The Day Before is a game that currently has more attention than most AAA titles. From a promising-looking work presented primarily through a minimum of gameplay images, within a few days it became a title that failed to convince the community with gameplay footage or originality, which was the last reason to criticize the developers. They defend themselves against the world’s current reactions as follows: “We live in an age of misinformation and the absence of fact-checking. Anyone can claim anything while chasing ratings and everyone will believe it. But disinformation needs to be fought, because it hurts not only us, but also other smaller studios. They even have an effect on team members.“

It’s interesting that the studio doesn’t state what kind of misinformation it is exactly. However, this move did not appeal much to the community, as most of the negative news directed against The Day Before was supported by enough information. Many users even consider this statement to be one of the worst ever, and a large part of them agree that perhaps it would be better if the company did not comment. The relatively funny thing about the whole situation is that the company behind the game would Fntastic in the future she wanted to help newbies deal with misinformation and find out where it comes from, which is a really weird way to deal with problems.
