ReStory Characters

Think “conditions,” not cutscene titles

This page stays spoiler-light on purpose. Instead of naming every CG, we list executable conditions: pay rent, finish the flashlight, offer fair fees on Eggotchi, keep talking after the last repair request. Full route maps live on endings.

Mechanical excellence is not the arc

A perfect clean with a cruel price can still fail a character route. Pair bench skill from the repair guide with the social levers below.

The first social boss is also your landlord.

Rent is both systems and story

Skipping envelopes is how you unlock Bankrupt on purpose. Paying on time keeps the lights on and keeps Hashimoto willing to talk about the shop’s past — the kind of talk secret-leaning routes care about without this page naming the drawer contents.

Do not confuse landlord pressure with walk-in greed

Hashimoto will needle your prices. Anonymous Marketplace flips and cold walk-ins are where you claw margin back. Named landlord beats are relationship fuel — treat them like that.

Once rent feels automatic, the upstairs and street cast start stacking.

Baketsu — neighbor first, mystery second

Official survey notes called Baketsu a favorite in tests. Age band late teens–early 20s, Scorpio, omurice fan, Katamari Damacy enjoyer, food-delivery-label collector. Community achievement notes tie home invites and a watch discovery to paths labeled toward Ronin / Ghost in the Frame style unlocks — if you invite the wrong person first, you can block a condition. When an invite prompt appears, decide with your ending goal in mind and save beforehand if you are achievement hunting.

Haruhi — help without a lecture

Community guides gate a Melancholy-linked path behind practical kindness: provide lodging when asked, finish a tourist-linked repair, and talk after her last repair request. You do not need the ending name to execute those verbs.

Sakamoto — friendly does not mean harmless

He jokes, tips into the jar culture, and still investigates break-ins. Dialogue about neighborhood incidents can pull Hashimoto into the frame — answer carefully if you are steering toward warmer shop endings. Donor Marketplace advice he gives is mechanically correct: seller ratings lie.

Courier and Eggotchi faces widen the cast next.

Eggotchi jobs are relationship tests

Yui and Yamato both orbit the pet device. Restoring hidden family data versus doing a cold board swap is the difference between a transaction and an arc. If a child brings a “living” gadget, price like a human.

Rival pressure is late-shop language

Takumi cares about proving an old masters competition mattered after the prior master vanished. You will meet him as commerce and pride, not as a DPS check. Keep repairs clean; let ending pages explain sell-shop vs stay-shop forks.

Now collapse talk + price into a decision table you can run mid-shift.

Price is a dialogue option with yen attached

Delivery pricing is part of the character system. The money guide tells you how to stay solvent; this page tells you whom not to nickel-and-dime while you do it.

Ready for ending conditions without the cutscenes

The next section lists spoiler-light conditions that community and Sportskeeda-style guides associate with warmer routes. Exact CG names stay on endings.

Community route shape (hours, not spoilers)

Public guides roughly bucket default (~8–10h), good (~10–12h with multiple positive arcs), secret (good plus extra hidden moments), and bad (ignore arcs, profit-first). Your clock will vary with cleaning skill and Marketplace addiction.

Where to go next

Translate these conditions into named routes on the endings page, then sweep related Steam unlocks on achievements. Use spoiler channels on Discord if you need line-by-line confirmation.
