Games Like Dressmaker

Grind herbs, stir the cauldron and sell potions to townsfolk.

The closest cousin to Dressmaker's loop: customers arrive with requests, you craft by hand with physical tools, then price and sell the result from your shop.

Unpack boxes room by room and piece together someone's life.

A wordless story told through the objects you put away. Deciding where each item belongs has the same satisfying, precise feel as laying out a pattern in Dressmaker.

If Dressmaker's clients and their little dramas were your favourite part, this is a whole game about regulars, their requests and their lives.

Heavily inspired by Animal Crossing, with a much deeper crafting and design workshop — a natural next step for players who loved designing in Dressmaker.

A cozy-but-spooky shopkeeping game about reading requests carefully — with a gothic streak Priya would approve of.

Doodle castles and cottages with no goals or pressure.

A pure creativity toy: drag out walls and roofs and the game fills in the charming details. For players who spent longest on Dressmaker's design and decoration stage.

Crafting, farming and cooking wrapped around one of the most moving stories in cozy gaming.
