Cliffbound
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
When the choice of living for yourself or living for others is on the line, what wolf will you choose?
Cliffbound explores the life of Prince Elm. An Omega Prince being married off to end a war he had no part in starting. When his Father and Papa disagree on the outcome of his future its up to Elm to either sink or swim. Which will you do?
Cliffbound is my debut game into the wonderful world of game developing!
Before you jump into the story here's some things of note!
Identifying the Characters:
This is an Omegaverse story
Alphas are referred to as Fathers by their children
Omegas are referred to as Papas by their children
Standard Omegaverse Biology Explained!
Alphas are usually larger in stature and size and can not carry children in their own bodies, but CAN get others pregnant.
Omegas are smaller then their counter parts and CAN carry children in their own bodies when reproducing.
Betas tend to be larger then a Omega and smaller then a Alpha, and are entirely sterile.
Cultural Differences:
Alphas are by standard, in positions of higher power and ranking then Betas and Omegas
Though they make up the vast majority of the peoples, Omegas are commonly considered Second Class Citizens until they are married. Made clear by the plethora of Alpha only or Alpha/Beta only businesses, rooms, careers, and even entire streets where unwed Omegas would be wholly unwelcome.
Once wed a Omega gains the rights of access that his husband has.
There is a higher rate of Omegas and Betas being born then there are Alphas. This puts Alphas in the position of power to choose their mates. Omegas on the other hand are in a position of weakness, because of a lack of rights, they are forced to attempt to “Marry up” by marrying a Alpha.
Betas tend to marry other Betas. However due to decreasing Father rates over the years. Unwed Omegas have begun to marry Betas as well in order to secure at least some freedom in society.
Bonus information:
Some Societies with low birth rates allow Alphas to take multiple Omegas as partners. Creating Small Polycule Harems.
The Omegaverse Feudal System
Betas are ineligible to inherit titles as they can not continue to royal blood line.
In Order to Inherit the title of King one MUST have been a Prince before marriage.
If Two Princes are married no matter if they are Omega/Omega or Alpha/Omega or Alpha/Alpha. Both Princes Inherit the title of King, and Rule Equally.
As by standard Alphas are given higher positions of power in this universe, the active Monarchy attempts to keep their titles above their spouses. So it is common practice when a Alpha is of eligible nobility, Ie. A Prince. It is Standard for these men to marry an Duke Instead of another Prince, so that when they do inherit the throne, the Alpha will not have to share the title of King with a Omega. Those dukes do not inherit the title King, and will instead be referred to as Ruler, or Second (Meaning Second to the King).
If a Omega with the title of Prince, married a Alpha with a Lower title, ie-Duke etc. Since the lower titled Alpha would not be allowed to rank higher then the Princely Omega. The Omega in this instance would become ineligible to inherit the throne. The Crown would simply pass to the next eligible relative.
Thank you!
Cliffbound was made for the "Love + Attraction Jam 2025" https://itch.io/jam/lovejam2025
This visual novel was developed and worked on by TamaCitris through out the month of February and is their Debut Game.
Tama-I worked wildly hard on developing this game. From creating all of the assets, learning coding for the first time, writing music for the first time this was truly a labor of love. I spent all of February sleep deprived and filled with thoughts of Princes and there world. So I hope you enjoy playing it and I hope you get as much from it as I did from making it. I'm beyond happy to welcome you to my first ever game. Enjoy Cliffbound!

I wonder if it will be in Android.Right?
i surprised how well this game is made an i surprising it is an how well turned out to An The Art Looks
Striking!
The art work being all hand drawn and the fork-in-the-road story where we decide a young princes fate really does add a weight to the game itself.
All of it was beautifully done and I’m just in awe <3 <3
This is so beautiful! The art is lovely and the story feels well developed for the length. In an ideal world the things of note on the games page would be baked into the story but honestly I don't mind the exposition that much for the sake of the story to be told. And sometimes you do just need to explain the odd sensibilities of the Omegaverse.
Notes for improvement would be that sometimes it felt like the music varied in volume, one track would be good but the next would be quieter. Some of the transitions involving character sprites felt a bit abrupt, so seeing the dissolve or move transition/command might help in the future. I'm new to programming in Ren'py so hopefully this is actually helpful advice!
An amazing debut game, honestly. Had much fun playing!
Thank you so much for the feedback! It's very very helpful for a first time developer like me!! :-) Given the short time for the Jam and the fact I was learning all of this for the first time and built everything solo I totally understand the parts that were lacking! And I do plan on fiddling with it more as I learn better coding techniques :-) I'm so so glad you had fun playing!! And I hope you stick around for more Games and stories I have to tell and make!
Certainly! I'm glad the feedback's helpful. I made my first visual novel for this jam as well but I definitely feel like your game's better but maybe that's just my bias!
Not "Better" just different! I'm working my way through all the games in the Jam so I'll make sure yours is next on my list :-)
Aw, thank you! I've been trying to play as many as possible of the jam games. Such creative and varied work, it's exciting every time I see another submission has been added!
Very beautiful and touching story <3
Thank you so much!
How long is the story?
