Denkiworks is an indie studio developing TANUKI: Pon's Summer, a game about a mail-delivering tanuki on a BMX, with a new demo coming June 15 on Steam.
Denkiworks, an indie studio, is developing TANUKI: Pon's Summer, a game that blends delivery puzzles, BMX movement, and town-building across real-world Japanese settings. The game was shown at BitSummit PUNCH in late May 2026, where an updated build featured a mail-delivering tanuki on a BMX in a Kyoto-inspired town. Developer Taku Arioka explained that the BMX evolved from a classic bicycle to enable tricks and shortcuts, and the game now includes more activities, improved navigation, and greater mission freedom. The game has been delayed to 2026.
On June 11, 2026, publisher CRITICAL REFLEX released a new trailer for the game 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. The demo gives players a substantial early look at the game's mechanics and setting.
