It raised a whopping total of around 3,000 SGD\u2014roughly $2,270\u2014out of its 20,000 SGD goal. It seems Fntastic&#8217;s very public, meandering, and chaotic debacle worked in direct opposition to its &#8220;transparency policy&#8221;. The public remains unconvinced.<\/p>\n<p>The studio declared the game&#8217;s cancellation on X and, <em>staggeringly, <\/em>proceeded to announce a third game in <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FntasticHQ\/status\/1848982250316304734\">the exact same post<\/a>. This new project you&#8217;re meant to get excited about (&#8220;exactly what you&#8217;ve been waiting for&#8221;, Fntastic alleges) is an action-horror prop hunt game called ITEMS\u2014fwee! That was the sound of the world&#8217;s saddest party horn. I also want to take a moment to point out that, prior to The Day Before, Fntastic actually <em>had <\/em>a prop hunt game called <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1549180\/Propnight\/\">Propnight<\/a>, which it shut down. I guess it&#8217;s never too late to start over.

Our campaign on Kickstarter is unlikely to reach our goal of SGD 20,000.With this in mind, we have decided to temporarily suspend work on Escape Factory and postpone it until a more appropriate time. As part of this decision, our Kickstarter campaign has also been canceled, and no funds have been collected.*However, your wishes are very important to us, and we are happy to announce the start of development on a new action-horror prop hunt game called ITEMS!This is exactly what many of you have been waiting for! Once we have a fully playable demo, we may launch a new Kickstarter campaign or explore other options for release. It's important to us that our players get the chance to play and test the game in advance.Since the development of ITEMS will require significant resources, we have decided to release mobile games in parallel to support the process. All funds generated from these apps will go directly into development. We believe this will help us create the game of your dreams.Join our Discord to follow the development.This message is part of our new transparency policy.*Escape Factory operated under Kickstarter's \"all-or-nothing\" funding model, which means that if the project doesn't reach its funding goal, no funds are collected from backers.You can find more details about this policy on Kickstarter's official support page.\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/the-day-before-developer-cancels-second-kickstarter-after-it-whimpers-out-with-2200-of-funding-immediately-goes-all-in-on-a-third-game-in-the-same-announcement.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: @FntasticHQ on Twitter\/X.)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Okay, look. In all fairness, Fntastic hasn&#8217;t released a new Kickstarter just yet, and it&#8217;s promised what&#8217;s left of its community that players should &#8220;get the chance to play and test the game in advance&#8221;. The studio might have realised that Kickstarters are never going to work, which shows some degree of self-awareness. In the meantime, Fntastic will also be making mobile games to help shore up its coffers in the quest to &#8220;create the game of your dreams,&#8221; a statement I&#8217;m not sure has ever been used to describe prop hunt.<\/p>\n<p>Having successfully waded up to the town stocks and plonked its head and wrists in them, the court of public opinion has shown up to throw tomatoes at the studio with such fury it almost makes me feel bad for it. The replies are mostly a lot of pointing and laughing. &#8220;Put the fries in the bag already bro,&#8221; writes <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Tobiiask_\/status\/1849011248848908549\">one fed-up gamer<\/a>.

Bare minimum, I&#8217;m impressed by the tenacity.
