About Budget Cuts
Sneak through a dystopian corporate office using your teleportation gun to outwit deadly robots, relying on stealth, throwing knives, and creative use of cover in this VR-exclusive experience. Budget Cuts delivers visceral, immersive VR gameplay that proves the medium's potential with tight mechanics and thrilling combat encounters.

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.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Budget Cuts is a distinctive VR stealth game that players praise for its creative use of VR mechanics, satisfying physics interactions, and engaging corporate espionage premise with dark humor. Common complaints center on unclear objectives and occasional confusion about where to go or what to do, plus some players find the level design repetitive and encounter bugs, though many still find the core experience rewarding despite these issues. Players generally recommend it to VR headset owners looking for a unique stealth experience.
i am in love witht he scary robot. fun game2 found this helpful
The game is way too confusing at times. Don't get me wrong I love the physics and it is kinda satisfactory but sometimes you'll just get stuck and there's nothing telling you where to go or what to do1 found this helpful
Budget Cuts is a distinctive virtual reality stealth game that turns the dull routines of corporate office life into an entertaining struggle for survival. Developed by Neat Corporation and published by Neat Corporation together with Creature Label, the game was released in 2018 and was designed specifically around VR rather than adapting conventional first-person gameplay to a headset. Its combination of stealth, physical interaction, dark humor, science-fiction satire, and sudden bursts of combat gives it an identity that remains easy to recognize among VR titles. The player assumes the role of an employee working for TransCorp, a massive corporation where mundane responsibilities include stamping papers and filing documents. Unfortunately, the company specializes in producing robots designed to cut expenses, and human employees have become part of the budget that management intends to eliminate. This simple premise provides an effective foundation for the game's humor and dystopian atmosphere. The ordinary office environment becomes threatening once robotic security begins hunting the player, transforming cubicles, corridors, ventilation systems, and departmental workspaces int…
Positive: it is short for what it offers and what it offers was made pertty well. Also a good "VR Legs" style of a game. But after having played a lot of VR games since testing this out in 2018(?) when I tested VR with original Vive, this is not it for me anymore. I had fond memories of playing one level and liking the teleporter ball concept and the stealth. I still do and I still liked the teleporter gun, but overall I was left dissappinted playing this almost a decade since it came out. Story was serviceable, but biggest negatives came from very repetitious levels and design, useless interactable objects, funky throwing, soft locking bugs (some that made the end boss stuck in a wall and made the end level easy, yay) and overall very "1st game by a team"-sort of a game. And they did very well, just not up to today's standards and too many annoyances. I am extremely mixed on this. But overall, as I just wanted the game to end even before the 2 last missions, i have to give this a negative rating.
a fun and engaging corporate espionage spy game with decent puzzles, stealth and combat. the aesthetics are on-point and overall i would recommend this game to anyone with a VR headset.
A fun game which utilizes VR mechanics well. now there are a few places were finding out what to do is difficult or the game is exsessivly hard, but the game is great regardless. hiding under desks is scary and fun in VR, hitting an enemy is difficult and rewarding. it does a good job at keeping you one your toes, and kept my heart racing.
