There's game called Warz (http://thewarz.com/) which is similar to Dayz but it costs money :/
I'm not sure if there's any free game similar to Dayz but if you have half life 2,there's plenty of hl2 mods that are zombies related.
There is always that new game "The War Z" that is coming out soon as well. I'm signed up for Alpha!!
p.s. This was in production before Day Z
there is nary a spec of proof of this, they just said that. Seriously WarZ, DayZ, The names are way to similar and also WARZ SUCKS!
DayZ sucks as much pretty much but its in alpha and they don't expect you to pay for it also soon its going to have a free[citation needed on the free part] standalone version
War z almost same thing except better in my opinion o and also was in development before day z to all those people saying it copied day z
Those are improper names of the games and also WarZ IS the same thing but you have to pay for it and there's a STORE and also its worse because you could just go buy a weapon on the store and its a FINISHED GAME and sucks as much as DayZ but you cant blame DayZ because its in ALPHA not a full game and will soon have a standalone version
War z almost same thing except better in my opinion o and also was in development b4 day z to all those ppl saying it copied day z
Also as a side note THERE IS NARY A SINGLE BIT OF PROOF THAT IT WAS IN DEVELOPMENT BEFORE DAYZ!
ITS JUST A BAD TOO! IF IT WAS IN DEVELOPMENT SO LONG THEN WHY ISN'T IT BETTER ?! HM!?
hi iknow this post is abit old. There is a game called WarZ it is in alpha stage at the moment. Also on steam you can purchase Arma II and operation arrrow head for £8 each (RP: £14 each)
I am pretty sure WarZ is "finished" to them :T otherwise I am not paying for something that's exactly the same as another game but even more sucky because its finished DayZ is the one that's been in alpha WarZ is in version 1.0 that's like Beta :T

