In an act of desperation, the Digital Goddess of the planet Emote, Faira, sends a distress signal to other dimensions in hopes to find a savior of this planet.
And the saviors that were reached? The rising Vtuber stars, Me and You, members of MEWTRAL, as well as the Goddesses of Gamindustri: Neptune, Noire, Blanc, and Vert!
Can MEWTRAL and the Goddesses band together and save the planet Emote from complete destruction?
Gameplay[]
Characters[]
CPUs[]
- Neptune
- Voiced by: Rie Tanaka
The main protagonist of the four Goddesses, and the Goddess of Planeptune. This game might be a spin-off, but Neptune's level of positivity in it is equal to that of a mainline title. She's a bright, exuberant leader to those around her and really fills her role as the protagonist of all protagonists. As a lover of anime and the fine art of gaming, she is known to offer witticisms about the world around her.
- Noire
- Voiced by: Asami Imai
The Goddess of Lastation. She is prideful, not often willing to let others know her true feelings. Her nature is antithetical to Neptune, towards whom she is usually cold. A textbook tsundere, through and through.
- Blanc
- Voiced by: Kana Asumi
The Goddess of Lowee. She loves to read, and doesn't speak out of turn very much. However, she is short-tempered. When agitated, she becomes curt and unafraid to speak her mind. She and Vert are known to butt heads due to their... size difference.
- Vert
- Voiced by: Rina Satou
The Goddess of Leanbox. Among the four Goddesses, she is the most mature, renowned in Gamindustri for her illustrious golden hair and her incredible... proportions. She has eloquence and poise, with a nurturing and kind aura. Truthfully, however, she is a hardcore gamer and a committed otaku.
Virtual Idols[]
- Me
- Voiced by: N/A
Me is a new protagonist, and a member of MEWTRAL alongside her partner, You. They're both aspiring virtual idols (better known as V-Idols). She is a firecracker, as lively as she is sometimes crass. Her bravery is commendable, with a willingness to tackle any obstacle with glee.
- You
- Voiced by: N/A
You is a new protagonist, and a member of MEWTRAL alongside her partner, Me. They're both aspiring virtual idols (better known as V-Idols). Her calm and collected demeanor can only be stopped when her curiosity is piqued. Her malignant inclinations cause her speech to become venomous from time to time. Beware.
- Vice
- Voiced by: N/A
Vice is part of a virtual unit formed with her partner, Licht. Their contrasting personalities, that of a devil and angel respectively, are part of their charm. though at times she can be a bit of a tyrant, she has a heart of gold. Whenever Vice is at a disadvantage, she loses confidence and looks like she's about to cry. She plans to take over the world by becoming an idol.
- Licht
- Voiced by: N/A
Licht is part of a virtual unit formed with her partner, Vice. Their contrasting personalities, that of a devil and angel respectively, are part of their charm. She is known for her peaceful aura. Her embrace is as sweet as an angel's, and she positions herself as the older sister of the duo. Unbeknownst to most, she's something of a sadist, and enjoys toying with Vice's impressionable brain from time to time.
- Mauli
- Voiced by: N/A
Mauli is part of a virtual unit formed with her partner, Kili. She is a talker, which pairs well with the soft-spoken Kili. Their contrast enhances their marketing appeal. Her bluntness makes her the ideal older sister, and nothing fazes her free-spirited demeanor. Although she can be aloof, she takes great care to be a good listener.
- Kili
- Voiced by: N/A
Kili is part of a virtual unit formed with her partner, Mauli. She is soft-spoken, which pairs well with the talkative Mauli. Their contrast enhances their marketing appeal. Kili can be pessimistic and somber. that said, she has a smug, chatty side to her that sometimes rears its head.
Emote[]
- Faira
- Voiced by: Reina Ueda
The ideal goddess. Just, sensible, and deeply compassionate. She can be too trusting in others, which is exacerbated by her clumsiness. She summons the four Goddesses and the Vtubers to save Planet Emote, hoping to stave off destruction at the hands of Antis.
- Nol
- Voiced by: Hiyori Kono
Dia's older brother who lives in NeoTube, a nation on the planet Emote. Nol is an aspiring idol producer. He loves to absorb all types of Content-related knowledge from beyond the realms of Virtualand. His encounter with real V-Idols, Me & You, changed his life.
- Dia
- Voiced by: Maya Yoshioka

Buzz[]
- Sukokin
- Voiced by: Yu Omoto
A famous streamer who fled to Planet Emote from Planet Buzz out of desperation. He agrees to be the producer of BeatTik dance livestreams to boost the popularity of the Four Goddesses and Vtubers on Planet Emote.
Obsoletia[]
- Kado
- Voiced by: Yo Taichi
The Leader of planet Obsoletia and the Great Invader. Her personality is as cold as ice. Some call her inhumane. She leads an army of Anti troops, invading Planet Emote with the intelligent HERO. Her true motives are unknown.
- HERO
