Our take on Budget Cuts
Players may bounce off when stealth gives way to close combat with knives and robots. Those looking for a purely cautious approach may also hit a wall when navigating the arcade mode's added difficulty settings and high-score focus.
What is Budget Cuts?
Play as a TransCorp employee facing dismissal in a dystopian office filled with cost-cutting robots.
Move through departments using a teleportation gun, hide around corners and in air vents, or confront enemies with thrown and stabbing knives. The game supports stealth, direct combat, and movement through virtual reality. The included Budget Cuts Arcade update adds four bonus levels, additional difficulty settings, and an arcade mode with high scores. The base game also includes an arcade machine in its main menu room for accessing these additions. The game is available for arcades on SpringboardVR.
