About
Sketchy's Contract is a co-op sci-fi horror looting game set in a mysterious asteroid belt where you, a traveler, have caught wind of an strange broadcast while in deeps pace that promises a grand adventure with rewards beyond comprehension. Your duties will be simple but fun! Whether alone or with friends, you'll be able to travel to and explore exotic planets, harvest planetary materials, fight alien lifeforms, search for scattered loot, help run a burger shop, play mini games at an arcade and decorate your apartment and ship! The catch? There's no catch at all...
While Sketchy's is NOT a story driven game, there is however, a small optional linear story that players can complete that will explain everything involving Sketchy. Simply follow the Story Quests as they lead you from planet to planet searching for something known as "Memory Fragments". You'll even be rewarded with your very own golden flamingo in-game trophy for completing it.
Progression is incredibly important in Sketchy's. Your going to face some pretty deadly enemies and having enough health and damage to take them on is crucial. The more loot you, the more XP you gain to level up, earning you points to spend at the Suit Modifier to change attributes such as Health, Attack Power, Stamina, and more.
The Night Shift is one of the more unique aspects of Sketchy's. You get to decide whether to stay on the planet and survive the Night Shift or leave and not risking a Team Wipe. Staying overnight means getting access to much more valuable loot but also fighting much more deadly enemies. The choice is always yours.
Loot Sketchy Access Crates - The map is broken up into difficulty-based sections called Security Levels. Finding and opening access crates spread throughout the map can reveal codes that grant access to new security levels containing more valuable loot and higher security access crates..
Loot Gatherables - Gathering is one of the major of ways of getting loot to meet your quota. You'll be able to Dig up hidden treasure, Mine Ore, and Harvest Herbs all with the single click of a button. You will also be able to level up your gathering skills via your suit modifier, allowing you to perform gathering actions much more efficiently.
Loot Corpses of the Creature you Kill - if you're brave enough, you can be the hunter instead of the hunted and kill creatures. Most of them can be picked up while some of them might require a shrink ray to make them light enough to carry.
All loot is important and its even more so when it comes to the Burger Shop. Certain loot can be brought to the inventory room in the Burger Shop and restocked on the Shelves to build progress toward game perks. As you fill the inventory higher and higher, you'll gain access to things like cooking burgers, brewing coffee, and even a Black Market Vendor that spawns randomly on planets each contract with extremely powerful weapons/utilities items.
Cooking Burgers is just one of perks you can unlock. Consuming one of these instantly heals you to full then heal per second over 30 mins afterwards. Additionally all damage is increased by 10% for that duration.
Another perk is 30% discount from the Black Market Vendor who is a special NPC that appears randomly on different planets each contract based on planetary conditions. Everything sold here is pricey but powerful.
Keep in mind though that Aliens will visit the Burger Shop as you play, consuming a small amount of your Shop inventory as they order food. You'll need to work hard for the Burger Shop if you want to keep all those fancy optional Perks. The choice is yours.
As your complete contracts, you'll gain rewards in the form of credits, arcade coins and gotcha coins all which can be used to purchase new player skins, furniture to decorate your apartment and ship, as well as play mini games at the arcade.
Decorate your apartment with 100+ different unlockables and that's not to mention all the corpses you collected as trophies. There's even a loot convertor machine that allows you to convert collected loot into furniture so that you never lose them on a contract wipe.

♥♥ I came for the game, but the claw machines kidnapped my soul ♥♥ Aside from claw machines being the only reason I exist, Sketchys Contract is an absolutely amazing game crafted with incredible care and creativity. For a solo dev, they've created a game that feels full-featured and goes far beyond what you would think a one-person team would create. Especially when adding in that the dev is incredibly active within the community. He has joined into streams (while not my own, I have seen him pop into others), listens to feedback, and implements changes to make the experience better for everyone. It's not something you see every day where a dev commits to every aspect of the game including the community to this level. I do genuinely believe the game could benefit from better marketing tactics (I say this as someone working in marketing) to reach a wider audience and attract more players or hype. But, it is a game that already delivers amazing entertainment and lets you hear your friend's scream in terror. If you want a game that is fun, creativity, heartwarming and the dev listens to the community, then this is it. I prefer to play this game multiplayer especially with friends as the interactions and screams I hear are top tier. Hearing your friends scream from an Elizabeth while just waddling away like you heard nothing is great.
Мёртвый плагиат Lethal Company с пугающей оптимизацией, которому 2 года.
I hardly ever write reviews, but Sketchy's... Sketchy's derserves one. Out of all the loot'em, scares with friends like Lethal, Repo and the like, this is my all time favorite. Beautifully designed maps? Check. Varienty of enemies (and non enemies) to learn and encounter? Check Weapons to show your superiority until something bigger puts you in your place? Check Exploration? Absolutely. Its not as scary as others, which I appreciate, but focuses on the exploration and looting. And no map feels like a copy of another. All unique, all beautiful, all frustration in their own way. Solo or grouped, you'll have a blast. And for those who want to create their own space? Loot is not just a way to make money ;). Stay Sketchy!
