Absurd Japan-themed delivery sim Promise Mascot Agency just added a whole bunch of grinding, but don't worry, it's the good, Tony Hawk kind of grinding

Disgraced Yakuza lieutenant Michizane Sugawara crosses a waterway in his modified Kei truck/boat while his severed toe mascot partner sits in the back.

Promise Mascot Agency was already wonderfully weird when it released back in April, so when I saw that its latest update adds Tony Hawk-style grinding tricks into its bizarro Japanophile delivery sim, my instant reaction was, "Oh yes, of course." If anything, I'm surprised the game launched without the ability to propel your van along a steel road barrier in a glorious shower of sparks. Shame on you, Kaizen Game Works, for not thinking of this sooner!

This new ability is part of the deviously named Prepare to Grind update, arriving in the form of an upgrade for your Kei Truck. With the upgrade installed, combining a jump toward a metal fence or a train track with a swift push of the "interact" key will see your van swoop along your railing of choice while waggling two middle fingers in the face of friction.
