Become the Grim Reaper... with a soul-crushing office job! This short, narrative-driven indie game puts you in the surprisingly mundane shoes of Death's newest employee. Your task? Decide who lives and dies. Your decisions shape the world, and one wrong move could unleash utter chaos. Succeed, and you might even climb the corporate ladder to the coveted position of... MIDDLE MANAGEMENT!
Death and Taxes offers a unique blend of narrative gameplay reminiscent of titles like Papers, Please, Reigns, Beholder, and Animal Inspector. Face the consequences of your choices while unraveling the mystery behind your unusual afterlife career.
Expect the Unexpected:
- A completely normal (we swear) office job.
- Conversations with your demanding boss.
- Earning money (it's important, even for a reaper).
- Shopping sprees at Mortimer's Plunder Emporium (?).
- Desk customization to personalize your grim workspace.
- Mind-numbing paperwork (because even Death has bureaucracy).
- Maybe pet a cat?
- Soul-searching (and self-talking) sessions in the mirror.
- Fighting off existential dread (it's hard work!). Don't let it consume you! The fate of humanity rests on your shoulders (it's totally fine!).
- Enjoy that earworm of a tune in the elevator.
