This game is trying to burrow its way into our subconscious, and we mustn't let it. RELATED - "The Day Before" Developers Enlisting Unpaid Volunteers For Steam's Most Wishlisted GameĮven the typeface and cover art are utterly devoid of originality, making The Day Before look like a poor person's The Last of Us if you're willing to go a step further with me (there lies the realm of crackpot paranoia), I'd argue that the very title 'The Day Before' even has a linguistic and phonetic structure so similar to 'The Last of Us' that it subliminally brainwashes us into associating it with Naughty Dog's piece de resistance.It seems that the best part of a decade on, the gaming public is still not out of its braindead love-in with those buzzwords, because The Day Before, an terribly bland-looking game, remains at the top of Steam wishlists as of this day chuck in the words 'zombie,' 'survival,' 'infested,' and 'post-pandemic' (how topical), and the masses will flock to it like the walking dead to a shopping mall. The trailers, depicting generic scenes of post-apocalyptic shootouts and weightless ragdoll zombies getting gunned down, gave me serious flashbacks to those dodgy zombie survival games from the early days of Kickstarter that shamelessly cashed in on the survival sandbox craze - The War Z, The Slaughtering Grounds, The Dead Linger… any other name-and-shames that I've missed? The in-development open-world MMO, The Day Before, has always smelled a little bit off to me.
