Winterfall is a sandbox RPG influenced, gameplay-wise, by experiences as diverse as Mount and Blade, Mass Effect, DayZ, The Sims, the Elder Scrolls games and, of course, the latter Ultima games (7, 8 and Online), set in a fictional late antiquity/early dark ages setting. Contrary to most RPGs where the player is in control of a single hero character from beginning to end, the focus of Winterfall is on a House, or Household, which is grown and developed through deeds performed by the player's successive characters.

Not just eye candy, the environments are designed to convey information relevant to gameplay: the type of flora you see around you may indicate such information as the proximity and type of waters, the fauna to be hunted or snared, as well as the kind of plants you may extract for medicine or poison.
