ReStory Chill Electronics Repairs Release Date

Release date

ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs launched on August 6, 2026. The Steam page, the July 23 release-date announcement, and tinyBuildGAMES' launch trailer all show that date.

The Steam listing marks the game as released rather than coming soon. ReStory is listed as a single-player Indie and Simulation title developed by Mandragora and published by tinyBuild. Regional unlock times from the pre-launch announcement are historical now that the game is available.

Official game facts

The official store description places the game in a mid-2000s Tokyo electronics repair shop. Its core loop combines taking customer and online orders, disassembling devices, cleaning and replacing faulty parts, reassembling the hardware, and managing the shop’s finances. The device range includes nostalgic game consoles, phones, music players, cameras, and household electronics.

ReStory also uses an in-game Y2K-style browser to search for and buy replacement parts. Customer conversations and choices can affect branching stories and multiple endings, but the official store page does not define the number or names of those endings. This overview therefore makes no claim about specific ending routes.

Is the ReStory demo still available?

An official June 16 announcement confirms that a new demo was available at that time. The announcement describes additions such as Patento BS, Airbrush and Color Palettes, and customer tips, and the official Demo Trailer preserves that historical release context. These sources confirm that the demo existed; they do not establish that it remains downloadable today.

The Steam listing did not show a downloadable demo on August 28, 2026. That does not explain why it was no longer listed, whether earlier players retained access, or whether demo saves transfer to the full game.

How long does ReStory take to beat?

The narrow official estimate is 15+ hours for the main story. The August 4 pre-launch FAQ says the exact time depends on play style and notes that branching stories, device customization, and online orders provide reasons to continue. It also states that players can keep playing after the main story instead of being forced to stop at the credits.

Individual third-party recordings vary from edited full-game videos to one creator’s account of a roughly 15-hour 100% run. Those examples are not a representative player sample, and edited video duration is not the same thing as playtime. They do not support a reliable average, completionist range, or “hours per ending” estimate.

From announcement to launch

The official news archive starts on December 9, 2025, when the game opened a Playtest and highlighted the Atari collaboration and its connection to a dismantling minigame from I Am Future. Development updates followed with device details, character introductions, gameplay trailers, and a June demo. On July 23, the official release-date trailer confirmed the August 6 launch.

The game opened on Steam on August 6, accompanied by the official launch trailer below. Later announcements moved into the 1.0.x patch line and separate DLC products. Older Playtest and demo posts explain the game's history, but they do not describe the version now sold on Steam.
