About this game

In this small Indie, short 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!

Ratings and reviews

I installed it and was getting stuck due to a bug. The dev was quick to offer help and fix the issue. This dev seems to genuinely care for the game they made and it shows. The game is fun, the artwork is nice. The music is great and I find the voice acting to be really good. I recommend you try this game!

unable to play. i paid for the full game and when I click on new game, nothing happens. I can open up the options menu just fine.

Game is AWESOME. Not to mention that 4.49 for the full game is cheap compared to 12.59 on Switch. If you cant afford that, just turn on airplane mode to bypass the ads. Seriously, i recommend it. Its a good game. Definitly gonna be buying the full version soon.
