ReStory’s cozy game appeal vanishes as soon as the rent bill makes its appearance in the game. Then every single day becomes a hectic rush of completing orders, buying licenses, satisfying the client’s requirements, all the while having enough rent money every day. The only salvation here is the tool upgrades; having a better set of tools makes work faster to help you earn more money and preserve the shop reputation from going rock bottom in ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs.
Best Early Game Items to Obtain
If you are starting out with no money in your wallet, then there are a few upgrades that you must keep a keen eye on. Here we will delve into the upgrades that you must get starting out in the game. Since it’s early in the game, I’m going to cover all the necessary items under 15k.
| Item Name | Why? | Location of Purchase |
| Electric Screwdriver | Allows you to disassemble any device much faster, making your overall repair quicker so you can take in more work per day. | Purchased from Binotaro for ¥5,500 |
| Cleaning Brush | Allows you to clean off dirt from devices; you will find many tasks related to only cleaning, which can be done easily to make more than a decent amount of money. | Purchased from Binotaro for ¥2,000 |
| Cleaning Brush Radius Upgrade | Increases the radius for the Cleaning Brush effect. Allowing you to clean off more dirt without having to spend too much time on one object. [The upgrades skip 40% of the cleaning time from the game.] | Purchased from Binotaro for ¥6,500 |
| Tip Jar | This allows you make passive income on the side, as the consumer will leave a tip for every completed order. | Purchased at ¥15,000 |
| License | Allows you to handle more devices for repair and tweaking. | Varies in numbers |
All the items mentioned above will set you up well for the early game, where the money is low and work speed is slow. These are the necessary upgrades that can drastically change the pace of the game to create a more stable and faster workflow than before.
Target Upgrades for Progression
Once you get into the flow, here is the list of upgrades you should be on the lookout for. Make these upgrades your priority for the shop’s sustainability. These are incredibly helpful in helping you speed up the common chores of the game and helping you skip it.
| Item Name | Why? | Location of Purchase |
| Professional Screwdriver | A more efficient version of the Electric Screwdriver, a must-have tool to speed up the flow of the game. | Purchased from Binotaro for ¥11,000 |
| Ultrasonic Bath | Auto-cleans the devices without having to manually drag the brush over the items. | Purchased from Gozilla Fairfox for ¥80,000 |
| Eternal Shredder | Why throw the broken parts away? Instead, you can use them on Shredder to make money off them. A common Shredder will cost 70K, but it will be less useful. | Purchased from Binotaro for ¥180,000 |
Now, these are the items that you should set as a goal for the game. Compared to what we had on the earlier table, here everything is expensive but extremely useful. They help you skip the work and make everything profitable, even broken parts.
You can use the tool as many times as you want without worrying about breaking them or overworking them. Do note that once you buy a tool, it’s yours forever. They don’t come with any durability issues or maintenance; these tools are designed to be used forever.
