About
ReStory lets you run your own electronics repair shop in Y2K-era Japan. Fix iconic pieces of 2000s tech, like cell phones, video game consoles (including officially licensed Atari systems), handhelds, digital pets, home appliances, music players, cameras, and more—all while hearing the unique stories of your customers and making meaningful decisions that influence a branching storyline.
ReStory combines tactile repair gameplay with the relaxing atmosphere, shop management mechanics, and a cast of memorable characters. Grow your business by carefully unscrewing, cleaning, soldering, repainting, and assembling devices to bring them back to life—and if you need spare parts, you can always buy them online via an old-school in-game web browser. Talk to customers, hear their stories, and see how your decisions impact both their lives and your shop through a non-linear narrative.
