Restore a shrine before the Tanuki Festival

Tanuki: Pon's Summer is an indie simulation game following Pon, a well-meaning but somewhat lazy tanuki who works part-time at the Post Office.

With the Tanuki Festival one month away and the local shrine in disrepair, Pon must spend the summer delivering packages, befriending people, and helping prepare the shrine for the celebration.
