About this game

Play as Arlo, a treasure hunting frog that has been granted the ability to make ANYTHING disappear into thin air in the Zelda-like adventure, Now or Later. Locked doors, obstacles, enemies, and even full dungeons can't stand in the way of Arlo with his newfound ability. Arlo, truly has been given an "instant win button."

But it must be used wisely.

Story

While treasure hunting, Arlo discovers the mystical Lotus Staff. This staff of legend grants the user the ability to make absolutely anything disappear. After acquiring this ability, King Croakus catches wind that Arlo had finally found the legendary Lotus Staff and sends Arlo on a quest to fetch the ingredients to cure his terrible sickness. This journey wouldn't be easy. Many have died trying to fetch these ingredients. Arlo, feeling like he can handle anything with his new ability, agrees to run the King's errands.

Explore

Explore the kingdom of Hydrosia in an open-world environment across many different regions. With Lotus Staff in hand, prepare to embark on an expedition to run the King's errands and find the cure to his illness. Meet many different characters across the kingdom and, if you feel like it, make any of them disappear. As you explore and piece together cryptic clues, you will discover where these objects and people go when they are blasted away.

Gain New Abilities

As you explore the kingdom and endure the trials of the dungeons, you will be granted new abilities, stronger attacks, and new ways to use the Lotus Staff. 

Choose Your Own Path

As you carve your own shortcuts through an abandoned observatory, an icy cave, and a fiery lake you will begin to notice that your actions really do impact the world around you. Blasting away NPCs could close paths, but open other paths. Side quests could be unfinishable. You will need to use your power wisely.

Consequences

Will the consequences of your actions come back to haunt you?

Yes.
