The world has been taken over by an idol boom. This growing interest in pop stars has caused the source of the CPUs’ power—shares—to vanish.

Features

• Produce: Guide the CPUs’ idol careers! Raise stats through lessons and increase their fanbase through PR events. Know when to take a break, too!
• Events: Enjoy the silly character-driven story! Enjoy the zany Neptunia cast as they talk your ears of in event scenes! The more you hang out with them, the higher their stats will climb.
• Concerts: Boost stats and put on concerts. Increase the CPUs’ shares by putting on concerts. Choose a song, outfit, and master the stage directions to throw fans into a frenzy!
• Viewer: Tap the screen and the characters will react! Sure, you can have some private time with the Neptunia cast and tap them in various areas, but they’ll get pissed if you tap them the wrong way!

Due for release in 2014 I am sure we all are looking forward to producing our #1 Idol.
