Developer Soft Rains has officially completed its debut video game, Ambrosia Sky, on Steam following the initial release of Part One in 2025. The first-person science fiction shooter launched on August 8, 2026, combining gameplay styles reminiscent of Metroid Prime and Powerwash Simulator.

The title places players in the role of a worker tasked with cleaning up the aftermath of a deadly fungal contamination, referred to as the Cluster, on an asteroid colony. Through exploring abandoned spaceships and interacting with the remains of residents who refused or failed to evacuate, the narrative tackles the human motivations behind staying during a catastrophe.

While reviewers note that the title occasionally entangles itself in science fiction plot threads, the empathetic premise offers a tender exploration of societal responses to life-threatening crises.
