About This Game

Hello friends and enemies! Zaehbet, Draad is a mystery and puzzle based visual novel centered around the translation of a fictional language. The entire story is provided to you in a carefully built and fleshed out language, and it is up to you to use context clues, scattered notes, and your last two remaining brain cells to understand the plot, make crucial decisions, and build your own dialogue responses.

You are born into the world as a heavily injured amnesiac whose only company to help you is an amputee cyborg with a missing arm. And she has a concerning number of bodies in her closet.

Key features include:

  • A drag and drop sentence builder to actively respond to the story

  • A dictionary to track encountered words and jot down any notes that you wish

  • Four unique endings dependent on your choices and fluency

  • Unknowable amounts of lore behind the scenes

Now that you’ve made it this far, I’m assuming that you will be interested in the demo, which will go live October 8th, 2026 in preparation for Steam Next Fest.
