About
In this small Indie, short 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!

Azrail olmak eğlenceli değildi desem yalan olur, Boyutu küçük bir oyun olmasına rağmen bir sürü farklı sonu ve Easter Egg'i var bence parasını hak eden oyunlardan biri.
Similar to Papers Please many ways, but compelling enough to make it a worthwhile playthrough for fans of the genre. But if you haven't played Papers Please yet then absolutely play that first.
A fun rendition of the "Papers, Please" formula. If you enjoyed that, you'll likely enjoy this too and I'd call this way more laid back and less emotionally taxxing.

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Jogo e muito legal de jogar. Super recomendo.
Juego cortito muy rejugable con una historia novedosa, una estética diferente y tiene una similitud a papers please.
If you want to relax, I highly recommend it; I love the music in this game, and the characters are amazingly well-made.
剛開始玩第一周目時完全搞不清楚狀況，大量文字對話選項但沒有目標讓人感到有點煩躁。不過後來發現會需要多周目來解成就，如果以解成就和多結局為目的，每次輪迴都有意識的選不同的選項來觀測事件走向和新的結局，反而可以找到樂趣。 比較麻煩的是，有時候不小心行差踏錯一步(選錯選項)，就要重新走一遍新的周目(28天的工作!!)，才能達成想要的結局。簡直是另類的社畜模擬遊戲。 [spoiler] 為了解成就走了十五個周目，玩到快吐了!! 我在最後一次遊戲後處死了所有遊戲職員!! [/spoiler]
Dying of boredom
hafiften bayıyo 1 kere oynayıp geçersen güzel ama
I honestly love death and taxes (though not the latter lmao). Anyhow, I guess this game could be pretty much summed up as a more complex Papers please, I game which I absolutely adored. So yeah, take it from this random stranger online, this game is truly peak and worth your time and money! (better than paying taxes anyhow)
