The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What players say

Players describe Thunder Ronin as a tough boss-rush game built entirely around a satisfying parry mechanic, often comparing it to Sekiro. The pixel art and atmosphere are praised, but many note it is very short at 2-3 hours, and opinions split on whether the controls feel tight or clunky.
