Sony has unveiled an exciting new game titled "Mukti," developed by underDOGS Studio as part of its Sony India Hero Project. This first-person exploration game, set in an Indian museum, tackles a poignant and critical social issue: human trafficking. Players will navigate the museum's intricate corridors, uncovering the dark realities and hidden stories behind this global scourge. Through compelling narratives and immersive gameplay, Mukti aims to shed light on the experiences of victims and survivors, fostering empathy and sparking meaningful dialogue.
The game draws from real-life stories and meticulously researched historical contexts, striving to raise awareness and inspire action. Each interaction in Mukti is crafted to provoke thought and encourage change. underDOGS Studio is working closely with PlayStation to integrate the PS5 DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, enhancing the experience with subtle vibrations during quiet puzzle-solving moments.
In addition to the PlayStation 5 version, Mukti will also be available on PC. Here are the tentative system requirements:
