The master storytellers at Idea Factory do it again. Through their four staple Gameindustri Goddesses, and a couple of new characters they weave an intriguing, and thought provoking tale about the social goings on of the real world gaming community. This time around the focus is on the Vtuber sensation, and the clashing toxicity of online audiences. How hate, and malice can ruin experiences for both the hosts of content, the platform they broadcast content on, and those who enjoy the provided content. Starting off as most Neptunia games do the tale in question begins abruptly with a crisis in the making.
Virtual Stars, the standalone game that it is, introduces said crisis through two at odds Goddesses know as Faeria, and Kado. Faeria happens to be the goddess of Planet Emote within the Virtualand universe. Kado, on the other hand, is the evil antagonist from Obsolentia who is the cause of Emote's plight. Invading Emote, and erasing the content there is Kado's end goal, and through the help of her tag along partner HERO she initiates the invasion using her army of Antis. Summoned against their will Neptune, Blanc, Noire, and Vert along with the Vtubers MEWTRAL (Me & You) are tasked with saving Emote, and Virtualand from it's undoing by impressing the citizenry with their V-Idol talent, and weapon based skills. In a performance that is both musically inclined, and broadcasted for emotional energy. The very life source of planet Emote.
