Extreme Tax Masters

Do you have what it takes to become the ultimate tax master?

This is a silly visual novel game I made for Nicole He's EXTREME Stream from March 2021. While the theme I was supposed to go for was "EXTREME" I thought it'd be funny to make a game that juxtaposed the incredibly mundane with an extreme aesthetic (specifically: explosions). This is what I ultimately made.

(By the way, if you're getting performance issues in FireFox on Linux, please use Chrome. As a Firefox user, I know it's annoying to be told that, but it seems like a problem with Pixi.js + Linux + Firefox that causes weird performance issues. I hate it)

Controls:

At the start of the game, you can use the keyboard to input your name. Select your pronouns with the mouse afterward.

Mainly use the mouse to advance text and select options, Visual Novel style.

For doing Tax Work, use the mouse and keyboard together to clear the tax forms and deductions from the screen.
