• Update 42 - 0.7.1.0 - Balance, New Players Buffs, and T3 Changes - 18 April 2026

  Hi all, this update wraps up the new player experience as well as balancing a bit with the early gameplay with T1 and T2. Additionally, T3 has become a dedicated Hardcore Mode for Level 90 players which it was always intended to be. This means that reaching level 90 and unlocking T3 furniture is now something you can do simply by playing Tier 2 (the normal mode of the game). with the exception that players need to reach higher quotas on Tier 2 in order to push past level 60 and purchase T3 furniture.For those curious, I've made these changes so that all players can experience all of Sketchy's without the need to push into a very difficult mode. The Hardmode Contract is a place for advanced players who simply wish to push their limits and see how far they can get on the hardest difficulty. And with that said, here is what has changed:NEWAdded an Accessibility option for Night Vision Phot…

Fixed an issue where removing items from the Burger Shop Crate just after returning to orbit causes them to disappear to spawn incorrectly. Fixed an inaccessible access crate beneath the landscape in Level 1 Port Sahariss.

• Hotfix 40 - 0.7.0.2 - 9 April 2026

  Update Players that are teleported back to the ship from Sketchy’s Belt or in Orbit whenever another player pilots the ship will not lose their items anymore. Updated the visual design of the Black-Market Vendor area off Port Sahariss. It is now a small archeological-themed spot that is consistent with the map theme and makes it easier to find. Updated the Black-Market Vendor area on Sketchy Wonderland and Port Aeriss to make it easier to find. XP gained on T1 has been increased to ensure new players gain a certain amount of levels before reaching the starting eligibility to sign Tier 2. FIXES Fixed an issue where Player Pets would not spawn into the Apartment correctly on login. Fixed an issue that could cause Jelloti in a Jar and some corpses to be uninteractable on login. Fixed an area where players could still be knocked off the level 2 elevator in Port Lumin. Fixed an issue where t…

• Hotfix 39 - 0.7.0.1 - 7 April 2026

The Freezer can now be stored away for Hosts. It can be relocated by clients. The Air Purifier can now only be activated outside of the ship.

• Sketchy's Roadmap to Full Release - 16 March 2026

  The Remaining Roadmap Hey everyone! It's been a couple of months sense the last update which brought some great quality of life and major changes to the game that helped streamline the overall Sketchy's gameplay and make the player experience more intuitive. I've done a stream or two sense then discussing with my community the complete roadmap to Full Release and thought it would be good to sum it all up in a compact post here on Steam to get everyone up to speed outside of my streams and discord. So here it is, what remains of Sketchy's Contract.Keep in mind that I will not be going into the complete details of these features but simply highlighting them so you have an idea. The full details will be posted with the content release itself.Last Major Update - 0.7.0.0This update aims to drive Sketchy's into completion by hitting all the areas that don't feel as deeply developed as others.…

• Update 40 - 0.6.3.0 - Unstuck Button! Pause Game on Solo Mode and fixes. - 12 January 2026

  Hi all, Just another update to continue polishing and adding those final touches to Sketchy's. Alas, the long awaited "Unstuck Button" is here!NEWAdded Unstuck feature. Unstuck can be performed once a minute and will relocate your player to a nearby area.Added Pause feature for Solo Players. Pressing escape will now pause the game on solo gameplay.While healing, a healing buff icon now appears next to the player health bar to indicate they are gaining health.

Players should now be automatically relocated to the ship should the situation occur.The Flashlight keybind is now displ…

• Update 39 - 0.6.2.0 - Gathering Update, QOL, and Polishing - 7 January 2026

  I hope everyone was able to get their Winter Cookies and some holiday rewards! With the Winter Event concluded, its time to focus all my efforts on Sketchy's Full Release. Over the coming months, you can expect to see hotfixes and quality of life patches to help create a successful launch. In this update, I've updated the Gathering System based on player feedback and improved other things as well. here's the break down:UPDATESGathering Bar has been redesigned based on Player Feedback. There is no longer a separate bar to swap to. Instead, gathering items are automatically switched to the moment you interact with the appropriate gatherable. For example, walking up to an Herb while holding a Flamethrower and interacting with it will automatically equip a hedge knife and begin harvesting. This will make gathering extremely convenient and seamless. I hope everyone enjoys this change and can…

