Indie game publisher Critical Reflex and developer Denkiworks have released a free demo for their upcoming game, Tanuki: Pon's Summer. We were kinda bummed to hear back in February that the game wouldn't be released until near the end of 2025, but as we get closer, we're starting to see more of the game. The demo will give you a chance to play a small selection of the title and give you a chance to see what its like being a tanuki delivering the mail on your bike. Enjoy the latest trailer here as well before playing the demo on Steam.
