tinyBuild and Mandragora have revealed the ReStory release date for the upcoming cozy electronics repair simulator game, and it’s much closer than you might be expecting.
If you’ve been itching to repair classic game consoles and the like on your PC, you’ll be able to do so in ReStory when it launches on Steam on August 6 — exactly two weeks from today. The title is said to have an “in-depth device cleaning and restoration system,” as well as a branching storyline with an ending that’ll be impacted by your own choices. Additionally, the game is set to feature a unique vibe of 2000s urban Japan, with players having to purchase spare parts through a “Y2K-era web browser.”

Your interactions with each customer can change their lives forever.
