Bad news, you’re in debt to The Government. Good news, you will gamble to pay it off!
SCRATCH CO. is a roguelike deckbuilder that has you acquiring, upgrading, and playing scratch tickets throughout your run in order to meet increasing quotas.
Use Lucky Charms to gain various bonuses on cash out, and gain power from other systems such as your store's Products and company Loyalty Rewards.
Become SCRATCH CO.’s #1 Employee!
Lucky you! You were slated to be executed but SCRATCH CO. took pity and sponsored your debt, so instead of death, you get a job.
You now own a Scratch N’ Gas. In fact, you woke up here. Your job is to scratch tickets and get further and further into runs which pay off more and more debt the higher your score is. Use Big Bux earned to upgrade your store.
Synergize Lucky Charms
Lucky Charms add Multipliers, Score, and More to your cash outs, making those increasing quotas easier to achieve. Find Tickets that fit your build, empower them with Stickers, and make SCRATCH CO. a bunch of Bux! You’ll get a small cut, of course...
Every winning scratched pays off Debt and earns you Big Bux, the meta currency where you can purchase upgrades for your gas station that affect future runs.
Better Store = Better Runs
Products that you buy are consumable and give buffs to runs. Eat food, slurp drinks, and consume tobacco products, each giving a different bonus during your run, helping you shape your build before you start.
Sell those products in the drive-thru to make a few extra Bux if you’re short, but gambling is always the best way to make money.
Upgrades and Unlocks Everywhere
Buy bigger Coins to scratch more, unlock Lucky Charms by completing tasks, buy Stickers to upgrade tickets, and purchase new Ticket Packs to open during runs. Each run is fresh, but subsequent runs become easier the more you unlock.
So welcome home, Scratcher.
You can leave when your shift ends. Your shift ends when the Debts are paid. No rush.
