ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs Devices You Can Repair
Licensed Atari gear, Y2K parody brands, and the stories they carry
ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs built its identity on tactile restoration of turn-of-the-millennium hardware. Devices are not cosmetic props—they drive the repair minigames, license gates, marketplace flips, and customer stories that define your Tokyo shop. This hub organizes every major family you will disassemble, clean, and rebuild across a 15+ hour campaign and beyond.
Hardware falls into two buckets: officially licensed Atari products with real branding, and parody devices that evoke Nokia phones, Sony handhelds, Tamagotchi pets, Polaroid cameras, and other icons without using trademarked names. Knowing which bucket a gadget belongs to tells you whether you need a license check on hand-in.

Brand snapshot
Atari — The only family with official license branding in-game. Expect authentic logos on 2600 consoles, CX40 joysticks, and Lynx handhelds.
Pokia — Candy-bar phones such as the 3310 and flip-style Njoy units. Common early-game work with keypad and display faults.
Nony — Catch-all for Sony-adjacent gear: PMP handhelds, PlayMachine home consoles, and Goman portable music players. Requires service licenses for full repairs.
Eggotchi — Virtual pet line with shell cracks, button wear, and battery corrosion—excellent training devices.
Palaloid — Instant and compact cameras needing lens, flash, or sensor attention.
Unicorp — Compact computers like the 99L with keyboard and board-level issues.
Patento — Handheld gaming parodies such as the BS line.
Autorolla — Personal care gadgets including the Razor shaver restoration jobs.
Miscellaneous — Walkie-talkie radios, Robodog toys, torches, and odd quest items that still use the core repair loop.
Licenses and legal repair fiction
Mid-2000s Japan setting means customers reference official service forms—a story excuse for license checks. Attempting to finish a Nony PMP without authorization mirrors real-world Sony service policies, adapted for cozy gameplay rather than punishment. Always verify Licenses before quoting a customer.
Difficulty and player skill
Not all devices respect your time equally. Eggotchi and Walkie-talkie jobs teach patience; Lynx and Palaloid jobs punish skipped cleaning steps. Use the tier list when balancing Shop Management throughput with learning goals.
Collecting and achievements
Several Achievements track unique model repairs or full brand columns. Spread repairs across categories during natural story flow instead of leaving an entire brand for post-credits grind.
What is not listed here
ReStory may add devices through updates—check Updates if a job appears without wiki coverage. This hub documents launch-era roster knowledge from playtests and community wikis without inventing unreleased SKUs or fake stat blocks.
