The Japanese have such a penchant for merging the saccharine and cuddly with eldritch nightmares. The result is games like Cotton where I'm pretty sure you play as a crack-addicted young girl that murders a dual-spined personification of Death in a graveryard to get her next cotton candy crack fix.

All that being said, the standard horizontal shooter gameplay is enhanced with an experience system to upgrade your weapons which will come in handy because the game can also get very difficult in parts.
