The confirmed repair loop
Official Steam information describes a clear cycle: receive a device, take it apart, clean it, replace faulty parts, and assemble it again. Spare parts can be found through an in-game Y2K-style web browser, while jobs arrive both in person and online.
- 01
Inspect the device and its parts before buying anything.
- 02
Disassemble carefully and keep track of component placement.
- 03
Clean the device and identify faulty components.
- 04
Source only the parts the job actually needs.
- 05
Reassemble, check your work, and return the order.
What to prioritize
Treat the early game as training for recognition and process. Learn where components belong, what each tool does, and how the order system presents requirements. The source library does not yet support exact profit formulas, marketplace thresholds, or a universal shopping order, so this guide does not present them as facts.
Story choices matter
Customer conversations are not just flavor. The official store page confirms a branching storyline and multiple endings shaped by choices. If you want a spoiler-light first playthrough, pause before major dialogue decisions and use the achievement section only when you are ready.
