The Day Before servers shutdown in January, Steam providing refunds
What has been a bizarre development and release saga for The Day Before is coming to an end, after it has been announced by Mytona that the game will shutdown on January 22nd.

Today, it has been announced that Steam is proactively providing refunds to everyone who purchased the game, with The Day Before completely moved from sale. In a statement, the investor Mytona today said,
