About This Game

You saved the world. Now you just want to chop wood. But monsters don’t retire, and neither can you.

Tired of Being the Hero is a first-person dark fantasy RPG with a management twist. As a retired hero, protect your village not just with your sword, but by inspiring villagers to become heroes of their own. Train peasants into warriors, raise morale, and stand together against monsters that refuse to let you fade into memory.

Experience Retirement

Lay down your sword. Chop wood, haul wagons, and try to live as a simple villager. But a hero’s past doesn’t stay buried.

Give Your Villagers Names

Get to know the locals of the village. Give them nicknames to form a closer bond.

Level Up and Motivate Your Allies by Raising Morale

Fight and protect the villagers to raise morale. Spend that morale to increase their level. Teach them new abilities, shift their roles, and work together to survive. 

Test Your Villagers Against Powerful Foes

Larger and more dangerous enemies will threaten your villagers.
