Evaluation

ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs launched on August 6, 2026, and the developer has been very active since release, posting two patches and a major milestone update within the first week. On August 13, 2026 — today — the developer published a post celebrating 300,000 copies sold in the first week and made explicit commitments about what comes next. They confirmed that a first free content update featuring a new gadget is already in development ("it won't be long"), and that they are also working on a long-term roadmap covering "updates, fun collabs, and DLCs to come." This is a clear, direct statement from the developer that post-launch content is actively planned and in progress. The DLC list currently contains only a soundtrack (released August 12, 2026) and a digital artbook (released August 6, 2026) — no unreleased DLC is listed yet — but the developer's own words make the content pipeline explicit.

About this game

ReStory is a chill, narrative-driven shop management simulator from the creators of I Am Future, set on the bustling streets of mid-2000s Tokyo and featuring an in-depth device repair system. 

In this game, you run an electronics repair shop, meticulously restore nostalgic Y2K-era devices, including officially licensed Atari consoles, and interact with customers to experience a branching storyline with multiple endings that depend on your choices.

Greet customers, take their devices in for repairs, manage your finances, and surf the web for spare parts. Relax and enjoy running your own small shop in a game created with love and respect for the one-of-a-kind vibe of the Japanese urban life in the mid-2000s.

Fix a variety of nostalgic devices inspired by iconic game consoles, handhelds, phones, cameras, music players, and home appliances. Carefully take each gadget apart, clean it, replace faulty parts, and assemble it back together using your trusty toolset.

The way you interact with each customer can change their lives forever. Will you report on a disturbing find inside the former gangster’s phone, or help a lovestruck student confess to his crush? Make your own choices and see how they impact the branching storyline.