• Update 38 - 0.6.1.0 - Revive Changes, T3 crates Store Substances, and fixes! - 29 December 2025

  The last update of the year! With it, I bring a revamped Revive System that turns medical generators into infinitely self reviving systems. That's right, you only need to install 1 med gen to revive as many times and as many people as you want. Not only that, players AUTOMATICALLY begin reviving the moment they die meaning that players don't even need to go back to the med bay to press the button! I personally love this change because as a Solo and Duo player myself, I want to spend as little time spectating as possible or waiting for a friend to get me. The more time I can spend in-game looting and killing monsters, the happier I am.UPDATESI’ve increased the amount of Cookies granted from the Bag of Gifts looted from the Greed Who Stole Christmas from 3 to 10 for the remainder of the winter event, so go farm those cookies before it ends!Increased chance of getting toy train/lantern fro…

• Hotfix 38 - 0.6.0.1 - 20 December 2025

  Hi all! Thank you so much for all the amazing comments and feedback regarding 0.6.0.0. It truly means a lot to me, and I can't wait to bring more great content to you in the new year. I'm extending the Winter Event to January 6th so hopefully more people will have a bit more time to get their hands on the exclusive Winter Event stuff. The New Sketchy Wonderland Map is permanent, so don't worry if you miss out on the event. Anyway, here's what I've addressed so far: UPDATES Updated capsule storage logic to help prevent the issue where placed capsules sometimes reduce in value. Shrink Ray is now a permanent effect on players. It can be cancelled by using the crouch key. The Storage Rack on the Ship near the freezer can now be moved or stored allowing you to have even more space and freedom to decorate/organize your ship. Added a new Storage rack Furniture piece to T1 which is identical to…

  Hi all, its that time of the year again - Sketchy Christmas! This is a HUGE update that brings in so much feedback from the community while also bringing new stuff you never saw coming! Let's jump into it!Before you read through this giant update I just wanted to highlight the importance of everything here. This update focuses on QOL, Player Progression, and Difficulty Balance to get Sketchy's to a place where it feels "right". Before I go to Full Release its important to me to consider all the little things (the things that really matter) from the community and try to tweak as many of them as possible to best reflect the experience of the player.NEWNew Map: Sketchy Wonderland - this is a permanent new map added to the snow planet that is winter holiday themed. Ride a sleigh with reindeers between security levels, fight the greed who stole christmas and return to Krampus's Cabin where y…

  NEWNew Skin – Elizabeth! That's right! Many of you requested an Elizabeth skin and now she's here! You'll need 1500 Cosmetic Coins to get her which means if you haven't dipped your toes into Tier 2 contracts, now's the time.

• Hotfix 37 - 0.5.0.3 - 25 October 2025

  Hey all, had to push a quick fix for the haunted house so that everyone could continue experiencing it. Fixed a few smaller things while I was at it. FIXES Fixed the player collision width preventing the narrow entrance and corridor in haunted house from being walked through. Fixed an issue where Wraith Corpse was blocking interaction so if an item was underneath it, that item could not be picked up. Fixed an issue where player dead bodies were phasing through Hollow Manor/ Dark Wood wagon transports. Fixed an issue where the Ghost Investigation computer was showing 1PM on guessing correctly rather than 2PM. Fixed a few spawn points where Miss Nibbles was appearing in an incorrect location. Fixed a few spawn points where Moro appeared in an incorrect location. Fixed a few spawn points where Crucifx appeared in an incorrect location.

• Hotfix 36 - 0.5.0.2 - 25 October 2025

  Updates Added the degrees Celsius symbol on the Thermometer screen. Added an “You’ve Arrived” message when the ship finishes its landing sequence to help guide new players on what steps to take next. Made the Hollow Manor bathroom easier to find and more intuitive to navigate. The Ghost Investigation Journal should now work with Controller. The Ghost Investigation Computer should now work with Controller. Reworked EMF spawn times from interactions to persist longer, especially when players have a ghost that only interacts when players aren’t in the house. Adjusted Mannequin locations to be located primarily in rooms rather than open areas where evidence is not found. This will help make the objective for speaking to mannequins more intuitive to prevent players from speaking to aesthetically placed mannequins rather than reactive ones. Updated the description of new haunted house plush t…

• Hotfix 35 - 0.5.0.1 - 22 October 2025
