In this 2D, 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!

For added spoopiness :|
That awkward moment when apparently your entire office building is haunted :|
Just kidding. This isn't a scary game, it's just a bug with unfinished text :D
Been working on some ambience for our elevator scene, so here's one spectacularly failed attempt at making the little characters move >_>
At least they're trying really hard.
A calendar! To track your progress in the office. Only 28 days to save the world... Or to doom it to destruction.
A little throwback to when we implemented a shader effect for the profiles to disappear neatly.
We've changed the profile form since then (as you can see in some of the other images) but kept the effect because it's AWESOME
Can't decide who to doom to their inevitable demise?
Easy. Just flip a coin #indiedev #indiegame #indiegames
Time for #screenshotsaturday!
Get your desk in order and cram all of your crap into your desk drawers!
Become the tidiest Grim of them all with groundbreaking desk-customization features >_>
