Taking place after the events of THE iDOLM@STER SP, the player sheds the title of producer and walks in the shoes of a brand-new idol. The fresh talent includes: Hidaka Ai, the hot-blooded but insecure daughter of a famous idol; Mizutani Eri, a timid hikikomori with a powerful internet following; and Akizuki Ryo, the cross-dressing cousin of 7650PRO'S Ritsuko. After completing every route, you will unlock a special epilogue. Your decisions both in the story and on stage will determine in you make it to the top.
While much more story oriented than previous titles, Dearly Stars still retains the Tension, Lesson, Promotion and Performance management of the mainline series.
