Death and Taxes

Become the Grim Reaper... with a soul-crushing office job! This quirky indie game casts you as Death's newest employee, tasked with the mundane—and occasionally world-altering—duty of deciding who lives and dies. Your decisions shape the world around you; avert catastrophes, thwart global-ending plots, and climb the corporate ladder to the coveted position of MIDDLE MANAGEMENT!

Death and Taxes follows in the footsteps of narrative-driven indie hits like Papers, Please, Reigns, Beholder, and Animal Inspector. Every choice carries weight, and the mystery surrounding your unusual employment awaits unraveling.
