Plan your next Death and Taxes session
Our independent guide examines Death and Taxes through five core lenses—choice impact, narrative branches, character customization, office tasks, and technical options—so you can spot patterns without relying on undocumented mechanics.
01 / THE GUIDE
Decision Impact Log
Create a simple table listing each major choice and the immediate narrative change it triggers. Comparing entries across playthroughs highlights which decisions shape the story most strongly.
- Notice how a single choice changes later dialogue.
- Compare world states after opposite decisions.
02 / THE GUIDE
Branch Comparison
Play two runs that differ on a key decision. Record differences in dialogue, environment details, and ending type to map how the branching structure reacts to opposite choices.
- Record which decisions open new branches.
- Try opposite outcomes at key moments.
03 / THE GUIDE
Reaper Visual Review
Select several visual customizations for the Grim Reaper and capture screenshots in the same scene. Compare the images to see how the watercolor style adapts to different designs.
- Experiment with different visual options.
- Observe how the character looks in various scenes.
04 / THE GUIDE
Office Task Survey
Interact with each office activity—boss talk, shop purchase, cat petting—and note any new dialogue options or narrative hints that appear after each action.
- Try each activity at least once.
- Watch for any new dialogue after each task.
05 / THE GUIDE
Technical Feature Check
Enable Steam Cloud, finish a short session, then launch via Remote Play on a tablet. Observe whether your progress loads and whether the UI appears consistent.
- Enable Steam Cloud if you wish to store saves online.
- Use Remote Play on a tablet for a different viewing angle.
