ReStory has six missable achievements. You do not need six full runs: preserve an early Eggotchi hand-in save, a clean save before inviting anyone over, and a save before Hashimoto's final post-concert decision. The number six is this site’s route-planning scope: Origami, three character invitation outcomes, and two final-choice achievements. It is not an official Steam category. A community guide may count eight by including additional one-playthrough accumulators or using another definition of missable. Keep the All 50 tracker unchanged, name the counting rule, and do not treat either total as proof of the invitation mechanism.
Six missable achievements at a glance
The number six is this site’s route-planning scope: Origami, three character invitation outcomes, and two final-choice achievements. It is not an official Steam category. A community guide may count eight by including additional one-playthrough accumulators or using another definition of missable. Keep the All 50 tracker unchanged, name the counting rule, and do not treat either total as proof of the invitation mechanism. The public Steam conditions are short, so this table adds the earliest useful checkpoint and the action that can close the route. Treat the character branches as separate saves until their notifications appear.
| Achievement | Route action | Protect this save |
|---|---|---|
| Origami | Refuse the courier's payment after the child's Eggotchi repair and make the job free | Before the courier payment conversation |
| Melancholy | Complete Haruhi's route, Tourist repairs, and the post-repair conversation on the Haruhi branch | Before inviting or housing a character |
| Ronin | Invite Kaito alone and continue until he discovers the watch | Before any invitation |
| Ghost in the Frame | Invite Baketsu alone and continue until he discovers the watch | Before any invitation |
| Globalization | At Hashimoto's final choice, accept the redevelopment outcome | Before the post-concert Hashimoto conversation |
| Rock for the Ages! | Take the opposite final choice: sell the shop to Takumi and direct the proceeds to the concert | The same final-choice save |
Why this site tracks six save-risk achievements
The number six is this site’s route-planning scope: Origami, three character invitation outcomes, and two final-choice achievements. It is not an official Steam category.

Orders begin at the counter. Read the request, then check the To-Do list before deciding that progress is blocked.
The three-checkpoint plan
Checkpoint A belongs before the courier offers to cover the child's Eggotchi bill. Checkpoint B belongs before the first invitation or stay-over choice involving Haruhi, Kaito, or Baketsu. Checkpoint C belongs after Yamato reports the concert cancellation but before Hashimoto asks what happens next. Keep the current playthrough in a fourth slot. Do not rotate these three anchors into ordinary repair saves.

Invitation-route evidence conflicts: use separate saves as a conservative test
Steam confirms the achievements and their public descriptions, but not one complete invitation script. The body of a current community guide warns against another guest on the Baketsu route, while a later player comment on that same guide reports Haruhi and Baketsu together and keeps Kaito separate. Neither record is a controlled current-build test. Keep an untouched pre-invitation save and test clean branches to reduce risk, but do not present that safety plan as an official unique trigger or proof that Haruhi and Baketsu can never coexist.
Melancholy: preserve the Haruhi route before the last Tourist hand-in
Finish the Tourist repairs tied to Haruhi and complete her follow-up conversation. Keep one save before returning the last relevant repair and a second before the invitation or stay-over decision. If the achievement does not unlock, verify that Haruhi's final conversation actually played before advancing unrelated days. Do not overwrite the pre-invitation anchor until Steam shows Melancholy.
Ronin and Ghost in the Frame: branch from the same save
Steam confirms the achievements and their public descriptions, but not one complete invitation script. The body of a current community guide warns against another guest on the Baketsu route, while a later player comment on that same guide reports Haruhi and Baketsu together and keeps Kaito separate. Neither record is a controlled current-build test. Keep an untouched pre-invitation save and test clean branches to reduce risk, but do not present that safety plan as an official unique trigger or proof that Haruhi and Baketsu can never coexist.
Globalization and Rock for the Ages! need only one final-choice checkpoint
After Yamato explains that the concert will be canceled, Hashimoto presents the ending decision. One option accepts the new development and leads to Globalization. The other sells the shop to Takumi and directs the proceeds to the concert, leading to Rock for the Ages! Save before answering, let the full ending and achievement notification finish, then reload that same checkpoint for the other result.
How to restore a backup without sacrificing the current run
Quit the game before copying or restoring save data. Preserve the whole save folder, not a single file whose role is unclear, and give the backup a route name plus timestamp. Use Steam Cloud carefully: confirm which copy is newer before allowing synchronization. The dedicated Save Location guide links tinyBuild's supported BackupSaveData restore steps for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Steam Deck.
Missable cleanup checklist
Do this audit before a point-of-no-return conversation.
- Origami notification confirmed
- Untouched pre-invitation checkpoint retained
- Haruhi branch saved separately
- Kaito watch branch saved separately
- Baketsu watch branch saved separately
- Pre-final-choice checkpoint retained
- Steam is online before checking notifications
- External backup tested before deleting any slot

Open All 50 ReStory Achievements to mark this unlock, compare its current Steam rate, and see which repair, business, competition, and story goals remain. Keep this focused route page for the decision itself and the master checklist for overall completion.
How to Get All 3 Character-Related Missable Achievements
Use separate pre-invitation branches for Melancholy (Haruhi), Ronin (Kaito), and Ghost in the Frame (Baketsu). A current community route places the safest backup after the final tournament win and before accepting a stay invitation. Keep the existing route table as the source of each branch’s exact choices; do not invite multiple characters on the same test save and assume every quest chain will remain available.
