The Debt: An IRS Bureaucracy Simulator

The Debt: An IRS Bureaucracy Simulator

A choice-based game designed to simulate the frustration of the Israeli IRS. Guided by a Dork Angel and an Ars Angel, you must navigate the bureaucracy to solve a debt that isn't yours.

The Debt

You have received a notification: You have an unjustified debt. It was not yours to begin with, but now it is your problem.

Your goal is to navigate the corridors of the Israeli Tax Authority and reach the final destination to cancel this debt. The game is designed to replicate the feeling of real bureaucracy: frustration, confusion, and helplessness.

The Gameplay

This is a click game focused on binary choices. In every situation, you are presented with a Left or Right choice, dictated by the two conflicting voices guiding you:

• The Dork Angel: Represents the polite, by-the-book approach. He wants you to follow the rules, fill out the forms, and wait your turn.
• The Ars Angel (Kasos): Represents the aggressive, street-smart approach. He wants you to cut corners, shout, and demand what you want right now.

Features

• Left/Right Decision Making: Every turn in the corridor requires you to choose a path.
• Intentional Frustration: The game does not make it easy. Just like the real IRS, progress is difficult and logic does not always apply.
• The Struggle: Balance the advice of your two angels to survive the system.

Will you solve the debt, or will you give up in the corridors?
