Sony has announced a new PlayStation 5 and PC title, Mukti, as part of its Sony India Hero Project. Developed by underDOGS Studio, this first-person narrative-driven experience takes players through an Indian museum while addressing the urgent global issue of human trafficking.
A Story That Demands Attention
The studio describes Mukti as a game that explores a critical social issue—human trafficking—through immersive storytelling. Players will navigate the museum’s intricate halls, uncovering hidden truths and confronting the harsh realities faced by victims and survivors. The game aims to raise awareness, encourage empathy, and inspire meaningful discussions.

The developers have worked closely with PlayStation to optimise the game for the PS5’s DualSense controller. Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers will enhance moments of quiet puzzle-solving, adding a tactile layer to the experience.
