Sony has officially announced *Mukti*, a powerful new first-person narrative-driven game developed by underDOGS Studio as part of its broader Sony India Hero Project initiative. The title is set to launch on both PlayStation 5 and PC, offering players a deeply moving and thought-provoking experience centered around a critical global issue—human trafficking.
Mukti unfolds within the atmospheric halls of an Indian museum, where players explore intricate corridors filled with stories that reflect the real-world horrors and hidden truths behind human trafficking. According to underDOGS Studio, the game’s design emphasizes empathy, storytelling, and awareness-building through immersive gameplay. Each interaction and discovery is crafted not only to engage but also to educate, spark dialogue, and inspire meaningful change.
In *Mukti*, players embark on a journey of discovery as they navigate the labyrinthine corridors of the museum, uncovering the harrowing truths and hidden narratives behind the scourge of human trafficking. Through rich storytelling and immersive gameplay mechanics, *Mukti* invites players to confront the realities faced by victims and survivors alike, shedding light on this pressing global issue.
Drawing inspiration from authentic narratives and meticulously researched historical contexts, *Mukti* aims to raise awareness, provoke thought, and inspire action. Each interaction within the game is designed to provoke empathy, spark dialogue, and ignite change.
To enhance emotional depth and immersion, underDOGS Studio is collaborating closely with PlayStation to integrate advanced PS5 DualSense controller features such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. These technologies are being finely tuned to deliver nuanced sensory experiences—like subtle vibrations during quiet puzzle-solving moments—bringing players closer to the emotional tone of each scene.
For those planning to play on PC, underDOGS Studio has released the tentative system requirements for *Mukti*. Below are the full specifications:
The Steam version of *Mukti* will feature full controller support, along with achievements and family sharing capabilities, ensuring a seamless and rewarding experience across platforms.
In a recent PlayStation Blog post, Vaibhav Chavan, founder and game director at underDOGS Studio, expressed pride in being selected under the Sony India Hero Project.
“*Mukti* is proud to be part of the prestigious Sony India Hero Project. Being selected for this program not only gave us the fuel to bring our vision to life, but also reaffirmed our belief that Indian stories belong on the world stage.”
“After over a year of working closely with the fantastic folks at Sony, the journey has been nothing short of insightful and full of learning. Now, we’re thrilled to finally give you a glimpse of what we’ve been crafting behind the scenes.”
As part of its ongoing efforts to discover and nurture emerging developers worldwide, Sony continues to expand its Hero Project initiatives beyond India. These programs offer external studios comprehensive development, publishing, marketing, and promotional support. Notable examples include *Lost Soul Aside*, a visually stunning action RPG born out of the China Hero Project.
With *Mukti*, Sony further reinforces its commitment to bringing diverse, culturally significant stories to global audiences—using interactive media as a tool for education, reflection, and social impact.
