About Wheelchair Simulator
We created this game to help real-world wheelchair users here, in Ukraine, where accessible infrastructure is still something to be desired. Profits from the game are donated to charity!
Have I seen this game before?
This is a non-VR version of the «Wheelchair Simulator VR». Put yourself in other people’s shoes (or, in this particular case, a wheelchair) even without buying the expensive VR helmet!
So what's new?
We completely remade the controls and made the game even more challenging. Also we added new mechanics, unexpected obstacles, and a whole new bonus level, but the heart of the game - its true story, remained intact.

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the wheelchair simulator's authentic representation of navigating an inaccessible world, with engaging narration that draws from genuine lived experience, though opinions vary on whether it effectively educates versus simply providing challenging platforming. Common complaints include frustrating glitches that send players through floors or get them stuck under maps, repetitive controls that can strain joints, and gameplay scenarios that don't feel realistic to actual disability experiences, with some feeling the game prioritizes difficulty over accessibility messaging.
Can confirm this is the most accurate simulator of the wheelchair experience available, as a disabled person myself. A friend bought this for me as a gag gift and I was expecting a terrible (if fun for a moment) comedy game. The game is actually a pretty well made little wheelchair platformer with a decently interesting narration throughout about navigating an inaccessible world that clearly comes from someone with experience.10 found this helpful
Not really what I thought it was. Thought it was a game to teach people about accessibility and what its like being disabled in an abled world. But this isnt like that at all. Its more like "put this person through experiences that literally no one is ever in and die a lot". Being in a wheelchair has never put me in the situation where I had to avoid or ram a million dressers that were dumped out of moving vans. Also to teach people about accessibility, it would help if the game was more accessible. Having to constantly tap the forward button over and over is very hard on my joints. I wont ask for a refund because of the charity thing, but if it werent for that, i would get a refund.6 found this helpful
i'd like to say that i am a person who has used a wheelchair for movement around this earth my whole life and i freaking love this game. it recreates the feeling of traveling the inaccessible world so well. yeah, it's as glitchy game, sometimes a harmless blade of grass will flip your chair over and now you're on the ground... but the world is like that sometimes. you are guided through your journey by the goofy but serious story told by Dmytro Schebetyuk. his narration is what kept me trying the levels over and over. he has a humor about him that really sucked me in. it is a tough game at times but then, the longer you play it, you start to realize there's a faster way to do most levels. this got me to begin speedrunning wheelchair simulator. after a while i started to wonder if some of the glitchyness was completely intended and shortcuts were thought about. i wish they'd release the "coming soon" levels. great game. love it. try it out! p.s. if you're interested in what a speedrun of wheelchair simulator looks like, check out, warning it is spoilers if you haven't beaten it yet: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/9591513045 found this helpful
In several levels you'll glitch through the floor and fall under the map for no damn reason.1 found this helpful
