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!
Follow us here on Game Jolt and wishlist us on Steam to stay up-to-date with the game and its updates!
Free playable Demo available! ^_^
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!

Hi everyone!
Just released an update to the demo! It's now a lot more similar to the full release.
We've also deprecated the WebGL Demo due it, well, dying under the pressure of an actual, full game. Sorry about that!
Check it out! ^_^
Final push to release, Grims! 11 days to go.
Adding some quality of life stuff for clarity's sake and to reduce frustration!
Reapers reap the best when they are comfy!
Meanwhile... we've made this handy chart of bigger youtubers who have played the game in, uh, a certain way that may be familiar to you >_>
