I enjoy this game a lot! I've yet to win though, specifically because of my inability to scroll around the desk. When I'm sorting papers, I get stuck waaayy at the bottom and there's no easy or logical way to scroll back up to my main papers. Am I missing something or is this something that could be added?
this was fun as hell but i cannot file taxes in ten minutes😭 maybe perhaps add a sort of speedrun mode or a timeless mode with a timer? id love that
I had to learn taxes and use common sense just to play this game without realizing the instructions were below the form 😭😭 I have no initial experience or influence with filing taxes, this game has led me to discover the nerd allegations will not be beat. Thank you
Very fun. Absolutely loved this. First attempt I did everything right except the first value because I wrote down the total amount of gold I have instead of only acquired this year.
This game made me realize that I want to be a bookkeeper, 10/10 thank you for helping me choose a career goal
the text is too small to read… and where is the menu option so i could edit the size of font or change their font?
Amazingly fun for someone like me. I was able to make a spreadsheet to make the whole thing much easier. It takes me longer to read through the exceptions and add the values to my sheet, than it does anything else. Would love to see more stuff like this.
I did it on my 3rd try! Woo!
This was strangely fun! My record for a perfect return is 4 minutes left exactly! (I did create a spreadsheet to help me, not sure if that's cheating)
I had so much fun with this! I almost got it after a few tries - just have to take some time before playing again. I like that there is a chance to add time during the learning curve, and the paperwork is very manageable once you get an idea of what you're looking at. Accurately simulates filing real taxes without the dread of real life fines for mistakes!
love this gameeee. Nakakainis 'di ko ma purfectt huhu

I feel like this could be expanded into a full on game of dragon horde management.
Wow! This game really made me feel like a dragon doing my tax returns!
Harder than any Souls game
I got it all right except for B7 because whats written on the form and on the instructions are different, i followed the instructions and it was wrong
I hate this so much and i also absolutely LOVE it, haven't been able to get through all the game tho, but accountancy and being a dragon at the same time? This is some piece of real genious i didn't know i needed. Thank your for this real world both hellish and fantastical exprience, can't wait to finally get my dragon taxes properly done (for reals).
You've blessed the world with a hellish fate. Thank you, I hate it. Time to try again...
I got into minute 3 and had to chicken out. God this is stressful as it is but with 10 minutes to do a lot of math, reading, and note taking this... I'm going to have nightmares about this.
Great game 5/5
this was fun (and the second game about taxes i played today, unexpected but nice). cool idea! thanks for making and sharing
Surprisingly involved and quite fun.
Got it right, but it took 18 high-stress minutes.
Lol this was fun
10/10 would play again. I do have one suggestion, when ever you looses you should be put under investigation for tax fraud. You would have to go to court and then serve jail time or pay a hefty fine.
Hilarious Idea. I picture this as the expansion to a mini-game in some dragon life sim. Really fun. I failed miserably :)
