It's a very basic platformer, with a few puzzles n combat at the later half of the game/ Don't get me wrong its not a bad game, its just, a good prologue/demo should entice the player to want to see full game and The Day Before just doesnt do it. The gameplay is too bland due to very simplistic platforming mechanics(that is, you can jump/double jump, and goomba stomp or throw some items on enemies), what little puzzles it has feel like they came from basic p&c adventure games, and story somehow manages to be even simpler than the gameplay, its just "something bad happened. investigate it" you reach that place and npc goes "ohno bad thing did happen, go see the final boss" you see him. One decent plus this demo/prologue has is a nice beginning map with the lighting... shame that half of the game takes places in meh looking sewers though xD Play this one if you want a quick chill platformer or an easy 100% achievement hunt, but dont expect much

what a lame ending
Recommended Mar 6, 2026
A short prequel with light puzzles and platforming. Simple mechanics and easy to enjoy. Recommended.

Why am I getting 10FPS and insane micro stutter on a game that looks like it was made in 2005?
