It's fine. Not anything particularly complex but ultimately fun to play through once even if you're likely to never think about it after doing so.

Really enjoyable game, short but easily replayable. I liked the ending and I would highly recommend it to anyone who's interested in death and dark humor. Took me about 1 hr to finish one playthrough, so I can assume it would take maybe 5 hrs max to finish the entire game.

Death and Taxes is a game where you play as the grim reaper. You can choose to follow orders, try to save humanity, or try to doom it. It's all up to you. The game has multiple endings, but I've only played once so haven't experienced any other ones, though I might give it another playthrough eventually. From what I understand the gameplay is very similar to Papers, Please, a game I have yet to try. It's a pretty standard office job type game. The voice acting was pretty well done. I really liked the conversations with Fate. The game also has a cat, so bonus points for that. Really solid story. I think it challenges you through the daily reviews of your job. You want to please Fate and not get fired, but you also may end up desperately trying to save humanity by the end and defying orders. I'd like to see what other endings it offers. I really like the art style. It's very fitting for what the game is about and pleasing to the eye. The soundtrack is very enjoyable and relaxing. I like how it's actually kind of upbeat despite the fact that you're literally deciding who dies. Adds a bit of an eerie feeling, because to the employees, it's just another job. This is a short and sweet game, and I think I might even call it a bit of a hidden gem. Nice game to unwind to.

A cute, fun, and quick game with a simple premise. It's an easy one to recommend to nearly any player that enjoys visual novel type games. It's not life changing, but its very charming with fun music and voice acting, and very much worth the few bucks you can pick it up for.

Death and Taxes provides an enjoyable short experience with multiple endings influenced by your gameplay choices. In this game, you step into the role of the Grim Reaper. Will you choose to follow the rules or rebel against them?

This is really a charming little game that plays a bit like a puzzler and a bit like a visual novel, with occasional notes of other game types. It's not especially challenging, but nor does it feel "too easy" or anything of that sort, because it's not fully clear at the start what the objective actually is. And yet, rather than making the game feel aimless, this makes it narratively stronger.

Great experience. If you play Death and Taxes, you should definitely do at least 2 runs. The first run was okay, but the second one is where the most interesting part of this game begins. The way it connects with the previous events feels so satisfying, repeating the same steps, but having more knowledge this time. Both the desk lamp and the snow globe become genuinely useful, and these mechanics help you change the fate of the game (literally).

Death and Taxes really caught me off guard in a good way. The art style is great, and the whole idea of playing as a grim reaper deciding who lives and dies was more fun than I expected. I liked that my choices actually mattered, and seeing the different endings made it worth going back to.

Very good game, very interesting, with an unexpected amount of stuff to do, that is both it's strong suit and it's weakness; There are clearly runs you need to do a certain way in order to get a specific thing, and while the number of "people profiles" is varied enough to keep one entertained for a while, after you get the lamp they kinda become meaningless for the most part. A system to better keep track of dialogue choices from one run to another would also be nice. I don't know if I will get back to it, as it has started to become a little too tedious to get things to go your way , although i do feel like there is a lot I still haven't found yet given the nr. of achievements. Overall, very good game that at least discounted over 50% (how I got it), is very much worth it and fun. Cheers

Game trying to pose as a moral dilemma, ended up not even being a game. At all. In the end, you have to make the choices the devs would to get a good ending. Simply trying to beat it on your own, using your own moral compass just results in a 'somewhat unpredictable' bad ending one way or another. 12€ wasted.
