Steam Store description

You are an employee at the mega conglomerate TransCorp, and it's your job to stamp papers and file files! Unfortunately for you, TransCorp is an expert in the business of manufacturing cost-cutting robots, and now you are about to be fired. Built for Virtual Reality from the ground up, Budget Cuts is a stealth game set in a dystopian office-scape with tons of evil robots and even more knives (for throwing and stabbing them with!) Use your TransLocator gun to teleport through the many departments of TransCorp. Sneak around corners , hide behind air vents , or go nuts with lots of robot-killing action ! Budget Cuts Arcade (accessed through the arcade machine in the main menu room) is a free update that now comes with the base game automatically, and adds four new bonus levels to the game, new difficulty levels, as well as a new Arcade Game Mode with high scores for the best runs! Full patch notes are available on our steam newshub.

That’s a very, very exciting thing.” Kotaku “I can’t wait to play more of Budget Cuts, which might be the best, most interesting VR game I’ve played.” IGN "Virtual Reality Sneak ‘Em Up Budget Cuts Looks Ace" RPS PLEASE NOTE! We would NOT suggest that younger children play this game. Available for Arcades on SpringboardVR
