A couple of modders are currently working on an offline mod for the troubled The Day Before, which would add an offline mode.

• Modders are working on an offline mod for troubled game The Day Before.

• Development studio Fntastic has closed its doors and the game’s servers will shut down in January.

• Luci0 and fskartd are working on a crack that would allow players to play the game offline.

    It’s extra funny to me how there are people actively working on an offline mod for the scam of the year, but Starfield is not getting a co-op mod because it’s so dogshit. That alone is a special award, Todd.

      I don’t understand why everyone is calling it a scam. Everyone got refunded, right? Seems like they just had a better marketing team than development team.

        The scam was likely on the investors who funded the game for 5 years.

        It was only sold, presumably, so they couldnt be taken to court for failing to deliver. Technically they did publish. It was just a flop

        Just because they started giving out refunds because of public outcry doesn’t mean it wasn’t a scam.

        There are some games which under deliver or are broken on release, but this was barely a game- yet they shipped it anyway.

          It’s not the studio that handles refunds, it’s Steam. They hold onto the money for a while after a sale is made, and didn’t even have a chance to hand it over before the studio died.
