On June 8, CRITICAL REFLEX released a new trailer for TANUKI: Pon's Summer, developed by Denkiworks, and confirmed a demo will launch on Steam on June 15. The demo lets players experience the first three days of the game, taking on the role of a tanuki named Pon who delivers mail while performing BMX tricks. The full game spans four cities modeled after Kyoto, Aomori, Sapporo, and Beppu. Players deliver packages of varying size and weight, combining them efficiently to stay within capacity. Money earned funds repairs and decorations for a grand shrine, which must be restored for a festival at summer's end. Building relationships with townspeople unlocks activities like baseball and sumo wrestling, which yield items and rewards for the shrine.
