Placeholder Gameworks’ Death and Taxes is a narrative-based game where you take the role of the Grim Reaper… on an office job, deciding who will live or die. The choices you make, your relationship with your boss and the way you play will determine whether you save the world or condemn it to damnation. Meet a cast of oddball characters, foil plots to destroy the world, keep chaos away and dress to impress, all while experiencing beautiful hand-painted 2D watercolor-style graphics. Rise through the ranks of Reapers all the way up to middle-management!
