tinyBuild and developer Mandragora have announced that ReStory will launch on Steam this summer.
The chill electronics repair sim also has a new Steam Next Fest demo available now, offering a deeper look at its Y2K-era Japan setting, repair systems, and gadget customization.
Run a Y2K Repair Shop
ReStory puts players in charge of an electronics repair shop in Japan near the turn of the millennium.
Players will clean, restore, repair, and customize a range of nostalgic devices, including retro game consoles, handhelds, cellphones, cameras, home appliances, and licensed Atari systems.
The game has already drawn strong interest, with tinyBuild reporting more than 300,000 playtest players and over 400,000 Steam wishlists since its late 2025 reveal.
New Demo Adds More Gadgets and Customization
The Steam Next Fest demo expands on the earlier playtest build with new devices, including the Patento BS, a handheld clearly inspired by classic portable gaming hardware.
The demo also adds an airbrush drawing tool, letting players customize repaired gadgets with their own designs.
Repair, Shop, and Browse the Web
ReStory’s repair loop includes cleaning devices, using multiple tools, ordering spare parts, and fulfilling both in-person and online customer requests.
Players can also use a Y2K-style web browser to hunt for components and manage repair work.
Customer Stories and Branching Choices
Each customer brings their own story.
Players may uncover secrets on a former gangster’s phone, help a lovestruck student, or make decisions that shape branching storylines and affect the ending.
ReStory launches on Steam this summer, with the demo available now during Steam Next Fest.
