About Death and Taxes
Play as the Grim Reaper stuck in a dreary office job where your decisions about who lives and dies ripple across the world, with your choices leading to multiple endings and rising through the ranks to middle management. This narrative-driven indie pulls from games like Papers, Please and Reigns, blending dark humor with meaningful consequences as you navigate existential dread, decorate your desk, and uncover the mystery of your own existence.

I really liked the game, and honestly, I have no negative comments; I hope everyone who buys and plays it has a great time.I really liked the game, and honestly, I have no negative comments; I hope everyone who buys and plays it has a great time.1 found this helpful
Its not a terrible game but also its a incredibly short and not a very impressive game. while i liked the gameplay the story and charecters feel like a after thought and it feels like your actions lack weight. charecters feel bland and mostly dont matter if the game had endings around them or even romance it could remedy it a bit but at the moment i feel it is missing to much on its basic gameplay to reccommend
actually pretty noice game
+ fun to play and made me laugh + gameplay has the right length + doesnt feel like "working" like other games
A fun game, visually compelling, and with high replayability!
love it
