Death and Taxes
In this unique indie game, you step into the shoes of the Grim Reaper, but with a twist—you're navigating the mundane world of an office job. As a Reaper, your daily tasks involve making critical decisions on who lives and who dies, with each choice rippling through the fabric of the world around you. Your mission is to maintain balance, thwart any sinister plots that threaten global destruction, and climb the corporate ladder to the coveted position of middle-management.
"Death and Taxes" draws inspiration from narrative-driven indie games like "Papers, Please", "Reigns", "Beholder", and "Animal Inspector". The weight of your decisions rests squarely on your shoulders, as you unravel the mystery of your own existence.
Gameplay Highlights:
- Experience the surreal routine of a Reaper's office job
- Engage in conversations with your boss
- Earn a salary and spend it at Mortimer’s Plunder Emporium
- Personalize your workspace
- Tackle the endless stream of paperwork
- Enjoy moments of levity, like petting the office cat
- Confront your reflection and delve into self-dialogue
- Resist the creeping existential dread (no pressure, just the fate of humanity at stake!)
- Groove to the catchy elevator music
Features:
- Impactful decision-making that shapes the narrative
- A branching storyline with several hidden endings to discover
- Customize your own Grim Reaper avatar
- Interact with fully voiced NPCs
