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!

Constant Irritation and Frustration

Picked this up on an extreme sale. Quit playing in less than 90 minutes and won't be back. It tries to be a cute, quirky game. It fails miserably. Most of the game is reading NPC bios and choosing who to kill and who to save, with certain rules and requirements. However, 100% of all sentence structure in the character bios is grammatically incorrect. Whether this was done to be "pro-pronouns" in support of a woke agenda, or whether it is due to a poorly coded language engine that can't handle any complexity, literally every pronoun in the game, and the start of every single sentence regardless of sentence formulation is "they." There's an awkward attempt to play this off as an in-game story "reason/feature," but that, too, falls flat. The story is uninteresting. The characters designed to be cute and quirky are just awkward and annoying. The gameplay itself is awkward and frustrating. The marking of profiles with "live" or "die" is slow, takes too many clicks, and is a laborious, laggy process. It is impossible to organize or sort papers on the desk, even though two "drawers" are provided to try to help. However, it is difficult to consistently get the papers to interact with the drawers. Even worse, you can't put one page on top of another. You can't bring reorder active or inactive items. You can't bring your daily "rules" memo to the top to be reviewed. You have to move everything else back out of the way to refer back to it. You can't sort the display order of the as-many-as-nine-or-ten profiles you're shuffling through, making it a constant source of minimizing and maximizing the pages and moving them around to try to get through them. In short, nothing about the game is great, or even good. None of the issues with the game are game-breaking or terrible in themselves, but literally every little thing about the game is an actual source of annoyance and irritation. There's no reason to keep playing and a bunch of small reasons to not.

Truly disappointing

Just to be clear: in this game you are the Grim Reaper (a skeleton of sorts) hired by the Fate to kill people. Every morning you get a bunch of profiles and the dummiest instructions ever ("Kill two", or at most "Kill six, spare the retired, get rid of the scientists"). Later in the game they get even dummier ("Follow the flow." Sorry, WHAT?) The game's claim is: "Your choices have consequences". Choices? Consequences? Really? Problem is: if you blindly follow the instructions you ALWAYS win, no matter what. First game, day one. Get to the job, pick a few random profiles, kill them. Easy peasy. Report to the boss: good job. Day two: read the news on your phone (apparently someone acknowledges your job!), follow the new instructions, kill, report. Day three: same (don't bother to read the news: after a while they are not funny anymore). Day four: same. At the end of the week the job is yours. Nothing changes, though. So, let's visit the shop, where you can buy a few useless gizmos. My first one, a mirror for my room. Needless to say, the mirror hosts a ghostly voice (a female one, BTW: now, THIS is sexist, you know?) And the voice begins to mock me: "Are you proud of all that killing? Don't you feel guilty?" ("No, ma'am: why on Earth should I? I'm the Reaper, remember?") Wonderful. Let's just ignore the shop from now on, would we? Week two, day one: same as above. And again, and again. Chit-chat with the boss ("Humankind is useless and life is pointless". "I know, right? I'm the Reaper, after all.") Repeat until only two humans are left. Kill them. That's it: you win, humankind extint, game over. Wait a moment, that was far too easy. Play again, try something different. Get the trial week, ignore the instructions and kill all the subjects -- you get fired. Oh, so you CAN lose after all. Good to know. Uninstall. Bottom line: a boring, pointless and truly disappointing game, to the uttermost level; they may have been just 8€, but they were money wasted anyway.
