ReStory has 50 Steam achievements. Most of them follow everyday shop work (repairs, orders, purchases and days on the calendar), so they arrive on their own as long as you keep the shop running. The ones that need planning are the story achievements, the Origami answer to Yamato, and a few that ask you to do something unusual on purpose: skip the bicycle home for a week, stop buying parts for ten days, or let a bill go overdue.
Each table gives the achievement, the description the game shows, and the exact requirement. Where the description is vague, the last column has the real rule. For example, A Place Of Zen and Business Shark say “more than”, but reaching exactly 100 Zen or ¥100,000 is enough.
The five story achievements take at least three playthroughs; they’re collected at the end of the page behind a spoiler block.
Repairs
Two of these need a purchase first: the soldering iron and the reprogramming app.
| Achievement | In-game description | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| First fix! | Repair a device for the first time | Bring the device on your work mat up to Perfect condition for the first time. A device that only Works doesn’t count. |
| How did I do this? | Repair a part using a soldering iron | Repair one part with the Soldering Iron (¥40,000 on the Home Depot site). It isn’t listed at the start. In Episode 2, when Furutsuno comes back for his repaired Atari 2600, ask him about the soldering iron: he says it’ll be in your shop soon, and Buy a soldering iron goes on your to-do list. |
| Big cleaning! | Remove dirt and dust from 100 parts | Clean 100 parts in total. Every part an ultrasonic bath cleans counts separately. |
| Galactic cleaning! | Remove dirt and dust from 1000 parts | Clean 1,000 parts in total. Every part an ultrasonic bath cleans counts separately. |
| Hacking 101 | Reprogram a device for the first time | Reprogram one device. You need the Unlock-ToolKit 2.53.a app (¥90,000 on the Home Depot site). If you don’t own it when Yamato delivers an anonymous package in Episode 6 (a Pokia 3310 someone wants repaired), Buy a hacking program goes on your to-do list. |
| 11001 | Reprogram 25 devices | Reprogram 25 devices in total. |
Stickers
The three sticker achievements share one counter, so they unlock in order. Removing a sticker takes one off that counter, so leave stickers in place once they’re on.
| Achievement | In-game description | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Instant Cool | Apply a sticker to a device | Apply a sticker to any device. |
| Instant Cool-er | Apply 25 stickers | Apply 25 stickers to devices. |
| Sticker Bombing | Apply 100 stickers | Apply 100 stickers to devices. |
Customers and Orders
Origami is the only achievement in this group you can miss, and it comes down to one answer to Yamato.
| Achievement | In-game description | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Origami | Help a child out for free | When you tell Yamato about the girl and her Eggotchi, he offers to pay for the repair. Choose Don’t take the money-kids get free service. He later brings her thank-you gift, an Orizuru, and the achievement unlocks when it appears in your workshop. Picking Take the money and thank the courier loses the gift. |
| Master of the Internet | Accept an order by email for the first time | Accept your first email order. |
| Custom orders available! | Paint a device by a client’s order for the first time | Ship a finished order that included a paint job. 3 story orders ask for one, and email orders can too. |
| Jack of all trades | Complete an order that involves painting, cleaning, repair and hacking | Ship one order whose device needed painting, cleaning, repair and reprogramming. No story order asks for painting and reprogramming together, so watch your email orders: their jobs are rolled at random, and one will eventually list all four. |
| WWW | Complete 25 email orders | Ship 25 email orders. Story orders don’t count. |
| Internet Business | Complete 100 email orders | Ship 100 email orders. Story orders don’t count. |
| First reviews! | Get 5 reviews for your work | Collect 5 reviews in total. Reviews of any star rating count. |
| Getting popular! | Get 25 reviews for your work | Collect 25 reviews in total. Reviews of any star rating count. |
| Best shop in Akiba! | Get 50 reviews for your work | Collect 50 reviews in total. Reviews of any star rating count. |
Money and Bills
Bankrupt is the odd one here: you have to let a bill go overdue on purpose.
