Is Dressmaker free?
The full Steam release is paid. The itch.io prototype is offered as a separate name-your-price download. For the prototype, choose Download Now on itch.io and follow its payment/download options. Buying the Steam game is a separate purchase.
Which platforms are available?
The full release lists Windows and macOS requirements on Steam. Prototype 0.5.5 also has a Linux archive on itch.io. Mobile and Switch ports were announced as plans on September 21, 2026; the official posts checked on October 3 give no release dates for them.
How long is the story?
The developer’s price announcement estimates approximately 35 hours for story commissions, excluding off-the-rack dresses. Your pace and time spent designing will affect the length.
Why does the Mac prototype show a warning?
The developer says the prototype is not notarized. Consult the Mac issues section on its official itch.io page for instructions specific to that build.
Where can I report bugs or ask for help?
The official itch.io page links the developers’ Discord, and the Steam community hub has a Discussions section. Include the build version, operating system, steps to reproduce the problem and a relevant save file when reporting a bug. State whether you use Steam or Prototype 0.5.5. In their October 1 announcement, the developers said they were improving bug-report communication after a surge of feedback; replies may take time.
Can I play Dressmaker in a browser or on mobile?
The official storefronts currently offer desktop downloads, with no browser, Android or iOS build listed. Mobile and Switch ports are planned without announced release dates. The planned online design challenge is a feature for sharing and voting on dresses, not an announced browser edition.
