Comments on Death and Taxes for Android

★★★★★ Ao Lani · Nov 14, 2025
Game is peak. I love that it has voice acting so much, the art is amazing and the game in itself is great I love the concept.
★★★★★ Clovis · Dec 25, 2025
Peak game. Absolute cinema. But can't date Fate, that man is handsome. Nevertheless, still a peak game.
★★★★★ Janssen Moralde Roche · Aug 4, 2024

★★★★★ Waed Sheet · Dec 5, 2025
Very very very nice. I never played such a game before What I like is that every day is a new day, and indeed, every action has a reaction. Really nice, truly
★☆☆☆☆ Kakashi · Aug 5, 2024
Isn't working after Intro. Getting stuck
★☆☆☆☆ Joel Dickinson · Oct 14, 2026
Frustrating to play as the touch input seemed really inaccurate. And got an ad after the first level.
★★☆☆☆ MissMortis · May 9, 2025
I would love to play this, but it won't let me start a new game clicking the page does nothing.
★★☆☆☆ Yup · May 29, 2025
-3 stars your unnecessarily adding in your "gender-neutral" nonsense into the game. Otherwise, it's entertaining enough. No bugs yet.

Description by Placeholder Gameworks Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
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!
