They say that only two things are guaranteed in life. But Death and Taxes comes to Xbox to prove different. At least, that’s what we are hoping.Â
Office joys!
Death and Taxes from Pineapple Works is a narrative focused game in which you play as the Grim Reaper. The thing is, this Grim Reaper finds themselves slap bang in the middle of an office job – the joys!
It’s up to you to decide which of your co-workers lives or dies (and no, you CAN’T do this in real-life). Every choice you make will have an affect on the world around you – just make sure you choose carefully.
What happens in Death and Taxes is entirely dependant on your state of mind. If you want to see the world suffer, crack on. But equally, moving up the ranks, happily working your way up the corporate ladder is doable. In fact, it’s just like a real office job…
It’s the key features that will get you
There are multiple fun things to get involved in with Death and Taxes on Xbox, with all of the following totally optional.

- Stare in the mirror and talk to yourself

- Listen to that one really catchy tune in the elevator
