Death and Taxes
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
In this 2D, narrative-based game, you assume the role of the Grim Reaper... on an office job.
Your job is to decide which people are going to live or die. The consequences of your choices are yours to bear, while the mystery of your incarnation awaits revelation!
Death and Taxes is a game in the vein of great narrative-based indie titles, such as "Papers, Please", "Reigns", "Beholder" and "Animal Inspector", to name a few. Your choices will affect the world around you, and it's up to you as Grim Reaper of Cosmopolis City to keep the chaos away. Meet mysterious office ghosts, foil plots to destroy the world and rise through the ranks of Reapers all the way up to middle-management, if you dare!
Meet your Fate.
