This ReStory choices guide covers the decisions worth saving before: the free repair, Haruhi's courier story, the Kaito or Baketsu invitation, and Hashimoto's final proposal. You do not need to reload every conversation. Most ordinary replies can be chosen for role-play without blocking the two main endings.
Spoiler-light choice advice
Make a separate save when a conversation involves money, housing, inviting someone to the shop, reporting someone, or changing Akihabara's future. Finish open repairs and return for follow-up dialogue before assuming a route has failed; several results arrive later rather than immediately after the choice.
The official Steam description confirms that customer interactions create branching stories and affect the ending, but it does not publish a complete decision tree. The final ending split is clear; some character-achievement steps below come from player testing and may be affected by earlier conversations.
Final Akihabara choice and both endings
Major ending spoilers: the clearest split comes after Yamato says the concert has been canceled and Hashimoto presents a proposal for Akihabara.
- Choose Takumi's plan, sell the shop, and use the profit to support the concert organizers for Rock for the ages!
- Accept the large development or shopping-center proposal for Globalization
The wording may differ slightly by language. Save before this conversation, choose one outcome, then reload for the other. See the ReStory endings guide for a fuller comparison of the final scenes.
Character choice routes
The official achievement list confirms the achievement names. These are the most useful currently reported choice steps:
Origami
Complete the girl's Eggotchi repair. When the later payment choice appears, refuse the money and treat it as a free repair. Continue the follow-up dialogue; the achievement may arrive with the later origami gift rather than at the first kind response.
Melancholy
Progress Haruhi's repairs, offer her a place to stay, complete the related stranger or tourist sequence, and return after the watch request. During the courier conversation, doubting him is the safer reported route; trusting him may lead Haruhi away with him.
Ronin
Continue Kaito's story and choose the invitation connected to the shop when it appears. Finish his later conversations and wait for the watch event. If another character has already accepted a similar invitation, reload the save from before either offer.
Ghost in the Frame
Complete Baketsu's story and choose his invitation before giving the same opportunity to another character. Continue available dialogue after the choice; the result may not trigger at the counter immediately.
The current community achievement guide is the main source for these character sequences. Use the names and characters shown in your game if a translated line differs from the guide.
Best save points
You only need a few well-placed backups:
- Before choosing free or paid work for the Eggotchi repair.
- Before the housing offer and courier trust question in Haruhi's route.
- Before inviting Kaito or Baketsu.
- Before Hashimoto's late proposal about Akihabara.
End the in-game day before relying on a copied save so the latest progress is recorded. Label each backup by character and decision instead of overwriting every copy with the same filename.
If a route does not trigger
Finish every open repair for that character, advance to the next day, and check the shop again for follow-up dialogue. If the result still does not appear, return to the closest save and change one important decision at a time. Changing several unrelated answers makes it difficult to tell which condition mattered.
For achievement cleanup beyond these story choices, use the ReStory 100% guide. It separates route achievements from shop milestones, repairs, and longer progression goals.
