Critical Reflex is publishing two upcoming PC games: the delivery-and-BMX adventure Tanuki: Pon's Summer, which will get a new demo on June 15, and the roguelite cooking game SATED, announced at the PC Gaming Show 2026.
Critical Reflex has two titles in active promotion as of June 2026. The publisher released a new trailer for Denkiworks' Tanuki: Pon's Summer and announced a demo arriving June 15 on Steam. The demo covers the first three days of the game, where players deliver mail as a tanuki named Pon, perform BMX tricks, restore a shrine, and build relationships with townspeople across four Japanese cities.
Four days earlier, during the PC Gaming Show 2026 stream on June 8, Critical Reflex and developer Forest Reges announced the roguelite cooking game SATED. The game is coming to PC via Steam with Japanese subtitle support. In SATED, players partner with a cursed refrigerator that dispenses ingredients such as organs, industrial waste, live insects, batteries, and human eyeballs. Players must cook dishes to satisfy monsters with incomprehensible tastes while descending through a randomly generated dungeon in a decaying giant structure. The balance and order of ingredients matter: if the procedure is wrong, the dish may become moldy, cursed, or sentient. If a customer is not satisfied, the player character becomes the ingredient instead.
Forest Reges previously worked on LiDAR Exploration Program, which holds a 90% positive rating from 273 Steam reviews. The Steam store page for SATED lists the game as coming soon. Critical Reflex's two announcements show the publisher backing distinct genres-a whimsical delivery adventure and a grotesque cooking roguelite-with concrete release windows still unstated for both titles.
