Old Gods. Old regrets. New life.

Sigurn the Divine hates her title. Blessed by a God and tasked with saving her kingdom, she was a hero in every sense of the word. She fought monsters, slew dragons, and battled the forces of evil, armed with a divine sword and holy lightning.

And then she failed at a definitive moment, forcing her to slink away into the night.

Now living with the ever busy warlock (or sometimes witch) Thistle, Sigurn is merely a shadow of her former self. She spends most of her time in Thistle's home plagued by irritability and nightmares.

All Sigurn wants to do is move on from her life as hero. But to do so she will need to confront the God that blessed her. And then, of course, there's the small matter of new, not-so-small feelings regarding Thistle...

'Merely a Regret' was  developed for Yuri Game Jam 2019. It is a kinetic medieval fantasy story about mental health, old regrets, the desire to move on, and lots and lots of gay flirting.
