Meet Robyn

Robyn went to college to follow in her parents’ footsteps. With an archaeologist father and an art historian mother, she was so excited to learn about the world her mother loved, to carry on her work in restoring stolen art. But she didn’t know the extent of contested history. The overwhelming weight of stolen history jaded her education, and she returned to her empty home, not knowing what else to do.

Luckily, there was Ava. Ava was always a troublesome kid, but it was nice to have a friend. She offered to teach Robyn, no strings attached. And she never condoned stealing, but Ava understood where she was coming from. She introduced Robyn to people who knew some people who felt the same way.

It’s not stealing if you’re trying to return something to where it belongs. Right?

Restoration is an original video game concept inspired by the stealth mechanics of Thief and the character motivations of Robin Hood and Nico Robin (One Piece) combined.
