About
In this small Indie, 2D, narrative-based game, you take the role of the Grim Reaper... on an office job. Your job is to decide which people are going to live or die. Your choices will affect the world around you. Keep the chaos away or foil plots to destroy the world and rise through the ranks of Reapers all the way up to MIDDLE-MANAGEMENT, wow!
Death and Taxes is a game in the vein of narrative-based indie titles, such as "Papers, Please", "Reigns", "Beholder" and "Animal Inspector", to name a few. The consequences of your choices are yours to bear, while the mystery of your incarnation awaits revelation!

Death and Taxes reviews and comments
Very addictive and presents clear goals, multiple outcomes, and an intriguing narrative. It's one of those cycle-based games, easy to end up playing for hours because you just want to know what happens next. As you advance, you can gather items that facilitate your decision-making and potentially control which outcome you get.
