunched as Fntastic 2.0 with a "plan for recovery" that includes a new crowdfunded co-op "escape game".
From Steam's most-anticipated MMO to a bland, empty survival shooter that killed a studio, The Day Before is a deeply weird game.
You can hit that link to read the whole bizarre story, but it includes a nine-month delay due to a trademark issue, a catastrophic launch met with damning reviews and complaints from players that it wasn't an MMO as originally marketed, seemingly scrubbed genre tags, and then Fntastic's abrupt closure four days after launch.
The Day Before was pulled from Steam the same day. The ensuing fallout lasted for weeks and included allegations from former staff of awful working conditions and mismanagement to the extent that some devs didn't know they were supposed to be making an MMO and inflammatory comments from the studio blaming "the hate campaign" for the whole fiasco.
Over on Fntastic's official website, there's a downloadable PDF that details the studio's plan to win back the trust of its players.
