Storyline[]
Set after the events of Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 but takes place in an alternate Gamindustri set during 1989, where Planeptune is a small country, Lowee as a Japanese styled area and Leanbox as an invading overseas country. Lastation is an area connected with Planeptune.
Neptune is thrown into this continuity and embarks her adventure to get back. Because this is not the world/dimension or time she's supposed to live in, she is not in charge of Planeptune; a new character called Plutia also known as Iris Heart is in charge of Planeptune instead.

Two new Hearts are introduced in the game. Iris Heart, the CPU of Planeptune in the Ultradimension whose human form is named Plutia, an airheaded, lazy CPU, much like Neptune herself. And Yellow Heart, a new CPU who causes trouble for the CPUs in later chapters.
