    That was fast. Their claim of 5 years in development is histerical.

    The city map is a bought asset for a few hundred bucks. The survival mechanics were a bought kit too.

    If you cut out marketing you could build that type of asset flip in weeks to months.

    They are scammers and nobody should feel sorry for them.

    I bet even this was planned from the beginning. Get some money out of the “game” and then just disappear.

    To be fair, it seems like they’ve made 5 games and 4/5 weren’t very good. Not surprised this was their last hurrah. I know Steam scores generally don’t equate directly to sales, let alone profits, but it seems like the company was struggling.

    That sucks, but the studio was very misleading about The Day Before.

    Wow, that was fast. Usually you’d get an apology post and a promise things would get better before a studio admits it failed.

    From the post it sounds like they could’ve been swimming in debt and can’t pay for any more development.
