Recently, foreign media reported that Fntastic, the developer of the scam game "Before the Holocaust", does not have a physical office or employees, and there is no employee salary item in the financial report. This shows that the official's previous reasons such as lack of development funds are false, and it is true to make money and run away.
According to reports from Yahoo Singapore, according to information listed by the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore (ACRA), the office location set up by developer Fntastic in the Central District of Singapore is actually a multiple shared work space, and only provides the address as a virtual office. There is also no matching tenant for the address PENINSULAPLAZA listed in corporate documents, which belongs to a management consulting firm.
According to the original company registration documents, Fntastic has two directors, namely Eduard Gotovsev and his brother Aisen Gotovsev. Eduard is the company's CEO. After the "On the Eve" scandal broke out, he closed his Twitter account and restricted his LinkedIn page. It is reported that the two of them each invested 50,000 Singapore dollars (approximately RMB 268,000) as capital.
According to Discord screenshots leaked on Reddit, 201,000 copies of "Before" have been sold, and about 91,000 of them have been refunded. This means that about 110,000 copies were still sold, which is about $4.3 million. However, due to Steam's refund policy and Fntastic's promise of unconditional refunds, Fntastic should not be able to get this money.
However, the company still received about 3.4 million Singapore dollars (approximately RMB 18.23 million) in revenue, possibly from Russian publisher Mytona. Fntastic's statement also mentioned that "the game is funded by Mytona, one of the world's largest mobile game publishers, and Mytona is contractually responsible for checking the status of the game version at every stage."
