ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs ReStory Endings Guide

ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs does not spring an ending from a single last-minute QTE. Mandragora tracks how you treat recurring customers across the whole campaign, then weighs those arcs when the story wraps. Launch-week guides and player reports describe four primary endings—Default, Good, Secret, and Bad—plus missable Steam trophies such as Rock for the Ages! and Globalization tied to a late Hashimoto decision.

This page is the practical checklist companion to the conceptual clusters on Endings overview. Use Late game walkthrough for day-by-day pacing.

The four endings at a glance

Ending	How it triggers	Approx. length
Default	Finish the main story without meeting Good/Secret special conditions	8–10 hours
Good	Resolve all four key NPC arcs positively	10–12 hours
Secret	Clear the four positive arcs and their hidden follow-up scenes	12–15 hours
Bad	Consistently ignore, rush, or mishandle the key customers	6–8 hours

Most blind first runs land on Default. Bad is shorter because you skip almost all optional story exploration.

Good ending — four arcs you must close

Missing any one of these usually drops you back toward Default.

Former gangster (privacy phone)

When he brings a phone with disturbing content, stay silent instead of reporting him. Reporting can lead to arrest and block redemption. Keep talking on later visits and help him find legitimate work.

Lovestruck student

Help write a sincere confession message. Do not brush him off or spit out a generic text. Take time to understand the situation.

Eggotchi girl

Do more than fix the screen. Fully restore all hidden family data on the device. Incomplete data recovery is the most common accidental Default.

Landlord Hashimoto

When he brings a personal device, do not charge full price. Offer a discount or free work and ask about the device’s history.

Secret ending — Good plus hidden follow-ups

Secret builds on Good. After the four positive arcs, uncover each character’s extra scene:

• Gangster’s second chapter — After he changes his life, help again when he returns to test your trust.
• Student’s real motivation — Ask follow-up questions beyond the confession request; his story links to another customer.
• Eggotchi family reconciliation — Plays after a complete data restore.
• Hashimoto’s locked drawer — Completing his arc reveals lore about the shop’s previous owner and feeds the Secret conclusion.

Manual-save before each return conversation (Controls).

Bad ending — patterns, not one misclick

Bad results from repeatedly failing the key customers: reporting the gangster’s phone, always prioritizing profit, rushing repairs without conversation, and refusing personal stories. One rude line rarely dooms a run; a whole campaign of indifference does.

Late Hashimoto finale choice & story achievements

Near the end, after major neighborhood events (community guides mention a concert crisis), Hashimoto may present a binary shop decision. Steam hunters map:

• Rock for the Ages! — warmer / community-supporting choice
• Globalization — colder / sell-out style choice

These trophies are missable and sit beside the four ending families. Always manual-save when Hashimoto’s late offer appears. Details: Achievements.

Systems that still matter

System	Why endings care
Repair quality	Gates whether return conversations fire
Licenses	Story devices stall without authorization
Rent / survival	Bankruptcy constrains epilogues (Economy)
Consistency	Wild ethics swings confuse which cluster you earn (Reputation)

Bench mastery is necessary but not sufficient—see How to Repair.

Playthrough plan

1. First run: Aim Good or organic Default; learn the four arcs without a script.
2. Second run: Flip privacy/reporting and chase the opposite Hashimoto finale trophy.
3. Secret attempt: New save with dialogue history enabled; protect follow-ups listed above.

Avoid firmware-blocked MyPod / Guitar Legend jobs during finale week—park them per Known issues.

ReStory endings reward technicians who treat forgotten gadgets and the people holding them with equal intention. Close the four arcs, keep Hashimoto’s goodwill, and let mid-2000s Tokyo decide how your shutter is remembered.
