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!

Sup everyone! Sorry for the relative radio silence X_X
We're going to have more news soon, about recent developments. We're busy as heck finishing up the final release (TWO MORE WEEKS), and it's looking awesome :3
Thank you for your support and patience!
#screenshotsaturday time folks!
When the game in the early stages, our concept artist sketched a LOT. Some of it made it into the final game, in some form, but some of it might serve as concepts for new things. Can you see what made it to the final game?

We're excited to announce that we've casted Isaak Wells in our game as Mortime! We're super happy with his efforts and eager to share it with you all!
Go follow him on Twitter and drop him a kind comment if you like his work! https://twitter.com/Isaakwells
Life (death?) as a Grim Reaper can be difficult... try your best not to... break down.

Many A True Nerd's author Jon played our game *_*
It's a great watch, he has a lot of tense moments (and fun), and does some incredible analysis of the profiles he had to pick!
Highly recommended! Also, an amazingly humbling experience (we're big fans).
ALSO! We just hit 1500 followers here on Game Jolt!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT EVERYONE! <3 <3 <3
I don't have much to show off right now other than MOAR TWITCH INTEGRATION. This is pretty much how you turn it on in-game!
We will have more to share soon with our lovely pirate shopkeeper :3 Thank you for your patience!
AAAA! Our Game Jolt page got noticed by PC Gamer!
Check it out! https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/death-is-a-matter-of-paperwork-in-the…
We might have something very cool to share with you in the coming days!
As a hint I can say it has something to do with our elusive shopkeeper, Mortimer! Stay tuned :3
