A Game About Literally Doing Your Taxes

About

Play as a taxpayer navigating the chaos of tax season. Your task is to sort through piles of documents identify what counts as valid deductions and avoid mistakes that could trigger audits. Each week brings new forms and deadlines and you need to stay on top to keep your financial standing intact. The interface mirrors real tax software complete with confusing menus and cryptic error messages. The game’s deadpan humor shines in how it turns bureaucratic hell into a puzzle game. While not a relaxing experience it earns praise for its spot on replication of the stress and tedium of actual tax filing. Launched in 2019 it’s a niche title that’s gained a cult following among those who appreciate its literal approach. Available on PC and Mac it’s best played with a strong coffee and irony.
