Compliance failure

Holmér says the

Budget Cuts demo, which is available now on Steam, was designed with the first-time player in mind – and the studio has seen it played enough times by now to know when someone’s not an absolute beginner. “The second time you play it, it’s too easy,” Holmér says. “We’ve noticed that some YouTubers are playing the demo before they start to record. They just steamroll through the whole thing, but are pretending they’re playing it for the first time. It’s weird, and a shame – the most interesting part of Budget Cuts is when someone fails, or gets detected; these little moments of panic. [Playing it through beforehand] kind of ruins the whole experience.”
