***Gal\*Gun*** is a video game series of dating sim/rail shooter hybrids (referred to as "3D Eye Shooting" in the Japanese marketing) created and directed by Masanori Ito and developed by Inti Creates. The original *Gal\*Gun* debuted on the Xbox 360 on January 27th, 2011 exclusively for Japan, and the series would not enter the Western market until the English release of *Gal\*Gun: Double Peace*. Initially the series was published by Alchemist, but after the publisher's dissolvement, Inti Creates would self-publish the IP in domestic markets, while PQube publishes the games outside of Japan.

Initially, the series was conceived as a one-shot title, with no intentions of creating a follow-up game. However, three main titles would ultimately be created (*Returns* is a remake of the original title, and *VR* has no scenario). All games share a common scenario: an average high school boy is granted out-of-control popularity with the opposite sex by an angel in need. To ward off the advances of lustful peers, the boy must use the power of the Pheromone Shot to neutralize them with pure ecstasy. The specific scenarios, goals, and characters differ from game to game.

Due to the restrictions faced on Sony's (and Microsoft's) platforms, the status of future main series titles is currently uncertain, and reportedly will be restricted to Nintendo and Steam platforms at best.
