Death and Taxes

In the intriguing indie game "Death and Taxes," you step into the shoes of the Grim Reaper, but not in the traditional sense. Here, you're the Grim Reaper on an office job, tasked with making life-or-death decisions that significantly impact the world around you. Your role is pivotal in maintaining order or thwarting sinister plots that threaten global destruction. As you navigate through your daily tasks, your ultimate goal is to climb the corporate ladder to the esteemed position of middle-management within the ranks of Reapers.

"Death and Taxes" draws inspiration from other narrative-driven indie games like "Papers, Please," "Reigns," "Beholder," and "Animal Inspector." The weight of your decisions rests squarely on your shoulders, and as you play, you'll unravel the enigma of your own existence.

In this game, your day-to-day activities might seem mundane at first glance. You'll engage in typical office tasks such as conversing with your boss, handling paperwork, and even decorating your desk. But amidst these routine activities, you'll find moments of levity and mystery—like shopping at Mortimer’s Plunder Emporium, petting the office cat, or staring into the mirror to reflect on your existential journey. And don't forget to listen to that catchy elevator tune that sticks in your head.

As you progress, you'll encounter fully voiced NPCs, make choices that steer the branching storyline, and unlock multiple secret endings. Customize your Grim Reaper avatar, enjoy the original soundtrack, and appreciate the unique watercolor graphics that bring the game's world to life. With each decision, you'll navigate through dialogue options and upgrades available at the in-game shop, all while trying to keep the existential dread at bay.
