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.

Very fun and addictive. Great if you love looting games with monsters, aliens and everything murderry in between. Jump on a ship with your buds, grab random loot and try not to die! Find eggs to get pets! Also can decorate your home base and ship with decor or loot-turn decor. Only done 3x of the maps so far and loving it. Looking forward to it fully releasing next week with the extra content even though we've barely scratched the surface yet.
contracts are very much sketchy
good game
used to love playing this game and it was fun me and my friend was able to go long ways before we failed, the new new 1.0 release is pretty garbage the dev made it way too hard and impossible to enjoy like why does the pew pew react to me picking up stuff when he once didn't give a damn, and the oxygen drains way too fast, to think of it it drains 5x faster then it used to be not allowing me or anyone to even continue to go further in level 2 its so bad its a nearly impossible to complete to the point me and my friend who once praised this game for being good and I mean really good, to now really sh!t, its just way to hard, its a shame this was once good now it breaks my heart to never wanna play this game ever again until changes are made to make it enjoyable and beatable!
Fun game to play with Friends, and should feel familiar if you've already played REPO or Lethal Company. Interesting level tier mechanics, fun little customisable ship and the progression tree is well thought out, if maybe a little basic. Total time before feeling repetitive : About 7 days.
Highly recommend this game for a co-op loot collection game. Lots of character progression and customisation of your appearance and an apartment. A true labour of love from the one developer. Well done!
The Newest Update Causes Myself to no longer want to play the game. First off had removed the only other world from being able to be played on tier 1 which in retrospect is a constant repeat of the same thing until you can build up to get better weapons and such to progress to higher tiers loses attraction and becomes boring. The next big issue is no longer being able to upgrade your suit while in game for things such as damage, oxygen, health, and so on; with that being as it currently is how would anyone be able to achieve the quota which had also changed to the max on tier one instead of starting with 200 and progressing up if they're just starting out? Lastly The oxygen depletion even though i have while played applied quite a few points into my oxygen to be able to proceed in security level 2 areas; the way the oxygen depletes as fast as it does now i no longer can even reach further loot crates half way without needing to turn around so i no longer can get the code for security level 3. With this being said the game is no longer fun for me just more irritating and annoying. Possibly in the future when changes are made to fix these issues it might be worth playing again but as it currently stands i personally would not recommend to anyone that i game with. I will still give the game a chance with future updates and checkout to see if anything has improved but as of right now i am not a fan.
This game has really come along, I love the update, the maps have expanded and is much welcomed form when the game launched into EA. My Ships cockpit is covered with plushies and I still need to find more of them. The game i think is far more enjoyable than it was before, not that it wasn't already. This is only a solo dev and has created this much already I hope he continues to support the game even after launch. And if he has any other games he plans for to create, kudos to him because I trust him for sticking it out with this game, I would buy to support another game of his if he decides to develop whole new game!
I can't get enough of playing this game, but really the wonderful graphics and sounds keep me coming back for more. All the best to Forsakenhalo for this magnificent creation!
yeeee
