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.
