You’re not here to clear the site. You’re here to get paid—and get out.

Scrapjacks is a cooperative skirmish game about deep space salvage crews searching unstable wrecks, abandoned stations, and failed facilities until the risk outweighs the reward.

Pressure builds. Hostiles emerge. Hazards multiply. Mistakes compound. Every hull is a payday. But staying too long gets crews killed.

Clearing a site is never the objective. Getting out on your own terms is.


Scrapjacks features:

 Crew-focused cooperative play
 Procedural escalation
 Hostile environments
 Extraction-centered objectives

Scrapjacks supports both one-off jobs and optional extended operations. Crews are never required to push deeper into a site, and each Level is treated as its own contracted operation.

This isn’t a game about heroics or conquest. It’s about competent crews making hard calls in places that don’t forgive mistakes.
