About the Game
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.

Official update history
We are happy to give y’all another round of bug fixes, improvements and more for Budget Cuts. (Full changelog at the bottom of this message.)
Improved Windows Mixed Reality support:
We have added increased support for WMR users, including proper controller graphics, tutorials and fixes for throwing not working properly on the platform. For the time being throwing will not feel quite as realistic as on Vive/Oculus and will require a slightly different throwing technique from the player. The reason for this is that implementing it in a way that is consistent with the throwing on Vive/Oculus platforms will require a more significant reworking of the current system. We still aim do this for a future patch, but for now this one will at least increase the playability for WMR users significantly.

GDPR:
We have implemented Unity Analytics and Cloud Diagnostics that will gather anonymous data regarding player progress, errors and crashes in Budget Cuts. This data will be used to help us improve the game. If you really hate helping us improve the game, you can opt out by pressing the new GDPR button on the left side of the Main Menu panel.
Changelog:
- GDPR button added in Main Menu.
- Unity Analytics and Cloud Diagnostics enabled.
- Improved WMR support (controller graphics, tutorial highlights, control tweaks (snap turn with thumbstick), decent throwing).
- Fixed faulty ceiling/floor collision in some areas of Human Resources.
- In the rare case that a corrupt save file is detected upon loading, the game will instead generate reasonable defaults, including giving you mission critical items and reset your progress in said level. This will prevent cases such as players getting softlocked by missing screws and/or spawning outside the level.
- Fixed russian localization in Arcade Mode score screen.
- Fixed a few objects that couldn't be put into the inventory.
- Fixed bullet marks rendering issue.
- Fixed a bug that made tutorial sometimes not appear correctly.
- Fixed negative score that occurred in rare occasions in Arcade Mode.
- Oculus Native throwing improvements.
- SPOILER: Refactored ADAM to fix him behaving strange at times.
Since the release of Arcade Mode we have received feedback and bug reports, mainly from Oculus Native users. In this patch we have addressed some of the issues and wishes you brought us!
We also added a Level Select in the Main Menu! This will let you select any level you previously reached when starting a New Game!
https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/12132313/8ad9e03883fbaf20392ccc1e436c20792a018851.jpg
Conveniently enough, the Level select also doubles as a HELP-I-AM-STUCK-IN-THIS-LEVEL-BECAUSE-STUPID-BUG buddy. We are aware that some users are experiencing bugs such as missing screws, ADAM acting strange, locked doors that can be opened by pushing them with physics objects. These issues are connected to the save system and have proven particularly difficult to address. As an emergency workaround for any such issues, we recommend to start a New Game on an empty Save Slot, then use the Level Select to start the same level you were playing when encountering the issue. This will sadly cause you to lose any objects stored in your inventory from previous levels, but should rid you of the save system issue (you will get to keep mission critical items, ofcourse).
See detailed patch notes below.
Thank you for all your feedback, please keep it coming! :)

We are very happy to announce the release of Budget Cuts Arcade - a special game mode with a focus on replayability, with 4 new levels that are added automatically in this patch. To access them you need to use the arcade cabinet in the main menu. We’ve also put Budget Cuts on sale for a few days to celebrate the launch of the Arcade mode and hope that you have a lot of fun stabbing our virtual robots. We don’t mind. It’s fine. It didn’t take us a long time to make them or anything. I’m sure nobody will miss them...
