Fntastic, the developers behind 2023's disastrous The Day Before, have returned, hat in hand, asking for a second chance.
Escape Factory, the dev's latest announced project, is a physics-based platformer where 4–8 players try to escape - you guessed it - a factory. In a way, it's similar to Fall Guys and the recently popular Chained Together.
The devs have launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $15,567 to refine the game per player feedback, not develop it from the ground up. While it's common for indie games to be crowd-funded, heads turned when the people behind The Day Before expected the gaming community to fund their project.
The game is slated for a Halloween release, with a free demo available.
Only two people have left reviews, both negative. However, both reviewers only referenced the developer's past, with no commentary on Escape Factory.
At the time of writing, the devs have raised $414 from 14 backers.
