But it still says it at least twice on the Steam page itself. Not trying too hard there.
Uh, they might wanna change the Steam description, which as of right now is:
The Day Before offers players a uniquely reimagined journey into post-apocalyptic open-world MMO survival set in the present day on the US East Coast following a deadly pandemic.
what even is an “extraction shooter”
Limited time, limited locations for you to safely make it out with loot. Like Tarkov or DMZ.
I find the episodic nature more enjoyable than mmo total time sink fwiw
Is tarkov not a massive time sink? I feel like I’m committed to 2+hours every time I try to sit down and plan and the mid game crafting you almost have to undertake to get quality ammo makes you have to log in almost daily to not waste resources.
Sneaking into a base, collecting something and then to bring it safely back to base is Capture the Flag.
Yes, but that’s not what this is. More freeform, the loot is the objective (plus mission macguffins sometimes)
You leave the game into a meta game/strategy later
It’s really not.
Imagine fortnite (or any battle royale), but instead of being the last man standing, you want to find loot (or whatever) and return to the designated area alive. Person or team with most loot wins.
Aaaand they closed shop
