The Internet will try and tell you Sony is only interested in big-budget single player titles and live-service efforts, but dig a little deeper and you'll find the company closely working with indie teams to make their games a reality. The China Hero Project and India Hero Project are two of those initiatives, and the latter just showcased a new game in its lineup.

Mukti, from underDOGS studio, is being produced under the India Hero Project guidance from PlayStation. A project made from "years of sweat, love, and relentless passion", it's about heritage, discovery, and redemption, set within an Indian museum. The PS Store wishlist page shares the game will confront the social issue of human trafficking.

In a PlayStation Blog post, founder and game director Vaibhav Chavan said he's proud to be part of the India Hero Project, as it reaffirmed the studio's belief that Indian stories deserve to be heard by everyone. "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."

Mukti will utilise a 4K resolution and support all the features of the PS5 DualSense controller. Here's the narrative setup from Chavan: "Following her grandfather’s mysterious disappearance amid accusations of heinous crimes, Arya returns to find the museum she owned vandalized and abandoned. Through the silent echoes of the past, she pieces together a narrative of heritage, compassion and obscured truths, questioning everything she knew about his existence. What truths lie in her grandfather’s museum?"

If you like the look of Mukti, then the team asks you to wishlist the game on the PS Store. "As an indie studio from India, every wishlist counts. It tells the world, especially platforms and publishers, that there’s a growing hunger for Indian stories told through high-quality, console-level games. It pushes boundaries and opens doors, not just for Mukti, but for a whole generation of Indian developers."
