The Day Before team, who have been quite the troublemakers, are eager to get a second chance, but it seems that none of their attempts are working.

After the failure of The Day Before, the studio released a statement saying that their next game, Escape Factory, will show us what they can do to win us over. Only they needed crowdfunding, but it looks like the Kickstarter didn’t work out for them. They’ve announced that they’re suspending work on the game and pulling the Kickstarter, so all backers will get their money back. Fntastic didn’t raise any money either, so there should be no obstacle to a refund.

Their return was not well received by the public, but they have announced a new game that will be an action horror prop hunt similar to Propnight. It was one of their most successful games, but they lost the rights, so they’re essentially remaking it, only now the project is called Items. According to Fntastic, the public has been asking for something like this, but since Escape Factory required a Kickstarter, the team will probably resort to that as well, since they say they’ll need “significant resources” to develop it. For this reason, they have also decided to create mobile projects in the meantime to support the Items budget.

In their Twitter announcement, Fntastic also says that they may launch a new Kickstarter or consider other options to release the Itemset. This sounds very optimistic from them, but it doesn’t automatically mean that the public will be receptive to their game. After all, Fntastic has to rebuild trust after the events of The Day Before. But here’s the truth: community trust can be gained over time, but it can be lost in a matter of moments. And regaining it will be much harder for them.

And because of that, who knows what the chances are of the items being released. Escape Factory’s plans didn’t really go anywhere either…
