Today I played DEATH AND TAXES, a 2020 indie game similar to Papers Please, where players take on the role of the Grim Reaper in a bureaucratic afterlife.
DEATH AND TAXES has a branching narrative with loads of dialog options and multiple endings. Gameplay revolves around choosing who lives and who dies from the files that appear on your desk, and then having conversations with your boss Fate. Player choices determine whether you save the world or condemn it to damnation.
Developed and published by Placeholder Gameworks, a small Estonia-based Indie game company. I played the free Steam demo for Windows PC, but the game is also available for Mac, Linux and Switch.
