The ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs device index begins with categories, not an invented catalogue. Steam confirms nostalgic devices inspired by consoles, handhelds, phones, cameras, music players, and home appliances, plus officially licensed Atari consoles. Those categories are enough to organise a first visit to the shop. They are not enough to claim every model, part, or unlock condition, so this page explains how to build a trustworthy entry when the game supplies more evidence.
Begin with the category
When an order arrives, classify the object by what the game shows. A console or handheld suggests a game-device history; a phone or camera may carry a more personal customer context; a music player or appliance broadens the kind of work the shop accepts. Keep the category exactly as displayed rather than replacing it with a real-world brand assumption.
Category is a navigation aid. The repair process may share a broad shape across devices, but the individual interaction can differ. The official loop names disassembly, cleaning, faulty-part replacement, and reassembly; it does not say that every category uses the same number of steps.
Record a device entry
For each verified model, record the display name, category, first observed date, platform, game state, and the job in which it appeared. Add the repair stages the game visibly uses and a short note about the customer’s request. Do not publish a component list unless the game exposes it or an official source names it. A screenshot can support recognition, but it does not prove a complete parts diagram.
Use an evidence label: Official for the Steam description or a developer announcement, In-game verified for a direct full-release observation, Community corroborated when independent current reports agree, and Needs live testing when the item or behavior remains uncertain. This makes the index useful even while the game is new.
Atari and licensed consoles
Atari consoles have an explicit official basis. Steam says they are officially licensed for ReStory. Keep that statement separate from the identity of any particular model. If the released game shows an Atari 2600, 2800, or another name, cite the direct game screen or an official announcement for that model. Do not infer a catalogue from the existence of the licence.
The same rule protects the surrounding device pages. A real Atari teardown, a retailer listing, or a fan-made identification can help a researcher recognise an object, but it is not evidence of the game’s repair order. The index should answer what the player sees in ReStory, not how to repair a physical console at home.
Search and link relationships
Use canonical entries for one model and link category synonyms to them. A page titled with “console repair” should not duplicate a device page if it answers the same intent. Instead, connect the model to Repairs for the bench sequence and Shop for the order or part context.
If a device appears in a customer story, link the entry to Story with a spoiler label. Do not expose an ending in an index card. A device can be both a physical object and a narrative trigger, and the two facts deserve different levels of detail.
What not to fill in
Leave unknown fields empty. Do not guess a launch list, rarity, repair duration, price, part supplier, controller action, or unlock chapter from a real product. Do not mix the separately listed Digital Artbook DLC into the base-game device catalogue. The official store page identifies the base-game scope and related content, but it does not publish a complete device database.
Until those details are observed, the best player action is to read the active order and use the device’s own tooltip or workbench state. Record an error with platform and exact message if the model does not appear. That is more actionable than a made-up “known devices” table.
Evidence note
The device categories and Atari licensing are Official. Individual model names, full inventory, part mappings, unlocks, and device-specific controls are Needs live/version testing. Keep each future record tied to Steam AppID 3812600 and its observation date.