| Achievement | In-game description | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Making money! | Sell 5 devices in total | Sell 5 devices to buyers. Pack a repaired device that isn’t part of any order, and a buyer comes to collect it; each collected device counts. |
| Millionaire! | Earn 1 000 000 yen | Earn ¥1,000,000 in total. Every payment you receive adds to it, and spending never takes it back down. |
| Business Shark | Earn more than 100 000 yen in a single day | Take in ¥100,000 in one in-game day. The daily total resets each morning, so save big deliveries and payouts for the same day. |
| All bills paid! | Pay 2 bills | Pay 2 bills. They don’t have to be paid on the same day. |
| Bankrupt | Get an overdue bill warning | Leave a bill unpaid past its due date; it unlocks as soon as the bill is overdue. Pay it right after, because an overdue bill costs you 30 Zen until it’s settled. |
Shopping
Devices and boxes of parts come from the Marketplace, parts from the Packuten parts site, and tools and decorations from the Home Depot site.
| Achievement | In-game description | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Flipper | Buy 5 devices at the marketplace | Buy 5 devices on the Marketplace. Boxes of parts from the same site don’t count toward this one. |
| Garage sale! | Buy 25 devices at the marketplace | Buy 25 devices on the Marketplace. Boxes of parts from the same site don’t count toward this one. |
| Lootbox | Buy a box of parts | Buy a box of parts on the Marketplace. |
| Gambler | Buy 50 boxes of parts | Buy 50 boxes of parts on the Marketplace. |
| Frugal | Do not buy any new parts for 10 days in a row | Go 10 days without buying parts. Parts from the Packuten parts site and part boxes from the Marketplace both restart the count; licenses don’t. It unlocks once the day number is 10 higher than the day of your last parts purchase. |
| Cozy! | Buy something to make the workshop more cozy | Buy any decoration on the Home Depot site. Furniture doesn’t count. The cheapest decoration is VHS Tapes for ¥500. |
| Hands Free | Buy an automatic ultrasonic bath for cleaning | Buy any of the 3 models on the Home Depot site. The cheapest is the Kaiju N3 Ultrasonic Bath at ¥80,000. |
| Twist and turn | Buy a professional screwdriver | Buy the Ratchet Screwdriver (¥11,000) or the Electric Screwdriver (¥55,000) on the Home Depot site. |
| Shredder | Buy a shredder for broken parts | Buy any of the 3 models on the Home Depot site. The cheapest is the Shredder at ¥70,000. |
Licenses
Licenses are sold on the Packuten parts site. Each one lets you repair, buy and sell one device and enter it in assembly competitions. The full price list is below the table.
| Achievement | In-game description | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Official Partner | Buy any license | Get your first license. It unlocks when the license arrives at your workshop, so the Robby license Yamato gives you in Episode 5 for winning the repair master competition counts too. |
| Golden Partner | Acquire 5 licenses | Own 5 licenses. Story gifts count along with the ones you buy. |
| Platinum Partner | Acquire all licenses | Own all 21 licenses: the 20 sold on the Packuten parts site plus the Robby license, which isn’t for sale. Yamato gives it to you, with the Legend of Akiba Trophy, in Episode 5, when he announces you’re the new champion of the Akiba repair master competition. |
| Are you serious? This is absurd! | Buy the most expensive license | Buy the Wertu Signature license, the most expensive one at ¥1,000,000. |
Buying every license that’s for sale costs ¥2,459,000 in total.

| Robby | Not for sale: Yamato’s prize for winning the repair master competition in Episode 5 |
Assembly Competitions
Competitions run in the Akiba Championship app, which arrives by email in Episode 5. A device counts the first time you finish its competition assembly, even if you’re slower than the target time and win no prize money. Finishing the same device again doesn’t add to the count, so spread your entries across different devices.
| Achievement | In-game description | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Promise of Akiba | Win in a device assembly competition | Finish one assembly competition. |
| Star of Akiba | Win in 3 different device assembly competitions | Finish assembly competitions on 3 different devices. |
| Legend of Akiba | Win in at least 1 assembly competition for each device type | Finish an assembly competition on every one of the 29 devices. The app only lets you enter a device you hold the license for, and 21 of them need one, so get Platinum Partner first. |
Days and Habits
The calendar achievements only need time. Akiba never sleeps! asks you to change your routine for a week.
