Drop Bears: Survival Series, Chapter 1 2024

The Australian Bush is a dangerous place at night. And as if spiders and snakes weren't enough, another horror is on the loose: Drop Bears infest the dark - Hideous koala-like beasts dropping from gum trees, eager to consume human flesh. This is where the game drops you in, an inexperienced group of tourist campers ventured into the night. Your objective: Survive until dawn.

Drop Bears is a cooperative game where the Campers have to carefully choose actions every turn to stay alive, while the whole Australian Bush is on a hunt for them. The group can choose of several different options to ensure as many campers as possible survive until dawn. While doing so, the game drops the hideous creatures right on them, attacking and terrorizing the Campers in every turn. Even the very landscape and environment will batter the poor Campers – They can become severely wounded; this will surely hamper their chance for survival.

Each time a camper is eaten, that player will select another camper from those available, but every death brings the Drop Bears closer to victory, so don't let your humans die in vain. With no weapons, campers must band together, scavenge gear and use their wits if they ever hope to survive.
