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!

What kind of Grim are you?
[Apparently you can switch the pictures with the arrows on the sides of the post - it took me like 5 post edits to figure that out myself, but then again I'm new here so bear with me oops >_>]
The different faces of Fate - your boss.
Fate has undergone several changes on their looks in the development of the game, but none of them have been quite as iconic as the one we have today (rightmost picture).
Who could say no to that face, right? >_>
A mysterious object... Wonder what it does... 🤔
This was our main menu for about 2 weeks in our development version to test out menu functionality.
Yes, that's Bongo Cat.
Our lead artist made a whole video as an homage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbZDU29W_e0
Yes, we love memes :|

Hi everyone!
Still adding some polish to the self-dialogue (monologue? >_>) system with some poof effects :3
Let me know what you think!
Floaty clouds are better than spinny clouds.
Was trying to animate the clouds, and of course everything works as intended the first time, as is the law of game development...
...not.
Is your conscience clear? You can find out if you talk to yourself.
In the mirror.
Constantly.
...just like real life.
Seasons greetings to all of you and may you have a peaceful and happy slide into the next year!
Happy holidays everyone and thank you for your amazing support and overwhelming love in sharing our dream with Death and Taxes!