WarZ = Beta [1.0]
DayZ = Alpha [Insert current version number at this date here]
WarZ is as sucky as Dayz but WarZ is beta....Thats bad :T
WarZ
OK, here is the down low…
People hate this game for 3 basic reasons.
1: The game is still being developed around players and their experience.
2: It is similar to the ARMA 2 mod (DayZ)
3: People just can’t play and have no patience.
Here is the simple resolution to this issue.
1) Seeing how the game is still in development, people can let the designers know there experience with the game as well as issues, fix ideas, development ideas, and are constantly trying to build upon the words of the people. Feedback is the key… but most people just say “This game sucks.” And don’t even bother to give a reason why or give ideas on how it can be resolved. (USE YOUR WORDS, AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU WANT!)
2) Yes it is very true that this game is a simple rip-off of a great mod of ARMA 2… but with this in mind, they have been able to create something simple for most people to play without the need of a high powered PC. ARMA is great! ... But only if you got the PC muscle to actually enjoy it. So in the end, this is already resolved. For those that wanted to play DayZ can now play a PC friendly Version of DayZ known as WarZ instead.
3) This game is no doubt full of trolls and completely sad people that will spawn camp and rape you as soon as you step out of the safe zone. BUT, there is a fix to this issue. The more friends you have and the more friends you have on voice, the less people will want to with you. Get some friends on Skype or TeamSpeak to voice to voice with. This way… even if you die, you have friends there to pick up your things and save you from worry (LIKE MINECRAFT!)
The last main point of this game is… DO NOT TRUST ANYONE!
If you can’t talk to the person they are no good. But if you are FRIENDS with them on skype or other means of contact you are safe… But don’t bother trying to make friends on this game. It’s just an easy way to get killed.
It’s called WAR z for the reason… it’s YOU/FRIENDS vs WORLD… people kill each other, and that’s just how it is. Find some friends, make a buddy or two and get into groups. (the more, the better off you will be.)
People who trash talk games in development are just sad and lonely… Kind of makes me wonder how they gave Minecraft a chance. Minecraft had to go through the same stages. Unlike them… make some friends and never play alone. More than likely the people that trash on a simple game probably don’t have any real friends.
Okay. Dead Frontier. While it may not be entirely survival based, it's one of the best zombie mmorps out there. Plus it's free to play and browser based. If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch/Android device, there The Organ Trail:Director's Cut. Probably the best zombie survival game for any of those devices. While it's primarily a text based game, it's beyond entertaining. Other than that, yeah, there's not much out there, which is really lame considering how many mindless zombie shooters are out there.
Honestly, my opinion on this matter is that there is not one good zombie survival game out there. There is not one game that offers, pvp, pve, food, water/drink, minimal supplies, good zombie AI, a range of weapons that are all customizable (optics, muzzles, grips, stuff like that), and a good map. There is not one game that has all of those in one, and i'm not sure if there is going to be. So, all that in mind, the closest to a zombie survival is probably going to be Day Z Standalone (once it comes out and of it is as good as they say it will be), but all of those factors that contribute to a game that I like are my opinion. So, heres a list of great zombie survival games, based on what YOU like, not anyone else:
Day Z: good all-round game, many people play it, so if you like pvp more than pve, go for this.
Dark Matter: Not quite sure if its out yet, so i have not played it, but from the looks at it, I think that it is a graphically beautiful game (made on crysis engine, so how couldn't it be?) and the animations for the zombies look quite cool. That's all i can say, since I have not played the actual game yet, I do not know how the combat feels.
War Z: A good friend game. If you want to fight other players to the death with friends, this is the game for you. So far, the graphics are ok and the gameplay is the same. I mean, you can take out a horde with a hammer, but other than that, it is pretty good. Many people overlook it as a bad game. Those people do not know gaming in the slightest. They look for 2 things, graphics and gameplay. Well, those are two important things, but there are many others that make a game become a hit. For instance, the looting system (not the physical picking up of items) is very good. The zombie AI is very good as well (well, ok, maybe not in combat, but while walking around and doing random things, yeah it is).
Last Stand: Union City: this is only, and ONLY when you are bored of other things. It is a free online game, so really, it is no comparison to Day Z or War Z.
Dead Linger: Since it is in almost pre-pre-Alpha, I can't say for sure if it is going to be good or not, but this is my guess. I think it will be a BEAST at single-player. The whole idea of a randomized world, though it is not a new one (at least to me), it is a good one. Thats all I can say for it right now.
Project Zombiod: If you like RPG elements, lots of RPG elements. Thats basically it for this game.....
Also, one more thing about those people bashing War Z, you guys really need to chill out. So you say, "where is the proof that War Z was being created before Day Z?" Well, wheres the proof that it wasn't? Tell me how you magically know all of what is going on in the creation of War Z. Tell me, how do YOU know that War Z is a rip-off of Day Z. Where is THAT proof? Huh? WHERE? Where is the proof that I didn't think of this idea when I was 5 years old? Show me, tell me, and ill take it all back. (By the way, you can't use your own opinion that it is a bad game to "prove" that Day Z was in development first. You have to have facts, otherwise, your argument is down the drain. Even if you could, that dose not mean War Z was THOUGHT of first.)
MineZ? It's a server plugin that makes zombies FAST and alert by how fast you move. You need water, food, and the rest. Put on lb photo realism, and BAM! dayz.
Well there is that game where monsters come at night and you have to spend the day salvaging the town. Saw a trailer for it some time ago. Unfortunately I can not remember the name...
People just don't have the time to make good game ideas like that. It'll be rare to find a game that includes eating, sleeping, and drinking! People are stuck making FPS games that sell millions than making one game that will stand the test of time. A game that include replayability and immersion will be played longer, and will generate more money, than a game that is a mosh pit of gameplay.
State of decay is a good one. You can drive vehicles, and it's only on Xbox 360, for now, because a PC version is coming out too. It's not EXACTLY like DayZ, but it's only 20 dollars. Check the demo. It's a 30 min., I think. It's a stand-alone, and very addictive, In my opinion.
thewarz.com
or
undeadlabs.com
both in creation right now
hope it helps cuz thats the closest thing there is
Also, Day Z is going to be released as its own game, so you no longer have to buy Arma II.
I'm not sure if there's any free game similar to Dayz but if you have half life 2,there's plenty of hl2 mods that are zombies related.

Game: State of decay.
A lot like dayZ, but I don't know if you can ride in vehicles or not... Worth looking up.
Subscribiddyyyyyy.

you need minecraft.
Fortnite?
This version of Organ Trail as zombies, choices, eating and stuff.
Probably not what you were looking for, but still fun all the same....Right?
