Solo developer Rooted Elevation has announced that Saraab: Beyond The Veil will launch on November 3, 2026, for Windows PC via Steam.
The Arabian folklore-inspired psychological horror visual novel follows a schoolgirl named Elham as she searches for her kidnapped brother while confronting supernatural threats, family trauma, and powers tied to her bloodline.
Arabian Folklore Meets Psychological Horror
Saraab: Beyond The Veil draws from djinn traditions and folklore associated with the Gulf region and UAE.
Developer Lubna Ahmed uses those influences as the foundation for a family story centered on Elham and the experiences that have shaped her.
As she searches for her brother, Elham faces supernatural creatures alongside manifestations of her own fears and memories.
Your Choices Shape Elham’s Story
Player decisions affect Elham’s path and lead to one of three endings.
Two characters, Elham’s Shadow and Guide, also play major roles in her development, challenging her as she confronts events from her past.
The story focuses on healing alongside its horror elements, with Elham gradually gaining the power to alter reality.
Hand-Drawn Art and Accessibility Features
Saraab: Beyond The Veil uses hand-drawn anime-inspired visuals alongside a soundtrack designed around its psychological horror tone.
The game also uses the Atkinson Hyperlegible font to support players with dyslexia and improve text readability.
Steam Next Fest Demo Arrives October 19
A new Saraab: Beyond The Veil demo will become available October 19 as part of Steam Next Fest: October 2026 Edition.
The full game launches November 3, 2026, for Windows PC via Steam.
