ReStory internet speed and package choice

What the release-day developer actually confirmed

In the August 6 Steam discussion Internet speed difference?, Misao is marked as a developer and explains that the choice lets you pay more or less as a difficulty scale. This is a release-day reply, rather than a prediction about the future full game.

The December 2025 demo reply remains useful history, but it is no longer the strongest evidence for choosing a package in the released game. Neither developer reply supplies a full price table or promises extra orders for a faster plan.

What release-week players found about weekly bills

On August 10, Steam user Ponton reported checking the game resources and code and finding that the selected tier changes only the weekly internet bill, with no change to computer-screen loading speed. Other players in the same thread describe the extra payment as a small financial handicap.

This is a player-reported inspection of the release-week game. It supports a cost-based choice, but it is not our own gameplay test or a developer guarantee for every later build. A relayed Discord explanation in the thread is also second-hand; the direct Steam developer reply above has a different evidence status.

Which internet package should you choose?

For a first shop, choose the lowest displayed weekly charge if your goal is to leave more money for parts, tools and licenses. A higher charge is reasonable if you deliberately want another recurring expense. The recommendation follows the documented cost difference, rather than assuming that speed creates a more profitable shop.

Read the amount and billing period on your own selection screen. Prices quoted by players do not form a verified table across versions or difficulty choices. There is no established email-order bonus that justifies paying extra solely to get more customers.

1. Compare the weekly charges shown on the package-selection screen.
2. Choose the lowest charge to reduce recurring costs, or a higher charge if you want that extra expense.
3. Confirm the choice before continuing; do not assume an upgrade menu will be available later.

Can you change the internet package later?

Release-week players asked this repeatedly, and one reported being unable to find a place to change it. The discussions checked on October 23 do not document a supported mid-save switching procedure. Treat the opening choice as one to make carefully; this is not proof that every later version makes switching impossible.

If you already picked an expensive plan, the available reports do not show that it blocks story progress or requires restarting. Keep playing if the bill is manageable. Before abandoning a save, check the current in-game menus and official notes for an actual change to this feature.
