Cotton is a side-scrolling adventure game starring a red-headed witch named Cotton. With her fairy friend Silk by her side, Cotton flies on her broomstick to fight monsters and collect candy. Players will have a mode to play the original X68000 version or the modernized mode that gives the game a significant visual upgrade. ININ Games has stated the new game will be a “faithful reboot” of the 90s game.

Cotton’s adventures were followed by four sequels, including Marchen Adventure Cotton, Panorama Cotton, Cotton 2: Magical Night Dreams, and Rainbow Cotton. The witch would later appear in Umihara Kawasaki BaZooka as a playable character.
