Death is only the beginning

Of the two, I think I prefer death! HO HO HO.

Death And Taxesis a genre-defying I-suppose-a-puzzle-game where you work as a new, junior Grim Reaper. This is an office job just like any other office job, it turns out, with a lot of admin and paperwork. Your supervisor gives you quotas for how many people you have to kill each day, and you can choose to ignore them or follow orders dutifully. But there are consequences.

Every day you get a new raft of files describing the puny humans you could crush beneath your big death stamp of doom. It’s an interesting dynamic, because you are so remote from the immediate consequences of your actions (i.e. you do not see the people die), but then later see them gradually play out. And eventually you might have some consequences as well.
