each meeting, what was to be done and discussed during each meeting, and what was to be done

Check out Sign or Die on itch.io

Sign or Die is a puzzle platformer where the player controls a mouse-pointer stick figure to platform across wacky forms in order to fill them out with help from a set of cryptic notes. Along the way, the player will have to deal with more complex forms and finding new tools, such as a pen for virtual signatures.

The taxpayer is held in place by the new tax application they were trying out, thinking they would finally get some relief from not being able to figure out things like the number of coffee mugs used per year tax or the dragon watcher’s mutual fund calculations. Will this poor soul be able to fill out the forms and be released from the tax application’s grasp?
