Ambrosia Sky is a first-person sci-fi “clean-’em-up” that weaves a haunting tale of humanity’s fight for survival. Players take on the role of Dalia, a deep-space disaster specialist dispatched to her home, The Cluster, a crumbling space colony in the rings of Saturn. Her mission: clean up an unpredictable alien fungus contamination, research its strange origins, and lay the colony’s many victims to rest. Blending innovative action with intimate themes like death positivity and survivor’s guilt, Ambrosia Sky asks the player to contemplate the symbiotic relationship between humankind and nature.
Key Features:
-
Cleanse the Contamination. Ambrosia Sky’s unique gameplay blends FPS action with meditative cleaning. Cleanse alien fungus with your chemical sprayer, harvest its fruit, and upgrade your gear to survive the spreading crisis.
-
Discover an Alien Ecosystem. Each species of alien fungus has unique behaviors and properties – some explode, others electrify, and some will even hunt you down.
-
Research and Update Your Equipment. Craft new ammo types that mimic the abilities of fungus you encounter. Upgrade your sprayer’s efficiency, create new spray types, or enhance your tether to better navigate and explore the unstable gravity fields of the colony.
-
Navigate Zero-G Environments. Traverse treacherous pockets of unstable gravity throughout the Cluster. Use your tether to grab objects, uncover hidden corners of the colony, and explore environments where unpredictable fluctuations in gravity can change direction and strength at any time.
-
Lay the Dead to Rest. Seek out the tragic victims of the crisis and lay them to rest in poignant scenes that unravel the mystery of what happened and why.
"With Ambrosia Sky, we're crafting something that feels totally unique while still being grounded in lessons learned from games we love, as well as some of the games we've helped create in our careers," said Joel Burgess, Soft Rains Studio Head. "The result is a game that could only be made by this team, at this moment, and we can't wait to share that with players who are ready for something fresh."
"I'm really excited about Ambrosia Sky - the team has worked hard on making a special game about cleaning up after death, and the care that surrounds those acts," said Kaitlin Tremblay, Narrative Director at Soft Rains. "This game is representative of everybody who worked on it, who contributed to its particular identity, and I'm so proud of what we've made together as a team."
Soft Rains is also excited to announce a co-development partnership with Blackbird Interactive (Hardspace: Shipbreaker), who will further bolster Soft Rains’ veteran team, empowering them to deliver a unique and evocative sci-fi adventure with Ambrosia Sky.
“Partnering with Soft Rains to support Ambrosia Sky was a no-brainer,” said Rory McGuire, Blackbird Interactive’s President and Chief Creative Officer. “Our shared passion for impactful sci-fi storytelling with striking artistic vision was immediately evident. We’re honored to support Soft Rains in bringing this story to life.”
