About the Game
Welcome to the world of DayZ, hit by a new and presently unknown infection which has wiped out most of the world's population. You are one of the few that have survived and now you must search this new wasteland in order to fight for your life against what is left of the indigenous population now infected with the disease. Go solo, team up with friends or take on the world, as you choose your path in this brutal and chilling landscape using whatever means you stumble upon to survive.

This is DayZ, this is your story.
DayZ is a gritty, authentic, open-world survival horror hybrid-MMO game, in which players follow a single goal: to survive in the harsh post-apocalyptic landscape as long as they can. Players can experience powerful events and emotions arising from the ever-evolving emergent gameplay. There are no superficial tips, waypoints, built in tutorials or help given to players. Every decision matters, there are no save games, no extra lives, every mistake can be lethal. If you fail, you lose everything and you need to play again from the beginning with nothing but your wits, and your two hands. Fight the hostile environment, where every other player can be friend or foe and nothing can be taken for granted.

everything stays unless you get killed.

btw this a very very early access game (alpha). there are not many features in the game at present that was in the mod. so if you never heard of the dayz mod for ARMA II don't even think of looking at this game now. ;)

Game looks crazy fun! I spent a good hour just watching encounter videos on youtube.

I haven't seen anything like this before, but it feels like this will only be fun if you're playing co-op with friends.

Like most other games, it's way more fun in co-op. However, just finding friends on the map when you start a life can be a daunting task. Solo play is pretty fantastic too though. The tension of playing a lone wolf trying to survive in a hostile island environment with no friends is quite the experience.
