Death and Taxes: An Indie Game for a Narrative-Based Experience

Death and Taxes is a narrative-based indie game developed by Placeholder Gameworks that offers a unique and exciting experience. The game is available for Windows and falls under the simulation category. It is a 2D game that puts you in the shoes of the Grim Reaper, who has a completely normal office job. Your job is to decide which people will live or die, and your choices will have a significant impact on the world around you. The consequences of your decisions are yours to bear, and the mystery of your incarnation will be revealed as you progress through the game.

The game is similar to other narrative-based indie titles such as “Papers, Please,” “Reigns,” “Beholder,” and “Animal Inspector.” You will have to talk to your boss, get paid, buy items from Mortimer’s Plunder Emporium, decorate your desk, do paperwork, pet the cat, and even talk to yourself in the mirror. As you play, you will need to ensure that you keep the existential dread away and make meaningful choices to avoid chaos and save humanity. The game features an original soundtrack, fully voiced NPCs, and original artwork with watercolor graphics. With a branching storyline and multiple endings, Death and Taxes is a game that you will not want to miss.
