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.
Story Line
As one of the three remaining bloodlines of the lost clans of Anor, we set out to reclaim the lost heritage from the smothering wilds of the Old Kingdom.
Our Sanctuary is a reflection of those who came before, and through it our deeds are emblazoned. Temple or fortress? Warband or family? Hope or fear? As the Winterfall’s deadly frosts approach, each choice we make will shape this haven.
So that we may rebuild our Sanctuary, each of us will venture into the wilderness of the Old Kingdom, in search of lost knowledge. How far will we go in our quest, and what bargains will we strike with the hidden forces of the wild?
Warrior, wanderer, poet, craftsman, treasure-hunter… The wilds sing a special song of temptation for each, seeking to cloud our hearts in forgetfulness. We must persist: every successful return to the Sanctuary will bolster it in the face of the cold onslaught.
Generation after generation, through battle, diplomacy, and adventure, we shall forge our legacy and test it against the Winterfall.
