The Day Before - widely regarded as the worst game of 2023 - might be getting an unofficial offline version soon, as a work-in-progress snapshot from Twitter (X) user Luci0 reveals. Read on to learn more.
The Day Before Disaster
Twitter (X) User Luci0 Reveals Snapshot of An Offline Crack
The Day Before is 2023’s latest video game industry scandal, following a disastrous release that was preceded by shattered expectations and unfulfilled promises. With the game’s developer studio, Fntastic, going underground mere days after the said debacle, buzz about the game soon died down; that is until Twitter(X) user Luci0 revealed a work-in-progress snapshot of an unofficial crack of the game.
Information about the crack is sparse, as Luci0 only provided a single image. His caption to the image revealed that the crack was being developed to allow offline play to the fallen extraction shooter. No potential release date or additional features were mentioned, so we are left to speculate just how comprehensive Luci0’s unofficial offline version can be.
In The Shadow of a Flawed Release
Luci0’s cracked version of The Day Before is just one of many cascading consequences left in the wake of the game’s original release. With Fntastic’s immediate shutdown and consequent withdrawal from the public eye, scalpers have taken to the scene, selling online-capable copies of The Day Before for varying prices.
Luci0’s unofficial version may be a means for the curious to experience the travesty of Fntastic’s unfulfilled promises firsthand without paying ludicrous amounts of money. Until the crack releases, however, scalpers may be the only other way to see what all the negative press is about.
What The Future Holds for The Day Before
Nothing. The game and its studio are gone, hence the rarity and perceived value of The Day Before’s few remaining copies. With servers set to shut down by January 22, 2024, these copies will also lose their value before long. Luci0’s unofficial offline version of the game is sure to garner some attention from the curious and spiteful, but considering the game’s general lack of quality and the malcontent it garnered from the public, we don’t expect it to stay significant for very long.
