This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

The Day Before was advertised as a zombie survival MMO, only to be released as a horribly buggy and incomplete asset flip extraction shooter. The ensuing overwhelmingly-negative media attention and bashing from pretty much all sides was pretty much inevitable, with the various trailers and other promotional media having actually been vertical slices promising a vastly superior product.

Just days after the game's release, Fntastic announced that they were closing their doors (perhaps because the game was intended to be a rugpull?), which was followed on December 22 by an announcement that the game's servers would close on January 22, 2024.

The whole thing was such a mess that Valve started offering refunds for the game for everyone, including (in a huge rarity for Valve) those who played it for more than two hours.

To do: Everything else! (Bob mentions unused models, text, and graphics plus debug stuff.) Prerelease and development timeline.
