Death and Taxes

Ever wished your boring office job had a bit more... eternal consequence? Welcome to Death and Taxes, a quirky indie gem where you trade your stapler for a scythe. Developed by Placeholder Gameworks, this game puts a darkly humorous spin on the daily grind. Imagine this: you are the Grim Reaper, but instead of haunting gloomy cemeteries, you’re stuck in a cubicle with a mountain of paperwork. Your task? Decide the fate of countless souls by simply stamping "LIVE" or "DIE" on their files. It’s like being a cosmic bureaucrat, and the weight of your choices shapes the entire world.

If you’ve ever enjoyed the moral dilemmas of games like Papers, Please or the swiping mechanics of Reigns, you’ll feel right at home. Your day isn’t just about playing God; it’s about office life. You’ll chat with your boss, collect your paycheck, and even splash some cash at Mortimers Plunder Emporium to jazz up your desk. Yes, you can pet the office cat and have deep conversations with your reflection. But don’t get too comfortable every decision can tip the world into chaos or save humanity from existential doom. The game is packed with personality, featuring a beautiful watercolor art style, a haunting original soundtrack, and fully voiced characters that bring the story to life. With a branching narrative and multiple endings, Death and Taxes proves that while death might be certain, your path through this office is anything but.
