Wheel World begins with Kat, a racer chosen by forces beyond her control. She becomes the conductor of an ancient ritual known as the Great Shift. This rite is important not only for her personal path, but also for maintaining the balance of the entire universe. As she progresses, she will have to participate in races with elite teams, where not only speed and technique are important, but also the ability to establish a connection with those who watch the races from beyond time. In Wheel World, events unfold within a series of competitions that combine racing with ritual action. Each route turns into a platform for performing a key rite. The outcome of the race affects the attitude of mysterious entities towards the heroine, and the resulting modifications are not limited to functionality alone they carry a semantic load.
