ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs

ReStory is a simulation video game where the player runs an electronics repair shop in Akihabara, Tokyo in the 2000s.^[3] The goal is to disassemble, clean, and reassemble pieces from customers, from phones to cameras and music players.^[4] The repair shop partially owes a yakuza clan cash, and the player must pay them money for protection, rent, and utilities.^[3]

There are different endings depending on how the player completes the objectives and interacts with non-player characters.^[5]

ReStory was developed by Mandragora, the creator of I Am Future: Cozy Apocalypse Survival.^[4] It was directed by Evgeny Kisterev.^[6] The game includes officially-licensed Atari consoles as part of partnership with the company.^[4]

Publisher tinyBuild announced the game in December 2025.^[6] A demo was released in June 2026 for Steam Next Fest.^[7] It was released on 6 August 2026 for Windows.^[8] Shortly after release, tinyBuild caused controversy when it permanently revoked 649 keys for being sold on grey market sites, which CEO Alex Nichiporchik described as "shady key reseller[s]", at discounted prices outside their region. This also caused some Green Man Gaming keys to be revoked, although those customers were sent replacement keys.^[9]

ReStory was a commercial success at launch. The game made back its budget within 12 hours.^[11] It sold 300,000 copies in the debut week.^[9]
