Source-based status checked October 30, 2026: official Steam features and the mod author’s documentation. Mod release v0.13.3 is separate from the official game build.
The two things people mean by “ReStory multiplayer”
Official Steam store — game features
| Question | What is supported by the sources? |
|---|---|
| Does the official store advertise multiplayer? | The Steam listing currently identifies the game as single-player. |
| Is there a community multiplayer project? | Yes. The public teecil/restory-multiplayer repository describes a two-player fan mod. |
| Is it the same as the Fuzzby update? | No. The official content update and the community mod are separate releases. |
| Is this a tested installation guide? | No. This is a source-based status guide, not a hands-on compatibility review. |
What the author says the mod does
In the documented co-op mode, a guest joins the host's save. The description includes shared shop resources and money, with a separate workbench for each player. Versus is described as a race in which both players receive the same broken device.
Those are author-reported features, not results independently reproduced by ReStory Helper. The project documents a two-player limit.
Mod author README — features, tests and limits
Orders begin at the counter. Read the request, then check the To-Do list before deciding that progress is blocked.
Which release was checked?
The release record checked for this page is v0.13.3. GitHub records its publication as October 29, 2026 at 23:25:31 UTC, which is October 30 at 07:25:31 in UTC+8.
That timestamp identifies this mod release. It does not establish when the project first existed, and it does not indicate a new official game patch.
Important testing limits
The README distinguishes different kinds of testing. It reports automated checks against game version 1.0.033r, while the described two-person internet sessions used 1.0.015r. These statements should not be combined into a claim that every feature has been manually tested on the newest game build.
The author explicitly marks Steam lobby and invitation connections as not tested with two real Steam accounts. Do not assume that a visible Steam invitation option is a verified, reliable connection path.
The README also says the new Fuzzby and PlayMachine controller devices were not included in its automated tests. This page therefore makes no promise that every new device, achievement, order or story state will work correctly in co-op.
Saves and unfinished work
The host's game is the documented authority for the shared session. The author says unfinished work left on the guest's bench is not kept at the end of the day: the next day starts from the host's save, where that device is still in the room. Both players need the same mod version according to the README.
Before considering any third-party mod, preserve an independent copy of the relevant save directory outside the live folder. Do not use your only important route or achievement save as an experiment. This is a precaution, not a guarantee that a backup will resolve every problem.
Where to check instructions and changes
Use the author's repository and release page for current requirements, installation instructions, known issues and updates. Check them again before making changes: this page is a dated explanation, not a live compatibility service.
We do not host the mod installer. A public repository, a release tag or a published checksum is not a security audit. We have not verified Mac, Steam Deck, Steam invitation behavior, or save compatibility through our own play session. For the game folder and backup locations, read Save Location. For the official content release, use the Fuzzby update guide.
Frequently asked questions
Is multiplayer part of the official Fuzzby update?
No official multiplayer feature is established by the sources used here. The Steam store's single-player status and the separate fan project should not be merged.
Can I use this page as proof that Steam invites work?
No. The author specifically identifies that connection route as untested with two real accounts.
Does the mod support more than two players?
The checked README documents two players. This page does not claim larger sessions.
Should a multiplayer problem go to the game's normal repair guide?
First identify whether it occurs in the unmodified game or only with the mod. For a mod-specific problem, consult the author's issue and documentation process rather than treating it as an official gameplay bug.
Other ReStory mods
For workshop automation, tip multipliers or time controls, open the ReStory mods directory. Those projects serve different tasks; the co-op instructions on this page are not a setup guide for every loader or plugin.
