ReStory licenses: Shop Progression Guide
Steam’s official records establish purchasable in-game licenses and four named license objectives; an independent pre-release hands-on supports the shop-purchase context. Checked sources do not establish exact prices, the total catalogue, unlock day, or best purchase order.

Steam’s official records establish purchasable in-game licenses and four named license objectives; an independent pre-release hands-on supports the shop-purchase context. Checked sources do not establish exact prices, the total catalogue, unlock day, or best purchase order.
Direct answer
ReStory has an in-game license purchase system: Steam’s official achievement list exposes objectives for any license, five licenses, the most expensive license, and all licenses; an independent pre-release hands-on describes buying tools and licenses from the shop computer. SteamDB is used only as a third-party index of the public objective labels, not as independent proof. The checked sources do not establish exact costs, the total catalogue, device requirements, unlock days, or the best purchase order. Atari brand licensing is a separate partnership claim supported by the Steam listing and independent preview.
What a ReStory license means
Public evidence establishes that ReStory has purchasable in-game licenses: the official Steam achievement list tracks license purchases, and an independent pre-release hands-on preview describes buying tools and licenses from the shop computer. The preview is historical context, not proof of every current-release rule; the checked sources do not define exactly what every license unlocks or publish a complete released-game catalogue.
The Steam store separately describes officially licensed Atari consoles, and the independent preview reports the Atari partnership. Keep an in-game shop license separate from the Atari brand license; neither source supports inferring a device requirement from a brand resemblance.
Confirmed license milestones
The official Steam achievement list is the authoritative source for these four objective labels. SteamDB reproduces the same labels as a third-party index of public achievement data, so it is not treated as independent current-build confirmation. Use the exact Steam wording as the target, and treat player advice about the cheapest or fastest route as a test idea rather than a guaranteed strategy.
| Milestone | Official objective | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| First license | Buy any license | Which license is first or cheapest |
| Five-license milestone | Acquire 5 licenses | That the game has only five licenses |
| Most-expensive-license milestone | Buy the most expensive license | The current price or unlock condition |
| All-license milestone | Acquire all licenses | The total catalogue or best purchase order |
Costs, unlocks, and device requirements
The official achievement list and independent preview establish that licenses exist and can be purchased, but neither provides a current released-game price table, total catalogue, or universal profit formula. Do not empty the register because a forum post calls one license optimal.
A device name, a visual resemblance, or an Atari reference is not enough to infer a license requirement. Keep brand licensing, shop licensing, and repairability as separate fields when a future device record is added.
How to record a license result
Record the current game version, shop progress, license name, displayed cost, available shelf or device context, and the save state before purchase. Capture the result, then compare it with an official source or a second current-build record before publishing a price or unlock claim.
If a purchase is unavailable, the price changes, or the result differs after reload, mark the record as needs retest. A community screenshot can document what one player saw, but it cannot establish a universal progression route by itself.
What this guide does not claim
This page does not publish a best license order, guaranteed profit route, exact unlock day, complete device-to-license map, or real-world electronics qualification. Those answers require versioned in-game records that are not present in the checked sources.
