Gameplay and Features

The core loop is simple: customers bring in broken devices, and your job is to carefully repair them using tools like the soldering iron(which unlocks the "How did I do this?" achievement on first use). Over time you will also clean parts,reprogram devices, apply stickers, and paint devices by a client's order.

Your shop has a Zen points system tied to peaceful, careful work; accumulating more than 100 Zen points earns the "A Place Of Zen" achievement. Keeping the workshop tidy also matters, since cleaning it unlocks "Clean Job" and removing dirt from 100 and then 1000 parts feeds the "Big cleaning!" and "Galactic cleaning!" achievements.

How does the shop economy work?

You earn yen by completing repairs and selling finished devices. The main money sinks are licenses,parts, and tools. Buying your first license unlocks the "Official Partner" achievement and opens email orders, while acquiring all licenses pushes toward "Platinum Partner".

What should I spend money on first?

• Professional screwdriver: a core upgrade that supports the "Twist and turn" achievement and makes device work smoother.
• Box of parts: a cheap supply source; buying 50 boxes eventually unlocks "Gambler".
• License: unlocks paid orders and email work, pushing you toward "Master of the Internet" and "Internet Business".
• Workshop decorations: buying something cozy unlocks "Cozy!" and keeps the shop feeling personal.

Can I customize devices?

Yes. You can apply stickers to devices, with achievements at 25("Instant Cool-er") and 100("Sticker Bombing") stickers applied. You can also reprogram devices (25 reprogram jobs earns "11001") and take custom paint orders. An order that combines painting, cleaning, repair, and hacking in one job unlocks "Jack of all trades".

What are the long-term goals?

The game tracks days played and reputation. Playing through 30 days earns "Employee of the Month",90 days earns "Quarterly Report", and 365 days earns "Akiba Feels Like Home". You can also enter device assembly competitions across Akiba; winning one earns "Promise of Akiba", winning in 3 different competitions earns "Star of Akiba", and winning at least one competition for each device type earns "Legend of Akiba".

Technical Requirements and Support

ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs is a lightweight simulation title, so most office PCs from the last decade should handle it. Here are the official minimum PC requirements:

• OS: Windows 10 x64
• Processor: 2-core / 4-thread CPU
• Memory: 4 GB RAM
• Graphics: GTX 750ti
• DirectX: Version 11
• Storage: 1 GB available space

The install is tiny at only 1 GB, so it fits easily on almost any drive. With a GTX 750ti listed as the minimum, modern integrated graphics may also work in practice, but the official minimum is the safe baseline to plan around.

Does the game support controllers and cloud saves?

Yes. The Steam store page lists Controller Support,Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing. Steam Cloud keeps your shop progress and settings synced if you play across multiple machines.
