ReStory gameplay loop: Repair Shop Guide

Direct answer

The ReStory gameplay loop begins with an online or in-person order, moves through disassembly, cleaning, faulty-part replacement, and reassembly, then returns to shop management and customer choices. That sequence is confirmed by the Steam description and official media; exact button sequences and device-specific diagnosis steps are still unconfirmed.

From customer order to repair bench

The official Steam page says the shop handles both in-person and online orders. Each order gives the repair context and connects the device to a customer rather than treating every object as free inventory. Public sources do not document a universal order priority, deadline, or menu sequence.

Before changing a device, read the active order and item state in the current build. A tutorial object, story order, and repeatable request may expose different actions. A precise order-by-order walkthrough requires reproducible full-release captures.

Disassemble, clean, replace, and rebuild

Steam explicitly lists taking gadgets apart, cleaning them, replacing faulty parts, and assembling them again with multiple tools. PC Gamer independently described the same visible sequence after reviewing official footage. Those sources support the broad workflow without proving a single button order for every device.

The available material does not publish a diagnostic chart, component failure rate, or required tool for every model. Screw locations, cleaning thresholds, and completion checks therefore remain unconfirmed. This page will move from research status after those steps can be reproduced in the current release.

Spare parts and shop decisions

The official store confirms a Y2K-style browser used to hunt for spare parts. It also names finances, customer intake, and continued shop management around the repair work. Market refresh timing, inventory limits, and an optimal profit route are not documented in those sources.

Use the current shop interface as the authority when a device needs a component. Do not assume that every shell can be sold, stripped, or recycled, because the universal unused-device action has not been verified. That inventory question is tracked in a separate research guide.

How story choices complete the loop

Official material says customer dialogue and player choices can affect a branching storyline and its ending. The handoff after a repair can therefore carry narrative consequences instead of acting only as a payment screen. The exact number of endings and the result of each response are not published.

A verified route guide must record the dialogue shown, immediate result, later consequence, and game version. Until that evidence exists, this guide describes only the confirmed system-level loop. It does not name a best choice or invent a relationship score.
