Step into the shoes of the Grim Reaper in this intriguing indie game where you're not just any Reaper, but one with an office job. In "Death and Taxes," your daily grind involves making life-or-death decisions that not only shape individual fates but also influence the world's destiny. Your mission? Maintain order, thwart apocalyptic schemes, and climb the corporate ladder to reach the coveted position of middle-management.
This game draws inspiration from narrative-driven indie hits like "Papers, Please," "Reigns," "Beholder," and "Animal Inspector." Each choice you make carries weight, and the unfolding mystery of your existence adds an extra layer of intrigue to your office life.
Your typical day at the office includes:
- Engaging in what could be considered a normal office job... if you ignore the whole deciding-who-lives-and-dies part.
- Conversing with your boss, because even the Grim Reaper has to report to someone.
- Earning money to spend at Mortimer’s Plunder Emporium(?) on mysterious items.
- Personalizing your workspace to make those long hours a bit more bearable.
- Filling out paperwork, because bureaucracy waits for no one, not even death.
- Petting the office cat, because why not?
- Having heart-to-heart conversations with yourself in the mirror.
- Fighting off existential dread, which is easier said than done when you're holding the fate of humanity in your hands.
- Enjoying the catchy elevator tune that somehow makes the job a bit more tolerable.
