The dust clouds are a reference to the combat | The dust clouds are a reference to the combat mechanic in ''Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru'', which is a turn-based system that pits the player and their enemy in a battle within a dust cloud, exchanging hits until one is defeated. The ability to turn into a frog is gained through a potion given to the player by the witch Mandola, which allows the player to transform into a frog by touching cold water. Transforming back into a human requires the use of another potion bought from Mandola later in the game, which lets the player transform into a human by almost dying (which can be achieved by eating Joy Fruit) or into a snake by eating snake eggs. | ||
