Field notes
The game uses fiscal vocabulary as its core ruleset: income is withheld to escrow, while kills, forms, and bosses become itemized deductions. Runs move through fifteen procedurally generated quarters across five worlds, and death converts earnings into permanent Tax Refund upgrades. The browser demo covers the first three quarters and the Senior Auditor boss fight, with the page stating that it can run offline without signup.
