The studio behind the troubled game The Day Before, Fntastic, has launched a Kickstarter campaign for their new project called Escape Factory. This marks a shift in their strategy, as they aim to win back player trust after previous controversies. Escape Factory is presented as a physics-based multiplayer game where four to eight players work together to escape from a chaotic factory setting. The Kickstarter's funding goal is modest at $15,567, and Fntastic emphasizes their commitment to honesty and transparency in the development of this new title.

Fntastic previously gained attention for their early project, The Wild Eight, which was successfully crowdfunded on Kickstarter. However, their reputation has suffered due to issues surrounding The Day Before, which has been delayed multiple times and faced trademark disputes. As they move forward with Escape Factory, Fntastic aims to demonstrate their growth and reliability in the gaming industry while engaging with a skeptical gaming community.
