my god, this is awesome. its so short but its so interesting. this is one of the best itch.io games ive played, the work put into this game must have been alot! im surprised this isnt on steam or being sold. i thought this game was gonna be a little like papers, please but it took a turn and it spooked me just a little! lol. first you hear the whispers and youre like, what was that? am i hearing things? and then it just goes downhill from there and it really made me wanna know more about the story, i wish it was longer! amazing game, 5 out of 5 stars from me :)
Great game, with a great premise. (Video below if anyone wants to watch!!)
You've taken something that is very mundane and made it something very scary and dreadful. The ominous tone and the music at the end is really well done and even the subliminal messages through the cards throughout the game was also implemented well. Didn't expect the occult-esque twist at the end there, but it adds to the metaphor about taxes and life going on the same over and over again among other things.
Overall, it was really well thought through and well made. Keep up the great work!
i thought it was a missed opportunity to make a game that actually simulates filing your taxes, but then i learned yall only had 48 hours (wish the name of the jam was listed somewhere). very well done for 48 hours; a fun game that takes an interesting turn. im eager to check out buddy simulator sometime!
shouldv'e checked the comments first before playing the game dead at night with headphones on. Nonetheless, great game! the animations were superb, the audio used were awesome, and thee concept was brilliant!
Absolutely loved this game. What started out like a regular day at the office quickly turned into something more sinister. Those voices in your ear were a brilliant setup for the horror to come.
Minor criticism, the music was a little too loud and I found it hard to make out the whispers. Could have done with being gentle background music. Great melody choice though. Makes it feel all the more weird and creepy when stuff starts to happen.

Just a normal game about doing taxes. I love it.
Really fun game! Played it a while ago on my channel and well... after a while of paying my taxes... I scribbled all over them... (oops)

Being a 15 year old who has never done taxes..i think imma commit tax evasion..lmao jk good game.
Don't you also hate it when you were sended back to a traumatic childhood experience while doing your tax ?
I DID NOT WANT TO PLAY A HORROR GAME D:
I did like it tho
This was such an amazing game! Now I know how to do my taxes :D thank you for also teaching me that I am awful at making signatures <3
(btw I didn't realize this was tagged 'horror' until after I played it...)
This one took an interesting turn. I liked it a lot.
+1 for the signature mechanic

this is such a fun game! honestly, the twist ending was also great! :)
A perfect simulation about what it's like to do your taxes.

Probably the most accurate representation of doing taxes, reminds me of how the past 10 years have gone.

Thanks Not a Sailor Studios. Great little game.
creepy
A fine is a tax for doing something wrong.
A tax is a fine for doing something right
Not going to lie, I honestly thought there was a ghost in my room whispering in my ear for a moment lmao. Awesome game!
Now i know why Yoshi doesn't pay his taxes. Cool game anyways!
omg what an experience. That was amazing well done, I also recommend the indiexpo.net website for your game too.
YouTuber: Fellowplayer
it not loading for me
i will never look at taxes the same way again
Just about doing your taxes. Nothing more than that.
Did you already pay your taxes today?
it may look like a simple game but it has an interesting plot
