Open Steam for the current local price and any discount. This independent website does not sell keys or claim to offer a free copy of the paid release.
Three editions to keep separate
| Edition | Where to find it | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Browser play | Our homepage play window | A separately hosted build. Its full content range and saves are not verified. |
| Full release | Official Steam store | The commercial Windows/macOS game and its listed Steam features. |
| Earlier prototype | Developer itch.io page | An earlier downloadable prototype, with its own versions and installation notes. |
What is in the full release?
The official description includes fabric selection, pattern cutting, sewing, decorating, client commissions and off-the-rack dress sales. The developer’s pricing announcement describes over 150 dress pieces, over 450 fabrics and over 350 accessories, with approximately 35 hours of story commissions excluding off-the-rack dressmaking.
Dress pieces means garment components, not 150 commissions. Those are developer descriptions of the commercial game, not confirmed counts for the browser play window.
Is browser play the full game for free?
That has not been established. The play window lets you access the hosted browser build without purchasing the Steam release through this website. It should not be described as all of the paid game’s content being available for free.
Where should I ask for game support?
Use the Steam discussion board for the Steam game and the developer’s itch.io page for prototype-specific questions. Include the edition and platform so that advice for another build is not mistaken for a fix.
