About the Game
A chill, narrative-driven repair shop sim set in mid-2000s Tokyo, where restoring retro gadgets meets branching customer stories.
ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs is an independent simulation game that blends shop management with a narrative-driven story. You run a small electronics repair shop in mid-2000s Tokyo, taking in customers' devices, carefully restoring them, and keeping your finances in order. It comes from the creators of I Am Future and is published by tinyBuild.
The core loop is hands-on and methodical. Customers bring in devices, and you take each gadget apart, clean it, replace faulty parts, and reassemble it with your toolset. When you need spare parts, you can surf the web in a Y2K-era browser to track them down, and you also handle a mix of in-person and online orders. The devices range from game consoles and handhelds to phones, cameras, music players, and home appliances, including officially licensed Atari consoles.
The story unfolds through the people who walk through the door. Each customer has their own stories and dialogue, and how you respond can change their lives and the direction of the branching storyline. The store description gives examples: deciding whether to report a disturbing find inside a former gangster's phone, or helping a lovestruck student confess to his crush. Your choices shape the ending, and the game is built to be replayed.
The overall tone is what makes it stand out. The store page emphasizes a relaxed pace and a distinct, chill vibe of urban life in Japan, aiming to capture the feel of mid-2000s city life. It is a single-player experience with Steam achievements and Steam Cloud saves, and it offers DualSense controller support alongside partial controller support.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Players who enjoy slow, methodical repair work and cozy shop management will find plenty to like here. It also suits anyone who wants a story that responds to their decisions and rewards a second playthrough. Fans of 2000s-era gadgets and the atmosphere of Japanese city life will appreciate the setting.
Not Recommended For
If you want fast action, combat, or a high-pressure economy, this is not the right pick, since the store description centers on a relaxed shop routine. Players who need Traditional Chinese text should look elsewhere, because the game does not list Traditional Chinese among its supported languages.
What the Steam Reviews Say
ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam, with 95% of its reviews being positive. Its review count runs to tens of thousands of reviews, which is a substantial sample for judging how players feel about it.
On Steam, the label is based on the percentage of positive reviews and the total number of reviews, so a rating this high suggests the large majority of players who reviewed it were satisfied. A very small review count would make a rating less reliable, but this volume gives a fairly solid picture of overall player opinion.
Price History & Historical Low
We started recording this game's Taiwan-store price on 2026-10-29 and have 2 day(s) of data so far.
Latest recorded price: NT$239 (regular NT$299)
A price chart appears here once we have recorded at least a week of prices with some variation.
All prices here are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. The game currently sells for NT$ 239, a 20% discount from its regular price of NT$ 299. It is not free to keep right now, and our records show no free-to-keep days for it.
Our price record is still short, so the verdict is tentative. The lowest paid price we have recorded is NT$ 239, which is also the latest price, and the highest price we have recorded is the same NT$ 239, so there is not yet a wider range to compare against. Our records show discounts happen often.
Whether now is a good time depends on how patient you are. At NT$ 239 the game sits at the lowest point we have recorded, so buying now is a reasonable choice if you want it today. If you prefer to see how the price moves over a longer period, wishlisting it and watching for further sales is also a sensible approach.
