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!

Reviews
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
剧透警告 其实直到最后我也没发现原来给的任务是毁灭世界的,而且我一直以为镜子说i的话真的有用,其实我一直在完成任务但是总有时候真的不小心弄错,在买了水晶球和灯之后想用橡皮改但是我的橡皮只能用一次,,,,最后打出了好的结局,我将二周目好好研究一下
Petit jeu court et agréable
Хорошая игра
Jogo simples e curto, mas que te prende por ser muito interessante. Ao se colocar na figura do Ceifador, você descobre que pode ser bastante complicado tomar decisões, lidar com as consequências das suas escolhas e, principalmente, tentar manter um certo equilíbrio (se esse for o seu objetivo). Dá pra jogar quantas vezes quiser, mudando suas escolhas e tentando conseguir todas as conquistas!
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
First game im considering to 100%
pta que buen juego
