Features & Capabilities

Death and Taxes is a unique indie narrative game where you step into the shoes of the Grim Reaper — but with an unexpected twist: you're stuck in an office job. Tasked with deciding who lives and who dies, your decisions directly impact the world and its fate. Navigate office politics, engage with fully voiced characters, and uncover secret endings in a branching storyline.

Featuring original watercolor artwork, a catchy soundtrack, and an upgradeable economy through Mortimer’s Plunder Emporium, the game combines dark humor with meaningful choices. Inspired by titles like "Papers, Please" and "Reigns," it offers immersive gameplay filled with existential dread, quirky office distractions, and a path to middle management among reapers. Will you keep chaos at bay or let the world descend into ruin?

User Reviews

Reviews praise the voice acting, art, and daily-cycle concept with strong storytelling, but note stability issues (crashes, black screens) and annoying ads; some players question the value of the paid version.

Pros

Strong voice acting and beautiful art/style that enhance the atmosphere.
Intriguing concept with daily cycles and meaningful consequences.
Engaging, well-written story with a show-don't-tell approach.
Positive value and updates; affordable full game with good presentation.

Cons

Frequent crashes on startup and end-of-day black screen bugs.
UI/startup issues prevent starting a new game (page click does nothing).
Intrusive ads or ad-heavy monetization; daily ads frustrating some users.
Perceived lack of added value from the paid full game.
