Sony has unveiled a new PlayStation 5 and PC title named Mukti, secured through its Sony India Hero Project initiative.

Mukti is a first-person narrative exploration game set within an Indian museum. Developer underDOGS Studio states the game "takes a profound look at a crucial social issue requiring our focus: human trafficking."

Watch the gameplay trailer below:

Here is the official description:

In Mukti, players begin a journey of revelation, navigating the museum's intricate halls to uncover the grim truths and concealed stories behind human trafficking. Through compelling narrative and immersive gameplay, Mukti challenges players to face the realities endured by victims and survivors, highlighting this urgent worldwide crisis.

Inspired by true accounts and thoroughly researched historical settings, Mukti seeks to increase awareness, stimulate reflection, and encourage action. Every in-game moment is crafted to foster empathy, initiate conversation, and drive meaningful change.

underDOGS Studio mentioned it is collaborating closely with PlayStation to optimize haptic feedback and adaptive triggers—core features of the PS5 DualSense controller—to "heighten the experience, such as with subtle vibrations during quiet puzzle-solving sequences."
