The Day Before community is somehow even more confused after watching its new dev vlog

gamesradar.com:

The Day Before developer Fntastic released a short "dev vlog" earlier today as part of its ongoing "Life at Fntastic" video series, but rather than clear the air around the increasingly opaque game, it's confused everyone even more. 

The six-minute video consists of old but technically current gameplay, much older footage from pre-alpha prototypes, and brief shots of narrator Dana Soltangazinova, a Fntastic communications team member. The video was first teased a few days ago, and in the few hours since it was published on YouTube, it's racked up 741 dislikes to about 1,000 likes – not a biblical ratio by any means, but not an encouraging one. Recent responses on the studio's Twitter post (opens in new tab) about the video aren't overwhelmingly positive either. 

Bewildered and disappointed fans have latched onto two main oddities here. First of all, there's a distinct lack of devs in this dev vlog. Soltangazinova is the only featured team member, which wouldn't be that strange if it weren't for the circumstances surrounding this video. But after a string of alleged setbacks including a delisted gameplay trailer and deleted Steam page, Fntastic is now in the unenviable position of needing to definitively prove that The Day Before is an actual video game, and this is the second consecutive video from the studio to dance around actual game development. 

If I was going to release a dev vlog amidst white-hot controversy over the very existence of my game, I'd probably want to show some never-before-seen gameplay and have multiple designers from different disciplines speak to how that gameplay came to be. Alas, the only other Fntastic contributors mentioned in the video are "volunteers who have been helping us with our Discord
