What is the first thing they did? Of course, a crowdfunding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Escape Factory was a cooperative physics-based game that didn&#8217;t look bad, but it didn&#8217;t win the public&#8217;s favor (for whatever reason) and <strong>raised only $2,384 of the $15,153 they were asking for.<\/strong> Ouch. A tough blow for the studio, which realized that &#8220;the project has not generated enough interest,&#8221; although they haven&#8217;t canceled it, just postponed it for another time. And if you thought this was the end of Fntastic, wait, because there&#8217;s a twist: they are now working on &#8220;what many of you have been waiting for.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Escape Factory - Trailer (2024.09.26)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q6ourFrjx28?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Another Prop Hunt-style game, horror and action, titled Items. But, to fund it, Fntastic will be releasing mobile games and might launch another Kickstarter, only this time it will come with a demo in hand. You might be wondering why they don&#8217;t stop hurting themselves, but the studio itself can answer: &#8220;We know that our decisions and projects may not be for everyone, but we are working hard to create a game that our fans will enjoy.&#8221; We&#8217;ll have to see if that exists. Not the game, but the fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you remember The Day Before?
