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

Way To Yaatra is a free 2D puzzle platformer built around throwing spears with different powers. Players enjoy the hand-drawn art and consider it sincere but note its janky execution, unfair difficulty spikes in later levels and bosses, and at least two bugged achievements. Long loading screens and limited graphics options are also mentioned.
