[It's a game about death, taxes, and playing as the Grim Reaper. There's "Deadbolt," "Grim's Hollow," and many others whose names I can't recall.

"Death and Taxes" imagines that the reaping is not so tragic and a bit mundane. 'For God's sake, Reaper,' but more frankly expresses the weight of one's actions. You are literally picking people off a list of possible deaths. That's because you are the new Reaper, and that's your main job. You sit at your desk, look over your character sheet, pick up your stamp, and after much deliberation, mark one of the people who is about to die.

The tone is quite bright, the artwork stylish and whimsical. Of course, these are difficult choices, but thanks to their light tone, they are not that difficult. Will you be a model employee and sign their death warrants without question, or will you make your enigmatic boss question what you're doing?
