How long does it take to beat ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs? The developer's 15+ hour main-story estimate, the 100% achievement grind, and the day-90 milestones explained.
How Long Is ReStory? Playtime & Completion Times
ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs is a 15+ hour main-story game by the developer's own estimate — and a much longer game if you chase everything. This guide breaks down the playtime picture: main story, endings and replay, and the 100% achievement marathon. For what fills that time, see the walkthrough.
Here's what you'll learn:
- The developer's official playtime estimate
- Main story vs. completion times
- The day-90 milestones
The Official Estimate
The developer's pre-launch FAQ stated the game "should take more than 15 hours to complete, depending on your playstyle, while offering plenty of replayability afterward." That 15+ hour figure covers the main story — reaching the endings through the branching narrative.
"15+ hours" is the developer's pre-launch estimate from the official FAQ, not a measured average. Actual times vary widely with playstyle — the game's slow, tactile loop rewards lingering, and players who savor repairs will comfortably exceed it.
The Playtime Breakdown
| Goal | Estimated time |
|---|---|
| Main story (first ending) | 15+ hours (developer estimate) |
| See multiple endings | +5–10 hours (branching replay) |
| 50 achievements / 100% | 40–60+ hours (marathon grinds) |
The long-tail milestones drive the completion time:
- Quarterly Report — play through 90 in-game days
- Galactic Cleaning — clean 1,000 loose parts
- Millionaire! — earn 1,000,000 yen cumulative
- Akiba Never Sleeps — work 168 in-game hours straight without the bike
Full requirements in the achievements guide.
Is ReStory a Short Game?
By cozy-sim standards, 15+ hours is mid-length: longer than a PowerWash campaign, shorter than a Stardew-style endless game. What makes ReStory feel substantial is the structure — the story has an end, the endings encourage replays, and the achievements stretch the tail far beyond the main story.
Because story arcs and achievements progress by in-game days, the day counter (not hours) is ReStory's true pace-maker. The walkthrough maps the day-by-day milestones so you know where 15 hours actually takes you.
