ReStory Licenses Guide: Unlock Every Device
Licenses are the progression system in ReStory — they gate which devices you can repair and drive the story. Here is what we have confirmed about the license chain.Licenses are the spine of progression in ReStory — understanding them early saves you from stalling mid-game. Think of licenses as gates rather than goals: each one opens new work, new devices and new story. Understanding the chain is how you avoid grinding the wrong devices. If a device feels locked, the answer is almost always a license — check this chain before you grind. Think of licenses as the shop's curriculum: each one is a lesson that unlocks the next tier of work and story. If a device ever feels locked, the answer is almost always a license — check this chain before you grind the wrong bench. Think of licenses as the shop's curriculum: each one is a lesson that unlocks the next tier of work, devices and story beats. And because licenses drive the story, every license earned is also a chapter unlocked — progress here is never wasted.
