The Day Before studio simultaneously scraps failed Kickstarter and announces yet another game instead

The Day Before developer Fntastic has called it a day on the Kickstarter it hoped would secure funding for Escape Factory, a physics-based multiplayer co-op escape game.

In a post shared on social media platform X, the studio said the project had not “generated enough interest” and was “unlikely” to reach the goal initially set out. As such, Fntastic has decided to postpone work on Escape Factory and cancel the Kickstarter. No funds have been collected, it said.

But, don’t go thinking the developer is actually going to call it a day. Rather, in announcing the end of one game, it has also announced the start of another one: an “action-horror prop hunt” game called Items.

Yes, in that very same post where Fntastic admitted there simply isn’t enough interest in its Factory game, it said the community had been asking for a prop hunt game, so that is what it is going to do now.
