Death and Taxes is a short narrative-driven indie game where you play as the Grim Reaper—specifically, a desk-bound employee tasked with deciding who lives and who dies. Working from a small office, you review case files, analyze personal details, and follow (or defy) the rules set by your mysterious superiors. Every decision has consequences that shape the fate of individuals and the future of the world itself.
The game blends dark humor with philosophical questions about morality, responsibility, and free will. Simple mechanics hide complex choices, forcing players to weigh logic, empathy, and obedience against one another. Multiple endings encourage replayability, as even small decisions can lead to vastly different outcomes.
With its minimalist art style, atmospheric music, and sharp writing, Death and Taxes delivers a thoughtful experience that stays engaging without overwhelming the player. It’s ideal for fans of story-rich games that focus on choice, consequence, and meaningful narrative over action-heavy gameplay.
