Welcome to *Death and Taxes*, the indie narrative-driven game where you take on the unlikely role of the Grim Reaper… but not in the way you’d expect. Instead of haunting shadowy realms, you find yourself sitting behind a desk in a fluorescent-lit office, tasked with deciding who lives and who dies. Your choices carry weight—shape the world, prevent global catastrophes, or simply try to survive the daily grind of middle-management as a deity of death.
Ever imagined what it would be like to work a 9-to-5 job while holding the fate of humanity in your hands? In *Death and Taxes*, you get to do just that. From reviewing life-or-death dossiers to chatting with your boss for a much-needed (or completely useless) pep talk, every interaction is filled with dark humor and moral dilemmas. Collect salary, shop at Mortimer’s Plunder Emporium™, decorate your cubicle, complete paperwork, pet the surprisingly chill office cat, and even stare into the void during those long elevator rides.
