The bell over the shop door stutters as rain hits the awning. I hand a cracked Eggotchi back to a nervous girl and watch the world change in her eyes. You feel, in that small instant, how a repair can reroute a life.
I played through ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs on PC and Switch and traced every customer thread until the credits rolled. The game’s endings are quiet but meaningful, and they hinge on small choices you make in the shop. If you bought it on Steam for $14.99 (€15), you already have everything you need to chase every outcome.
On the storefront glass a sticker promises “Repairs while you wait” — All ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs endings at a glance
Endings in ReStory aren’t hidden behind puzzles; they’re woven into conversations and repairs. I reached the default ending in roughly 9.5 hours; other players report faster runs if they rush objectives. The game hands you agency: follow the main tasks and you’ll get the standard finish, or linger, answer questions, and pick paths that change who stays and who leaves.
How many endings are there in ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs?
There are four broad outcomes: the Default ending, the Happy ending, a Hidden (secret) ending that expands on character arcs, and a Bad ending if you mismanage the main NPCs. Each is a different emotional payoff rather than a binary good/bad scoreboard.
How long does each ending take to reach?
Expect about 9–10 hours for the Default and Happy endings if you play steadily; the Hidden ending stretches longer since it requires extra follow-ups and missed opportunities can force another run. The Bad ending can happen quickly if you ignore key requests.
A milk crate by the alley holds old flyers — Happy Ending explained
The Happy ending is the one where people leave steadier than they arrived. I stumbled into it by paying attention and doing a few favors; you can chase it deliberately if you watch the customer threads.
To reach the Happy ending, prioritize these character beats:
- Hashimoto (landlord): He brings an old Nokia—dubbed a Pokia in the game. Offer to repair it and go the extra mile by asking about the device’s history. If you tell him you’ll work for free he’ll still tip you; that exchange opens dialogue and later unlocks a drawer with backstory.
- Eggotchi girl: Don’t only fix the screen. Restore the device’s data. That recovery reveals family history and an emotional payoff that matters for later scenes.
- Student: He wants you to pass along a confession. Hear him out; don’t brush him off. Letting him speak ties him to another client’s arc.
- Gangster: He brings a device that holds evidence. If you turn him in, he vanishes; if you help him wipe his slate clean he returns and becomes a trust anchor, which nudges you toward the Happy path.
Endings are a deck of well-worn postcards—each story slides into place when you handle the small, human details. I reached this ending accidentally in about 10 hours; if you focus on these threads you’ll find it deliberately.
How do I get the Happy Ending?
Listen more than you tinker. Use Steam Cloud saves to branch—make manual saves before major fixes if you want to test different reactions. Help the gangster instead of reporting him, restore the Eggotchi data, and follow Hashimoto’s questions to their end. Those small decisions compound into the happier resolution.
A rusted cash register sits on the counter with a stuck drawer — The Hidden ending and what it requires
The Hidden ending rewards obsessive curiosity and patience. I missed it on my first run because I skipped a follow-up—this one asks you to pay attention over time.
To reach the secret variant you must complete and then extend the four main arcs:
- Finish Hashimoto’s repairs and interrogate the found drawer to learn who owned the shop before you.
- Fully recover the Eggotchi’s memory; that unlocks an intimate scene about the girl and her family that other endings skim past.
- Check back with the student after his confession; he connects to another client and a later reveal hinges on that follow-up.
- Continue helping the gangster beyond the initial favor—he returns to repay trust, and persistent support nudges the story into the Secret Ending.
Every repair is a key in an old lock, and the Hidden ending opens a final compartment only that key fits. This is the longest route, so if you’re not rushing, plan multiple sessions and use save slots on whatever platform you play—PC players can rely on Steam’s manual backups while Switch users should keep an eye on local saves.
The neon “CLOSED” sign buzzes on nights you ignore the bell — The Bad ending explained
The Bad ending happens when you mishandle the central NPCs—refuse favors, ignore data restores, or betray trust. It’s not punishment so much as a logical consequence: relationships fray, people leave, and the shop’s future narrows.
If you wanted the Bad outcome as a study in missed chances, do everything the wrong way—skip conversations, refuse to restore memory, and report the gangster. You’ll see how fragile the web of small kindnesses is; the game is excellent at showing ripple effects.
ReStory rewards patience, observation, and a willingness to listen more than it rewards speedruns. Which ending will you chase first?
