ReStory Endings

Two vocabularies you will see online

Community route guides (Default / Good / Secret / Bad) describe the overall tone of your playthrough. Steam achievements name two finale outcomes: Rock of the Ages! (sell the shop to Takumi and donate the proceeds to the concert organizers) and Globalization (accept the shopping-center development). Treat route names as story quality and Steam names as the last click — both matter for completionists.

Why this page uses checklists

Dumping every line of dialogue is how ending pages become spoiler walls. You get Situation → Action tables and task lists instead. Cast biographies and softer context live on characters; missable Steam story unlocks sit on achievements.

Next: the Good vs Secret condition table — the one players actually need before NG+.

Default sits under Good

Clear the main plot without those positive resolutions and you still get an ending — community labels call it Default: bittersweet, hopeful, shorter (≈8–10h). It is not the same as Bad; Bad is the cold rush path where arcs are ignored or mishandled on purpose.

Do not chase Secret on day three

Secret needs time for recurring visits. If you are still learning the bench loop, finish beginner guide and keep talking — the hidden moments appear after the Good cluster, not instead of it.

Knowing the clusters is useless if you chase the wrong customers first. Prioritize the arcs next.

Invite exclusivity is real

Community achievement notes: inviting the wrong person upstairs can burn the watch discovery for Kaito (Ronin) or Baketsu (Ghost in the Frame). Plan one invite target per save if you care about both Steam unlocks — that is a second-playthrough item, not a single-save guarantee.

Pricing is part of the arc

Fair prices on named story customers keep doors open. Squeeze anonymous mail and walk-ins when rent is tight. The money guide covers till rules; endings care that you did not nickle-and-dime every face on the cast list.

When Yamato’s concert news lands, the finale choice is next — that is where Steam names attach.

Route quality vs finale click

You can play kindly all game and still pick Globalization on the last prompt — or rush cold and still sell-and-donate. Completionists who want both Steam unlocks need two finale clicks across saves (minimum playthrough notes from community guides: about three runs for full achievement coverage when missables stack).

Save before Hashimoto talks

If your platform allows a manual bike / day save, park one right before the offer. That is the cheapest way to grab both finale achievements without replaying 12 hours of cleaning.

Bad outcomes are usually decided earlier than this click. The next section is the anti-Bad habit table.

Default is not Bad

If you finished the plot but never dug into the four Good clusters, community guides call that Default — shorter, bittersweet, still a real ending. Bad is colder: mishandled or ignored key customers plus profit-first habits. Do not panic-reload just because you missed one Secret dig; finish Good first.

Community verification

Ending flags and hour estimates still move as patches land (game released 2026-08-06). Cross-check weird locks on official Discord with spoiler tags before you delete a 15-hour save.
