Forms are boring. I can get behind a movement toward replacing them with a dating sim. Weighing my health insurance options is particularly onerous. I'd rather have waifu awkwardly blushing her way through the relevant questions. That would be more narratively satisfying than the usual "it costs more and covers less".

This is basically TurboTax, which has all the annoying chatter interfering with the task, but none of the erotic undertones. This product would be more effective as a browser extension to modifying the TurboTax web page styles.

  I'm sorry but because of the commas I can't help but read that first sentence as implying that Tax Haven 3000 is the program without any sort of erotic undertones compared to the very sensual TurboTax.

  I disagree. There are plenty of erotic undertones with TurboTax. I always feel like I'm getting fucked

Why have forms or dating sims at all? Most of Europe just has you log into their version of the CRA / IRS, confirm the numbers look right, and hit send. If you want to add exceptions, tax credits, etc, you can, but if you don't log in then it assumes you give it your blessing. Why get anime waifus involved at all?

  Arguably the waifus are to draw attention to how absurd the current US tax filing system is.

  Moving to these sorts of PAYE systems was a _huge_ project back in the day, and the US never did it. Arguably, given the incredibly messy state of US tax (federal, state and city, all with terribly complex rules and far more credits/exemptions than ~any European country) it _would_ be a lot less practical there, in any case.

  This entire game is an art project to make that point exactly.
