Download the Steam demo
Open the TANUKI: Pon’s Summer Steam page and choose Download Demo. Steam is the confirmed demo download route covered here.
How long is the demo?
The publisher estimates two to three hours across the first three in-game days. Exploring, practicing BMX tricks and retrying activities can change your playtime.
The developer’s August 27 explanation puts the ending after Wednesday and the shrine-building tutorial. Kit’s shrine lesson ends with Building Bridges, followed by the demo’s thank-you screen when leaving along the main path.
Does demo progress carry over?
The developer and publisher have announced that progress from the demo’s first three days will carry into the full game. The carryover announcement does not confirm a manual save-file procedure or cross-platform transfers.
Fishing and drumming in the June demo
In the June 22, 2026 developer reply, fishing and drumming were outside that demo and occurred later in the full game. Keep that June demo scope in mind when looking for those activities.
