## What is Dumb Ways to Survive NETFLIX?

NETFLIX MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED.

Collect, harvest and hunt your way through the wilderness as a bumbling bean trying to stay alive. Will you die a dummy or use your smarts to survive?

You'll work hard as cute, hapless explorer Noob in this silly and satisfying roguelike survival adventure, a fresh addition to the smash hit "Dumb Ways to Die" series. After taking a wrong turn, you're lost in the wild with nothing but your wits (or lack thereof) to rely on.

Gather resources as you explore interactive environments full of dangerous and delicious wildlife, crafting or cooking everything you need to survive, and navigate home to Beanland. If you find a dumb way to die, pick yourself up and start your adventure again!

CREATE YOUR OWN (SILLY) TOOLKIT

Use the plants you harvest and resources you collect to craft helpful survival items and weapons, from fishing nets to frying pans. Be warned: Things will get goofy! You never know when a guitar or a giant candy cane will come in handy to defend against all feisty fauna around you.

FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE

Hunt or battle all kinds of critters, including birds, bears and maybe even extraterrestrials. With real-time action, stay nimble and observe animals' attack patterns to learn when to strike or retreat. And if you die, roguelike gameplay means the adventure continues: You'll respawn at your campsite with a little more wisdom for the next encounter.

DEVELOP YOUR CAMPING POWERS

Construct and upgrade buildings like the Forge and Juice Bar to craft new items and maximize your chances of survival with help from your bean friends. As you progress through the game, log accomplishments in your Handbook and earn Scout Badges that offer special benefits.

BRAVE THE ELEMENTS

Brace yourself for unpredictable weather patterns, each with their own gameplay effect. As the sun rises and sets, will you sleep safely through the night or venture out into the darkness and discover something… mysterious?

### 5/5 — Fun game to play!

*2025-06-02, version 1.3.61*

I have loved playing this game. It’s an adventure game, with new stages to explore.

### 1/5 — Pls help

*2025-05-26, version 1.3.55*

I nearly completed this freaking game and after the update all my quests are gone. I have all the islands but NO progress regarding my scout book. Restore my progress please. Good update, but it ruined my experience with this game. Fix the bugs please.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2025-05-25, version 1.3.55*

Like the story

### 2/5 — Good but some game glitches

*2025-05-03, version 1.3.14*

I was enjoying this game, fun doing the different types of areas and love the idea but obviously isn’t fully developed or at least glitches in the game still that need fixed. I’m stopping playing it because I was getting to annoyed the glitch where enemies still hurt you even when you out of range, so you die so quick, it wouldn’t bother me that much if there weren’t so many enemies that can do that, I don’t mind multiple enemies but not when you can’t avoid any attacks no matter what

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2025-05-01, version 1.3.14*

I came back because I saw there was new content. Unfortunately, when I try to open the journal thing or map, the game crashes. Very frustrating.

### 4/5 — Controller support

*2025-04-27, version 1.3.14*

Good game, wish it had controller support

### 3/5 — Too many bugs

*2025-04-25, version 1.3.14*

It’s truly a fun game, but the bugs make it unplayable after a certain point. There is no way to compete the handbook after winning. Between the freezing, statuses not working properly, all buildings and upgrades disappearing, and traveling between worlds becoming disabled… it’s like the devs gave up.

### 5/5 — Amazing Game

*2025-04-19, version 1.3.14*

I love this game so much!!! It’s like Minecraft but I would say somewhat better!!

### 1/5 — Please add controller

*2025-04-15, version 1.3.14*

Please add controller

### 2/5 — Crashes to often

*2025-04-12, version 1.3.14*

Great games I love it but it crashes every couple minutes
