Dive into Nostalgia: Repair Iconic Gadgets in the Upcoming Indie Gem, ReStory
Prepare yourself for a heartwarming trip down memory lane with ReStory, an indie game that perfectly marries nostalgia and relaxing gameplay. Set in a cozy electronics repair shop nestled in Tokyo during the vibrant mid-2000s, players take on the role of the shopkeeper, surrounded by an array of beloved gadgets from that era.
The recently released trailer gives us a glimpse of this charming experience. As you interact with a delightful mix of devices—think cleverly disguised versions of Tamagotchis, trusty Nokia brick phones, the classic PSP, and the iconic Walkman—you’ll find yourself immersed in a world that feels both familiar and endearing.
Your role goes beyond merely fixing gadgets; your interactions with customers can dramatically influence their lives, hinting at the rich narrative woven into the gameplay. Unlike the high-octane action of other titles like Kaizen, which captured attention during the Steam Automation Fest, ReStory opts for a more laid-back, feel-good approach.
Developed by the indie studio Mandragora, ReStory is currently in the playtesting phase, gearing up for its anticipated release in 2026. This game promises a cozy escape that invites you to relive the magic of early 2000s tech, one repair at a time. Keep an eye out for this delightful adventure that celebrates the charm of our tech-filled past!
