I enjoyed this game, a totally normal game about doing taxes with no dark twist at all :)
The scares absolutely got me. A nice lil short horror game!
I had a lot of fun with this game, and It's absolutely crazy that you made this in under 48h, Congrats!!!
PARDON?!?!?!? what did i just play TwT
peak game i was NOT prepared for that ending lol
0/10 I only wanted to do my taxes bro
I GENUINELY THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ABOUT DOING TAXES SO IT SCARED ME SO BAD </3
Bro I will try any indie game as a rule but I'm not playing this lmao. Once a year is too much as it is...
didnt think taxes could be made scary really enjoyed this one
it was apart of my three scary games video
Good Game!
couldnt play it on my mac
same for me>
Peak of gaming culture. Better than fortnight
Funny, simple, and way more unsettling than a game about doing your taxes has any right to be.
Was a fun game however i didn't read anything before playing so the ending was a nice surprise
is not playing this tax evasion
that was definitely a fun game and machinic thank you for making it, i also made a video on it right here
check that out for some fun >:)the mac download of this game doesn't work on macOS Tahoe version 26.5.2
This game made me feel stuff and it felt funny and kinda weird but in a good way. Also take five but 8bit? Damn
I never knew I needed an 8-bit rendition of Dave Brubeck's 'Take Five' in my life until this game came along...
Me ha encantado, simple y sencilla la premisa pero muy divertidas. Parece que hacer impuestos puede llevar a uno a la locura, no lo intenten en sus casas, jajaja! Recomendado! Muchas gracias a todos por desarrollarlo y que continúen los éxitos!
I don't want to make my taxes anymore. This is my Italian gameplay
5/5
I loved this game
Mac fix (for at least up to OS Ventura) - use The Unarchiver to extract game, not Archive Utility. Give game permission to run in Security settings, and it should be all good.
Only think I want to know is, how to change resolution?
Really fun game keep up the good work.
Absolute banger of a game. I enjoyed it. It's brief, but packs a punch. made for some great content!
10/10
I forgot it was a horror game and then got jumpscared almost cried lol
bro when he first talked it jumpscared the crap out of me
This game seems really cool! Just letting you, though, it doesn't seem to work on MAC.
i didn't knew it was a horror game until things got started getting eerie or weird and i'm glad i went on.
still a young teenager. justice for people who do taxes 👊👊
it took me a few in-game days to realize this was secretly a horror game.
BRUH
I started playing this because captainsauce did, but I actually enjoyed playing. 10/10 would recommend.
