The Chair Game Steam Page Goes Live Ahead of November Release
A store page and trailer turn a premise that reads as a joke into a dated product, and the November window means the game's difficulty and its no-save-point structure will be judged on release rather than on the pitch.

Indie developer YUKIMAHARUNA opened the Steam store page for The Chair Game on October 14, 2026, with a November 2026 release planned for PC. The physics action game has a man ride an office chair from a port up a single mountain path to his home, using keyboard-only controls. The route passes 12 locations, with no save points and documentary-style subtitles.
The route home runs through 12 locations, among them a port, a shopping street, railway tracks, a construction site, an amusement park, a castle, a shrine, a cave, a dam, a hot spring, a volcano, and a sea of clouds. The chair has casters, so it does not stop when the player wants and slopes are hard to climb. Obstacles include rolling drums, watermelons, runaway mamachari bicycles, coaster carts, rice bales, deer, stalactites, geysers, volcanic bombs, and trains.
There are no save points. Falling off the path means climbing again from wherever the player rolled to, while a train hit or a fall into lava restarts the run from the port. Subtitles in a documentary style narrate each failure plainly.
