India’s New PS5 Game ‘Mukti’ Exposes Dark Museum Secrets

Sony PlayStation has officially dropped the trailer for ‘Mukti’, a first-person narrative exploration game developed in India. Created by Mumbai-based underDOGS Studio, Mukti is part of Sony’s India Hero Project and is set to launch on PlayStation 5 and PC.

What is Mukti About?

Mukti is not your typical video game. Set inside an intricately detailed Indian museum, the game explores the harrowing and often overlooked issue of human trafficking in India. The developers describe Mukti as “a journey of discovery, redemption, and the power of unseen stories.”

Players take on the role of Arya, who returns to her grandfather’s museum after his mysterious disappearance amidst criminal accusations. What she finds is a vandalized and abandoned legacy, one filled with secrets that question her beliefs and reveal a hidden past tied to both myth and reality.

“delves deeply into a critical social issue that demands our attention: human trafficking.” says underDOGS Studio.

A Culturally Rich, Story-Driven Experience

The game’s narrative dives into ancient Indian history and social commentary, challenging players to uncover truths hidden in tradition and time. The museum setting, filled with historical artifacts and puzzles, becomes a symbolic stage for exploring themes of truth, justice, and cultural heritage.

Optimized for PS5: DualSense Features and Immersive Gameplay

Mukti is being optimized for the PlayStation 5, with full support for DualSense haptics and adaptive triggers. These enhancements promise a more immersive puzzle-solving experience by delivering subtle vibrations and tactile feedback, heightening the emotional and narrative impact of the game.