Got the game in 2024 played over 10 hours we enjoyed a lot and moved on because of well nothing to grind on it was fun but we felt we play as there is nothing to gain. So after 10 hours we left the game and waited for possible updates which they came! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3722343388 We wanted to play again in 2026 and there was a lot of new enemies, loots, progression system, pets, cool decorations etc etc. Game got depth and new maps & updates runs perfectly ok no FPS issues. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3287086476 I will say it as its current state this game is underrated a lot more of people should discover and play this game, My reason to replay the game is literaly to take revenge against PEW PEW which is a smily robot who rockets your butt when you get close to him destroying it is the reason why i enjoyed it the most! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3722343185 All jokes and details aside this game is ready for more people to play and discover try it out yet, there is almost no player in the game anymore not sure why but it is pretty darn good game in my opinion. I will suggest specialy if you like a co-op game where you spend time with your friends screw around progress unlock cool stuff and have a good time!
My personal favourite Lethal-like game out there. Lots of different loot & treasures to do & collect, regular updates & special events, a responsive dev, lots of different maps & threats to deal with, a fun lobby to wait for your friends in, and lots of cosmetics to unlock & decorate with.
Probably the most underated game in the genre. This masterpiece was and still is created by a SINGLE DEVELOPER. The game comes with the usual roguelike grind. - You land on a planet and search for loot. You can either stay 3 days and nights on the same planet or return to orbit to go some place new. - Should you stay past midnight prepare for a beating. You can upgrade your suit to increase your stats or focus on a certain playstyle. - The usual perks include health, stamina, damage and carry capacity. - Then there's also perks like swapping your dodge for a shield to become a tank. Compared to many other games in the genre this one has beautiful and very unique planets that feature a bunch of different themes. - You got a breathtaking ocean planet with pirates, treasure diving and giant crabs. - Theres spooky stuff and very spooky stuff. - You have a desert featuring a oasis and an ancient temple with traps. - A vulcanic biome with lots of lava and critters that swim in said lava. - A cozy winter wonderland. - FREAKING DINOSAURS! The game itself is split in 3 different difficulties that come with their own quota requirements, tier exlusive tools and weapons and furniture(theres even a whole apartment for you and your friends to furnish.) - You're basically on the hunt for a keycard to access level 1 to then find the level 2 keycard etc. - Should you aquire the level 3 keycard you're in for some juicy juicy loot and possible a pet. -You get ingame currency for completing contracts to buy skins, plushies, weapon charms or furniture. - Tools and weapons range from basic PEW PEW to even bigger PEW PEW that set you, the enemy and half the map on fire. - You can smack enemies with a flamingo on a stick, a spatula or some cosmic laser sword. - There is also shrink rays, jetpacks and containers that store even the most volatile of items. Once you progess deeper into the game you unlock additíonal mechanics. - You can unlock buff food if you provide the materials to cook them. - You can fill up the main hubs storage to unlock even more passive bonuses like faster respawn time, more cash from contracts, shop discounts and unique perks on certain weapons. For 9$ this is basically a steal. It's rare to find this level of quality by a single developer.
A little more "serious" sometimes than Lethal Company, but so many different things to gather and collect and new suits and different planets! With the right friends, serious comedy is going to ensue.
Fun with friends, only thing is you have to drop weapon on the ship before logging out or you would lose the item. I hope they did it in a way you drop items where you left instead. I think it needs some of tutorial where *You can dodge Pew Pew's direct missile hit if you vibe*, Found this out when we play with a random. Maybe it does say somewhere but we didn't know about it. I kind of hope it's easier to choose the emote because if you were to choose the wrong emote you end up dying. The arcade is like a chill mini game after "work". Love it! Get the reward from gacha machine and play some crane game. I am hoping for more character skins in future!
I've heard it compared to REPO and Lethal, and the only thing I'll say on that is if you're comparing them, this one is FAR MORE superior by 10000%. It makes you think, you laugh as someone gets killed by a pile of treasure, it is constantly with updates, the fact that it's just PRETTY as well? Dev does amazing work, and clearly isn't paid enough. Please play this game, it is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good. PS: I hate envy so much that Gollum stealing jerk
I really like this game, though most of my experience was prior to apparently a pretty major update (or more than one) which I think made it even better! Extraction game, going to a planet, getting loot to meet a quota, get back to ship. The element of parts of the level being locked away until you find codes to unlock them is cool. The option to either leave at night and let all the loot respawn, or stay through the night to try to get to the better loot is awesome. I've recently played a lot of, and love, Repo, but there's two aspects of Sketchy's personally enjoy more. One is that you level up your suit so even after you die you're still stronger for the next run. And the other is that all the items are available to purchase as opposed to an rng shop. (Well, some items are locked behind higher more dangerous tiers, but not randomized). Its not without it's glitches, but I don't think I've experienced anything game breaking. Really the only con I have isn't related to the game at all but kind of sadly an aspect of people playing it. People regularly make their games public without any actual intention of strangers joining them, so trying to find a group to play with can be difficult. Mostly you just boop into a game and then quickly get booted out. So you really have to have a group of friends to play with. Hopefully the community grows and then Discord can be a great way to meet people if you're otherwise solo, but you definitely can't expect to join random groups in public servers.
