About

Death and Taxes is a 2020 indie adventure game that puts you in the shoes of the Grim Reaper handling paperwork in a mundane office setting. This narrative-driven simulation blends dark humor with strategic decision-making, where your choices about who lives and dies carry real consequences. It's a unique entry in the indie scene that prioritizes storytelling and moral choices over action or graphics.

Since Death and Taxes only requires 2 GB of RAM and features 2D pixel-art aesthetics, it's an extremely accessible title that runs smoothly on modest hardware. You don't need a powerful GPU to maintain high FPS—even integrated graphics on budget laptops will deliver solid performance. This game is perfect for benchmark testing on lower-end systems, and you'll easily achieve 60+ FPS on virtually any modern PC without adjusting graphics settings.

With a solid 77/100 rating, Death and Taxes is worth playing if you enjoy narrative-heavy indie games with thoughtful themes. Fans of strategy simulations and story-driven adventures will find plenty to appreciate in its clever premise and meaningful decision-making mechanics.

Performance profile

Released in February 2020, Death and Taxes targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.

As a strategy title, Death and Taxes is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.

Extremely light — Death and Taxes runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
