Sony has announced an exciting new addition to its gaming lineup with Mukti, a first-person story exploration game developed by underDOGS Studio. As part of the Sony India Hero Project, Mukti is set to launch on PlayStation 5 and PC, inviting players into a thought-provoking journey through an Indian museum.

The game tackles the critical social issue of human trafficking, providing players with a narrative-driven experience that uncovers the harrowing truths behind this global problem.

The game aims to raise awareness, provoke thought, and inspire action through meticulously researched historical contexts and authentic narratives.

For PlayStation 5 players, Mukti will leverage the haptics and adaptive triggers of the DualSense controller. underDOGS Studio has worked closely with Sony to fine-tune these features, enhancing the experience with subtle vibrations during quiet puzzle-solving moments.
