Our take on Sketchy's Contract
The defining choice is whether to remain on a planet during the Night Shift: staying exposes the team to stronger enemies and a possible wipe in exchange for more valuable loot.
What is Sketchy's Contract?
Sketchy’s Contract is a cooperative science-fiction horror game focused on scavenging in an unexplained asteroid region.
Groups visit unusual worlds to complete assignments, battle extraterrestrial creatures, collect valuables, and bring planetary resources back to Sketchy. Players can uncover buried treasure, extract minerals, gather plants, unlock sealed supply containers, and transport defeated creatures. Collected loot grants experience, and Suit Modifier points can improve factors including vitality, offensive strength, endurance, and resource-gathering skill. Crews may remain after dark to pursue better rewards while facing more dangerous foes, or depart to avoid losing the team. Additional diversions include managing a burger restaurant, trying arcade activities, following an optional Memory Fragment storyline, and customizing an apartment and spacecraft.
