Soft Rains

Soft Rains is a game studio focused on bringing
world-class development experience to our work,
from worldbuilding and memorable storytelling
to immersive gameplay and art.


CORE TEAM

Our team consists of seasoned indie and AAA developers who have worked on beloved games, such as Skyrim, Grindstone, Fallout 3/4, Watch Dogs Legion, A Mortician's Tale, Creature in the Well, Valorant, and Left 4 Dead.

A sci-fi immersive sim about death, cleaning, and acceptance.

Ambrosia Sky is a first-person immersive sim where the only thing standing between you and the answers you seek are treacherous zero-G anomalies, deadly alien fungus with their own unique abilities, and the creeping guilt that maybe if you hadn’t abandoned this place all those years ago, everyone you used to know might still be alive.

CLEANSE THE CONTAMINATION

Ambrosia Sky’s unique gameplay blends rewarding exploration with meditative cleaning. Use your chemical sprayer to cleanse unique strains of deadly fungi, each one trying to burn, electrocute, or trap you. Study their behaviors and harvest their fruiting bodies to craft powerful upgrades, like electrical foam you can use to reroute power to power doors or consoles.

DISCOVER AN ALIEN ECOSYSTEM

The stylized world of Ambrosia Sky is a living ecosystem with both the hostile fungus and the remnants of those who once lived there. Explore a series of environments across a range of mission types, using your tether to traverse unstable gravity fields or reach hidden passages to uncover the mystery of the Cluster.

LAY THE DEAD TO REST

Your mission isn’t purely personal. As part of an enigmatic order of scientists in pursuit of human immortality, you are also tasked with finding victims of the contamination whose DNA can be studied. Find these chosen deceased, perform a sacred ritual to further your research and understand the disaster through the lives of the people destroyed by it.

As a team, we value diverse experiences and opinions and are actively working on nurturing an environment of confidence, maturity, and mutual respect.
