Ambrosia Sky's second act is a compelling closer for the sci-fi game

Ambrosia Sky is a truly special game, and one that I hope is not hindered by its two-part release. 

The first installment of Ambrosia Sky dropped in 2025, and even without a conclusion, it was clear that developer Soft Rains had created something unique. After playing the second part, I do feel like the story is best consumed in one sprint of play sessions. But I also understand the economic factors that lead to that decision. The game was originally to be released in three parts, but Soft Rains changed course to just two (which I think was the right call). Ambrosia Sky’s second half continues the momentum, and tells an achingly beautiful story over the course of its campaign.

I play as Dalia, a one-time resident of a space colony called the Cluster. Dalia’s step-mother,  Hale, ran the station, and even though Dalia had friends and a girlfriend, the familial tension eventually led her to leave the Cluster entirely. She signed up with the Scarabs, a religious order with scientific methods, seeking immortality through something called the Ambrosia Project. The Scarabs arrive after crises hit, taking DNA from the bodies they find and contributing it to the greater whole.

The Cluster wasn’t exactly a five-star resort during the best of times, and after an exo-fungus grows out of control and consumes the population, it’s even more oppressive to explore. Different strains of fungus have sprung up around the various levels Dalia explores, and they each carry their own risks — electrical damage, poisonous spores, or extreme heat. Dalia is equipped with a spray gun and a tether from the first-person perspective, and she’s powerwashing her way towards the truth of what happened here.
