About the Developer:
Neat Corp is a small Stockholm-based independent VR games studio comprising a dozen developers, artists and designers. They made their mark in the early VR scene with the classic hit Budget Cuts and its sequel Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency, both stealth action games entirely for virtual reality, which later inspired Half-Life: Alyx. After many years of action and dark humour, they did a 180 and decided it was time for something more bright and cosy with Garden of the Sea before returning to perfect the full Budget Cuts Ultimate experience. They’re currently working on their next adventure, roguelike adventure Crossings.
