Sketch's Contact

Welcome to the Sketchy's Contract Website!

About the Game

Sketchy's Contract is a co-op horror looting game set in outer space where you, a traveler, have caught wind of an exciting advertisement promising a grand adventure with great rewards. Your duties will be simple but fun! Whether alone or with friends, you'll be able to jump into hyperspace and travel to exotic planets, farm different materials, fight alien lifeforms, and search for scattered loot. The catch? You'll be expected to collect enough scrap in a 3-day period to meet the quota set by your contract. Sketchy's Contract gets a bit vague about what happens if you don't meet the quota...

Early Access

Why Early Access?

“While Sketchy's Contract is in a playable state, I believe that it is still far from its true potential. With that said, it makes sense to release the game in Early Access, allowing it to receive player feedback and criticism that will help it grow and mold into the product it has the potential to become.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It’s hard to say exactly when the game would exit Early Access as it depends heavily on how well received and supported the game is, however, I would not want it to be in Early Access for longer than 2 years at best.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Because Sketchy's Contract is set in outer space, it has such much more to offer when it comes to planetary travel, player progression, and story. I would like the full version to be released with newer features like new planets, new items, new cosmetics, and even lore! However, that is a planned future that depends on the game’s success.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Sketchy's Contract is considered playable with 6 planets to explore, 8 items to unlock, and infinite re-playability as there is no current "endgame". It’s important to keep in mind that the game is NOT Bug-Free nor is a complete stable build. Being Early Access, players are expected to encounter issues and hopefully work with me to make the game better.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“During Early Access, Sketchy's Contract will most likely be included in appropriate Steam Sales Events. As far as post-Early Access, I have no plans for changing the price as of right now.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“In addition to steam community discussions, there will be an official discord that players will be able to join where they will be free to share bug-reports, suggestions, new players tips, and more. The Discord will be the primary means of communication between me and the community.”

Features

Atmospheric Planets: Sketchy's Contract has 6 unique planets for you to explore, ranging from an underwater site to a volcanic wasteland, to a frigid snowy facility. It’s quite the Adventure indeed!

The Contract: Sketchy's Contract asks that you collect enough scrap from any planet of your choice to meet a specific quota within a 3-day span. Do that and you'll be rewarded!

Your Suit: Your suit will come equipped with an Oxygen reservoir that will deplete when not in your ship or a building, then restoring when inside. Your suit also comes with a built-in flashlight with battery life.

Scrap: Scrap can be found in a variety of ways:
- - - Exploration - the easiest method requires you to search buildings for access crates. Most doors are locked behind security levels which you'll be able to either hack or gain direct access to via access codes found in access crates that can be entered into your ship's computer.
    - Gathering - gathering tools are used to farm the planet’s materials. You can dig with a shovel at designated buried sites, mine veins for ore, and even harvest herbs with a hedge knife!
    - Hunting - for the bravest travelers, you can use different weapons to kill creatures and even loot their corpse to use as quota! Just don't get killed in the process, of course.
    - Restricted Areas- Sketchy things were being conducted on planets. If you gain access to Research Labs, you can find special alien eggs that can either be turned in for quota or taken to an egg collector at the burger shop.
