Indian developer Underdogs Studio has revealed the gameplay for Mukti, its narrative-driven adventure game in development for PC and PS5. The game is set in mid 2000s-India and tasks players with exploring a museum and discovering clues about the past. Mukti is being developed as part of Sony's India Hero Project and is currently available to wishlist on Steam and PlayStation Store.
Mukti will put players in the shoes of Arya, a young woman investigating the disappearance of her grandfather. Inspired by narrative-driven adventure games like Firewatch and Gone Home, the indie title is played from the first-person perspective as players explore a sprawling museum in Mumbai and piece together clues to uncover the mystery behind his disappearance.
The first-look trailer features pre-alpha gameplay footage captured on a PS5. In the trailer, the protagonist can be seen walking around the premises of the museum, picking up pamphlets and clues and interacting with the environment.
“Being a part of Sony India Hero Project didn't just give us fuel to bring our vision to life, it also reaffirmed our belief that Indian stories belong on the world stage,” game director Underdogs Studios founder and CEO Vaibhav Chavan said in a statement. “Now, we're thrilled to finally give you a glimpse of what we've been crafting behind the scenes.”
