ReStory has officially received a release date. This electronics repair simulation game from publisher tinyBuild and developer Mandragora will launch for PC via Steam on August 6, 2026.
ReStory Takes Players to a Y2K-Era Electronics Repair Shop
ReStory is set in Japan during the Y2K era. Players will run an electronics repair shop and work on a variety of classic devices inspired by 2000s technology.
The main gameplay focuses on the process of repairing devices. Players can unscrew parts, clean components, solder, repaint, and then reassemble the devices so they can be used again.
Devices that can be repaired include cell phones, video game consoles, handheld devices, digital pets, home appliances, music players, cameras, and other devices that fit the retro gaming theme.
Combine Store Management and Customer Stories
In addition to repairs, ReStory also features shop management elements. Players must accept orders, manage the shop’s finances, and find the spare parts needed to complete jobs.
Players search for spare parts using an old-school-style browser within the game. This feature was designed to reinforce the early 2000s tech vibe that defines the game’s identity.
Interaction with customers is also an important part of the gaming experience. Each customer has their own story, and the player’s decisions can affect their lives as well as the shop’s development.
Key Features
To give you a clearer picture, here are some of the key features ReStory offers:
- Satisfying Gadget Repairs: Players can follow the device repair process from the very beginning until the device is fully reassembled.
- Store Management: Players manage orders, finances, and spare parts needs for the repair shop.

ReStory Unveils an Atari-Licensed Console
