Debuting last year at the Wholesome Snack showcase from Wholesome Games, the fabulously-named ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs is exactly what it sounds like.

Scratching the same itch as PowerWash Simulator but on a way more personal and delicate scale, ReStory tasks the player with running an electronic device repair shop in 2000s Tokyo. Customers will bring in their game consoles, mobile phones and home appliances for you to carefully disassemble, repair and clean, and put back together.

More than just the tactility of it though, ReStory is also about the people who bring you those devices; learning their stories, offering advice and even impacting their lives with your decisions and responses.

You can currently request access to the playtest, and hopes are that this game lands sooner rather than later in 2026.

Coming from a content creation background that now spans over two decades, Psy cut her teeth on personal video production and community radio. Originally joining the team as a writer and presenter, she added video editing duties to her responsibilities over time and became the longest-standing editor of the irreverent gaming show Tues Your Own Adventure. Psy has worked on many previews and reviews, long-form editorials (either her own, or supporting as an editor), as a frequent quizmaster and more. Praised for the two-pronged attack of her hard work ethic and light-hearted editing style, Psy is otherwise known as a font of retro video game knowledge which has caused her to rack up many quiz wins. Outside of WhatCulture, Psy runs First Aid Spray Podcast - a long-running channel that focuses on Resident Evil in all of it's forms.
