Full game, prototype and browser build
The guides describe the full Dressmaker game on Steam, released 21 September 2026 for Windows and macOS. Free Lives' itch.io page says the original prototype "was initially made by Free Lives in about 3 weeks", with "another month or two" of work added in an update, and that it "has a lot of unfinished seams." That prototype, build 0.5.5, is still available there.
