Individual developer Batuhan Ceyhan announced 'Muhit,' a story-focused adventure game set in a fictional 1990s Istanbul. Players explore the underworld, search for missing family, and engage in legal and illegal jobs. The game features low-poly PS1-era graphics with weather and lighting. It will launch in Early Access on PC (Steam) for about six months to a year, with full release adding more content. Release date is not yet set.
Development on 'Muhit' has been underway since at least February 2026, according to the developer's YouTube channel. The game uses low-poly graphics reminiscent of the PS1 era, but with weather changes and textured lighting to create a realistic cityscape. Players can buy cars from used dealers and use threats or persuasion to lower prices.
The game system is reportedly complete, with Early Access focused on visual improvements and player feedback. The full version will add more detailed 3D models and new areas. The release date is not yet clear, but the Steam page indicates an Early Access launch first.
