"Dalia is a death cleaner. Death cleaning, as we know it, is the process of sanitizing and tidying the spaces where people take their final breaths, sometimes long after their bodies have begun to decompose. It's a job here on Earth in the year 2025, but Dalia's version of death cleaning takes place on the rings of Saturn in a distant future filled with space travel, interplanetary colonization and devastating disease outbreaks."
"In this scenario, death cleaning involves spraying chemicals over bulging piles of otherworldly contamination and avoiding their defense mechanisms, which can cause fires, explosions and electrical interference. Dalia learns from the alien material as she cleans, harvesting fruit from fungal mounds to create new options for her sprayer. She also listens to the last words of the dead. Ambrosia Sky is the first game from independent studio Soft Rains and its story trailer landed on Wednesday."
"As a Scarab with The Ambrosia Project, her job is to clear out the alien fungus, research its origins and perform Death Rites on the corpses she encounters. Scarabs operate in the shadowy spaces between science and mysticism, and The Ambrosia Project's goal is to discover a cure for mortality among the stars. Death Rites involve hearing the deceased person's Last Will and cremating their body with specialized spores, adding their DNA to The Ambrosia Project for further research."
