Cotton Reboot! High Tension!

Cotton Reboot! High Tension! Kuidaore Night Dreams is a shoot 'em up video game developed by BEEP, and a sequel to Cotton Reboot!, released in 2025 for the Sony PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch in Japan.

Story

"We will settle the grudge against those who have eaten us since ancient times!"

One day, Willow suddenly became self-aware.

She was supposed to be nothing more than a specialty of the fairyland of Filament, but for some reason she possessed great magical powers, and the world was thrown into chaos by her violent power, which she wielded along with her unfathomable hatred. The world was plunged into an unprecedented crisis.

At that moment, Silk had an idea.

"...Ah! I can just get Cotton to eat Willow!"

In that case, Silk's good point is that she can act quickly.

After receiving permission from the queen, she immediately took off and headed for Cotton, who was probably wandering somewhere in the forest as usual.

Gameplay

High Tension follows up from the gameplay systems of Cotton Reboot! while adding new systems.

Upon collecting a certain number of items, the player enters “Over Tension,” unlocking a level of “high tension” where both the character and enemies are powered up. Along with returning classic magic like “Fire Dragon” and “Lightning,” the game introduces a new attack system called “Enemy Capture,” which lets the player use enemy characters to help clear each stage. The “Fever” system from the previous game also returns, now enhanced as the more-exhilarating “Willow Fever.”

When your gauge reaches 100 percent, “Over Tension” will activate, doubling your score. Enemy attacks become more extreme, but you can use powerful hidden magic to significantly boost your score. Aim for the high score!