| Achievement | In-game description | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Employee of the Month | Play through 30 days | Reach day 30. |
| Quarterly Report | Play through 90 days | Reach day 90. |
| Akiba Feels Like Home | Play through 365 days | Reach day 365. |
| Akiba never sleeps! | Do not end the day for 7 days in a row | Stop riding the bicycle home. Stay in the shop and let the clock run through the night into the next morning instead. It unlocks once the day number is 7 higher than the last day you ended with the bicycle. |
| Clean Job | Clean the workshop | Get rid of every piece of trash in the workshop by dragging it into the trash can or the shredder. It unlocks as soon as the last piece is gone. |
| A Place Of Zen | Accumulate more than 100 Zen points | Reach 100 Zen. Each decoration adds its Zen when you unpack it (2 to 9 for shop decorations, 10 for the Orizuru), and every item you recycle or shred adds 1. Packing a decoration away takes its Zen back off, and an overdue bill costs 30 until you pay it. |
Story Achievements
These five unlock in Episodes 8 and 9, the last two episodes of the story. Open the block only if you don’t mind spoilers. The Endings guide covers the full route: when each friend offers to move in, what to answer, and how each ending plays out.

Friend achievements
Three friends can move in with you during the story: Haruhi, Kaito and Baketsu. Each one’s achievement needs that friend to be the one living with you, because only they get the watch scene that awards it.
| Achievement | In-game description | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Melancholy | I don’t need no normal people! | Have Haruhi move in with you, then finish the Episode 8 watch scene. At the end of Episode 7, Yamato takes away the Stranger’s IDM ThinkerDad laptop; then Haruhi turns up with the old master’s Nerdio W-91F watch and leaves it with you to repair. The achievement unlocks at the end of the conversation when Haruhi comes back for it. |
| Ronin | It is possible to perfectly fulfill one’s calling as a warrior. | Have Kaito move in with you, then finish the Episode 8 watch scene. At the end of Episode 7, Yamato takes away the Stranger’s IDM ThinkerDad laptop; then Kaito turns up with the old master’s Nerdio W-91F watch and leaves it with you to repair. The achievement unlocks at the end of the conversation when Kaito comes back for it. |
| Ghost in the frame | Eye in the sky looking at you… | Have Baketsu move in with you, then finish the Episode 8 watch scene. At the end of Episode 7, Yamato takes away the Stranger’s IDM ThinkerDad laptop; then Baketsu turns up with the old master’s Nerdio W-91F watch and leaves it with you to repair. The achievement unlocks at the end of the conversation when Baketsu comes back for it. |
Kaito only offers to move in if neither Haruhi nor Baketsu is already staying with you. If two friends said yes, the watch scene goes to Haruhi first, then Kaito, then Baketsu. If nobody moved in, there’s no watch scene at all: the story skips Episode 8 and goes straight to the bulldozers, and you can’t earn a friend achievement on that playthrough.
Ending achievements
The ending is decided in Episode 9, when Hashimoto visits right after Yamato runs in to warn you that the bulldozers have arrived. Hashimoto gives you two menus. The concert option is in both; the mall needs your pro-mall answer twice, first saying it may be for the best, then, when he pushes back, saying mega malls are the future. Your first pro-mall answer isn’t final.
| Achievement | In-game description | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Rock for the ages! | This is the best concert Akiba has ever seen, my dude! | Choose the concert when Hashimoto visits about the bulldozers in Episode 9. After the concert, Kaneko drops by; take the workshop keys from him and the achievement unlocks as he leaves. |
| Globalization | Be assimilated by a mega mall | Side with the mall twice when Hashimoto visits about the bulldozers in Episode 9. After the two-month time skip, Takumi comes back and hands you the Mega Mall Storefront 02 Rental Agreement decoration; the achievement unlocks when you pick Accept reward. |
How many playthroughs
One playthrough gives you at most one friend achievement and one ending achievement. All five therefore take at least three playthroughs: one with each friend living with you, reaching the concert ending in at least one of them and the mega mall ending in another.
