And yes, this was done solely for the task to get the badge. Sorry :(

The more Nep goodness, the better!

The very first Neptunia game where I, ace reporter Dengekiko, was finally able to showcase my real talents! :D

Sweet Fantasy is a short visual novel where you play the part of Pumpkin, a tree nymph that has been down on her luck as of late. According to the story, dryads are notorious for being clumsy and unreliable, and poor Pumpkin is no exception. Her main objective in this story is to make her current employer "happy" -- in more ways than the word initially implies! With this, Pumpkin will go to great lengths to get Miss Amethyst (her boss) to notice her, which is the premise of this story.

As with most other visual novels, progression through this one is no different. You will be presented with various options throughout the short story, which will ultimately lead to one of four endings. The choices you will make determine just how "lucky" Pumpkin will be in her endeavors~ as this story fits into the yuri genre. While it is no overly explicit once you have managed to take the appropriate route, there is definitely no mistaking its intentions as a whole.

In Pumpkin's pursuit of true love, she will wander through a dense forest, attempting to collect certain ingredients for a love potion she happened to stumble upon. In her quest, she will encounter a few unsavory characters along the way that possess the items she is avidly searching for. The choices made affect whether Pumpkin comes away empty-handed or not. Either way, what transpires will lead to one possible ending, so you will be returning to choose another option once that route has been completed. Ultimately, the route that Pumpkin wants is to gather all needed ingredients and make Miss Amethyst fall madly in love with her! But will it truly lead to a happily-ever-after ending?!

My own impression of the visual novel was that it was a rather cute and, sometimes silly, love story. To complete all four endings should take roughly around two hours, so it is no where near on par with may other VNs out there; but then at the price point that is to be expected. If you are not a fan of yuri-type stories, then this may not be to your liking. Also, the English translation is somewhat off many times throughout, but you can ultimately determine what each character is trying to convey. However, if you enjoy looking for love and listening to catchy nursery rhymes such as "London Bridge Is Falling Down" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider", then this story might be perfect for you!

So, will poor Pumpkin succeed in her life-long dream, or will she fall flat on her face and fail miserably? That is for you to decide!

I look so cute in my Gamicademi school uniform! XD
