About
In this small Indie, short narrative-based game, you take the role of the Grim Reaper... on an office job. Your job is to decide which people are going to live or die. Your choices will affect the world around you. Keep the chaos away or foil plots to destroy the world and rise through the ranks of Reapers all the way up to MIDDLE-MANAGEMENT, wow!
Death and Taxes is a game in the vein of narrative-based indie titles, such as "Papers, Please", "Reigns", "Beholder" and "Animal Inspector", to name a few. The consequences of your choices are yours to bear, while the mystery of your incarnation awaits revelation!

No shade to this game, I think the genre is just not for me. I usually like the Papers, Please -esque kinds of games, which this isn't at all! Rather than going through a line of humans and deciding who lives and dies, you're given a set of rules to follow (or not, which changes the ending), which I don't mind necessarily, but trying to do another playthrough is tiring since you've seen it all before. What really got me was the condescension all the NPCs had towards the player, the "new kid" on the block--it's not for me. I liked the art style and I liked looking at all the humans' papers and reading their stories was fun, but not a game I really wanted to play more than once :(
上班模拟器,真是给我玩累了
хорошая игра, с сюжетом есть какие то крутые предметы и самое важное, тот купол за которым ты можешь следить за стенами за происходящим в мире, очень удобно если хочешь играть по своим правилам))
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.
Curto porém interessante, gostei.
actually pretty noice game
hafiften bayıyo 1 kere oynayıp geçersen güzel ama
I somehow managed to get through 2 hours of this game before never playing it again. Incredibly boring after the first few choices, nothing really progresses or changes.
Dying of boredom
Хорошая игра
