In this intriguing indie game, you step into the shoes of the Grim Reaper, but with a twist—you're on an office job. Your daily tasks involve making critical decisions about who lives and who dies, and these choices ripple through the game's world. Manage chaos, thwart sinister plots, and climb the corporate ladder of the afterlife to reach the coveted position of middle-management.
"Death and Taxes" draws inspiration from other narrative-driven indie games like "Papers, Please", "Reigns", "Beholder", and "Animal Inspector". Your decisions carry weight, shaping the narrative and leading to various outcomes. As you progress, the mystery of your own existence as the Grim Reaper unfolds.
