Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

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!

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!
剛開始玩第一周目時完全搞不清楚狀況，大量文字對話選項但沒有目標讓人感到有點煩躁。不過後來發現會需要多周目來解成就，如果以解成就和多結局為目的，每次輪迴都有意識的選不同的選項來觀測事件走向和新的結局，反而可以找到樂趣。 比較麻煩的是，有時候不小心行差踏錯一步(選錯選項)，就要重新走一遍新的周目(28天的工作!!)，才能達成想要的結局。簡直是另類的社畜模擬遊戲。 [spoiler] 為了解成就走了十五個周目，玩到快吐了!! 我在最後一次遊戲後處死了所有遊戲職員!! [/spoiler]

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

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
If you want to relax, I highly recommend it; I love the music in this game, and the characters are amazingly well-made.
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
pta que buen juego
打全成就纯折磨 没有手动存档容错度太低很恶心人 如果打个一两周目随便玩玩的话还可以
Mais um joguinho indie que não vou enjoar tão cedo. Amei demais, principalmente o design do destino :3
很优秀的一个小品游戏，游戏中你扮演死神，你杀死谁或者救下谁会影响人类世界。创意满分，出于游戏性把角色扁平化了，但也是没办法的事情。为制作一个小成本文游提供了参考。
