Official launch snapshot
ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs released on August 6, 2026. The official Steam store identifies Mandragora as developer and tinyBuild as publisher, and lists Windows and macOS as the supported launch platforms. The same listing presents a single-player repair-shop game with Steam achievements and Steam Cloud. This is the answer for the PC and Mac Steam release; it should not be shortened into an unsupported all-platform launch claim.
- Windows and macOS
- Single-player
- Steam achievements and Steam Cloud
- Simplified Chinese interface and subtitles among nine listed languages
What the Steam listing means
A Steam release date answers when the Windows and macOS versions became available through that storefront. It does not automatically establish a console launch, physical edition, or release through another PC store. When choosing where to play, check the live platform and purchase information on Steam and confirm that Mandragora and tinyBuild appear as the developer and publisher. Keeping the date, platforms, and storefront together also avoids confusing a demo announcement with the full paid release.
Language and accessibility check
Steam lists nine interface/subtitle languages for the game, including Simplified Chinese. The current table does not list full Chinese audio, so interface and subtitle support should not be rewritten as voice localization. Language tables can change after launch; verify the live table if a language is essential to your purchase. The same rule applies to accessibility details: only publish a feature when the current store or developer source states it, and keep unverified controller or display behavior marked Pending confirmation. A language row also answers localization availability, not whether every piece of marketing, community help, or voice acting appears in that language.
Launch FAQ context
The official launch FAQ is a historical companion to the store listing. It provides launch-era context such as the developer’s estimate of more than 15 hours for the main story and an earlier Steam Deck compatibility description. When a live Steam compatibility report or store table is newer, keep the dated FAQ wording and the current status separate. This date-aware approach is important for a newly released game because launch information can be superseded without becoming false history. It also gives players a clean way to understand why an older article may use ‘Playable’ while a later live report uses a different badge.
Latest confirmed hotfix
A Steam discussion answer posted by Eugene Kisterev and marked by Steam as a developer response confirms that hotfix 1.0.015 was released on August 22, 2026. The response says it addressed a rare dialogue-language issue; another thread reports a story-progression fix for the rock musician's guitar. Because Steam does not currently expose a full 1.0.015 announcement in the official news feed, this guide labels it as a developer-confirmed hotfix rather than a complete patch-notes release.
Demo versus full release
ReStory had a public pre-release demo announcement in June 2026, before the August 6 full release. That historical announcement does not prove that Steam still offers a downloadable demo today, so check the current store page before following any download instruction. Treat the June demo and the August paid release as separate milestones, and avoid unofficial mirrors simply because an older article still mentions the demo.
Console boundary
The Steam release does not establish Nintendo Switch or PS5 availability. No developer, publisher, Nintendo, or PlayStation source currently confirms either port, so those platform pages remain on evidence hold until an official announcement or storefront listing appears. Do not treat controller support on PC or an unofficial listing as a console release confirmation. A future port should have its own official platform page, date, and purchase route before this wiki changes the hold status.
How to check the date after an update
When a future patch changes the store details, preserve the historical August 6, 2026 launch date and update only the field that changed. Release date, current version, Deck status, price, and demo availability are separate facts and should each keep a checked date. If a live store field conflicts with an older FAQ, show both dates and explain which one is current so players can understand the change.
