Created for the Something Awful Game Dev VI competition, Soul Tax sees you taking control of a ghost who has a debt to pay to the reaper. By entering the bodies of unsuspecting office workers, you can then beat other co-workers to death and finally jump out of the window, settling your debt… eventually.

The game starts off slowly but soon gets into a right proper swing, as each different worker introduced has a different special ability that can be used to finish everyone off. There’s a time limit on each level, and if you manage to kill more people than is required, you’ll get bonus points.

I really enjoyed the dialogue (written by designer and screenwriter Devin Presbury), so make sure you hit space rather than enter to read through it. Just in case it’s not obvious, space enters bodies, J punches, K kicks, and L implements the current character’s special move. Go play at Jorad’s site.
