I finished Ambrosia Sky: Act One by @softrains.bsky.social , and I can confirm that I had a great time. 🖖
The lore is interesting, the story is moving, the gameplay is very fun (halfway between a narrative and meditative game, a washing game, and System Shock 😁), and the art direction is fresh.

I had a great time talking with two of the devs on @softrains.bsky.social from Soft Rains (Joel Burgess and Kaitlin Tremblay). We discussed it being a "sad cleaning sim" but also how it draws inspiration from diasporic communities and the grief of coming home.

As 2025 winds to a close, we say goodbye to a few members of our team whose work was instrumental in bringing Ambrosia Sky: Act One to life.
Each of these folks is an incredible talent. Though we've made the difficult decision to part ways for now, I'd be lucky to work with any of them again.
