Coming in at number four on Steam's global top sellers list is the dress-making newcomer, Dressmaker. Developed by Free Lives' sub-brand, Cozy Lives, this new crafting game has been maintaining a Very Positive rating (95% positive) on Steam since its launch on the 21st.

Garment creation begins with acquiring fabrics including cotton, linen, wool, silk, and velvet. Users sketch designs in a sketchbook, assign colours, and complete the basic layout by applying obtained fabric samples and appliqués.

The cutting process incorporates actual sewing techniques. The placement and cutting methods of the fabric—such as cutting on the bias or aligning with the grain (fabric lengthwise)—determine the final appearance of the output. It also supports the function of assigning different types of fabric to each panel that makes up the garment.

After pinning the cut pieces to a mannequin, full-scale sewing takes place. After selecting the matching thread colour, the developer operates a vintage sewing machine to stitch the pieces of fabric together. Once the sewing is finished, accessories such as buttons, ribbons, and lace decorations can be attached to the clothing to customise its appearance. There are no special restrictions on where to place these decorations.

The finished garments can be delivered to local residents according to specific events or personal preferences. Completing customer requests increases currency and reputation. Alternatively, instead of following specific customer demands, the developer can display self-designed clothes in the shop's storefront window to sell them as ready-to-wear fashion. As a side activity, the developer can also interact with and pet the cute cat appearing in the game.

As of September 22 at 12:00 PM, Dressmaker holds a Very Positive rating (95% positive) on Steam. Positive reviews include comments like, "As someone with sewing experience, the developer made this game really well," "Made three dresses and time just vanished," and "It was the most anticipated game of this year, brilliantly realised as a dress-making game focused on design."

Meanwhile, other titles climbing the Steam global top sellers chart include Silent Hill: Townfall at number three, scheduled for release on the 24th. Graveyard Keeper 2 also jumped into the rankings ahead of its release on the 23rd, while Happy Wheels, a somewhat gory yet massively popular classic flash game, proved the power of nostalgia by debuting at number eight.

On the other hand, the top 20 peak concurrent players on Steam looked nearly identical to the previous day. While peak concurrent players saw a slight overall decrease as the weekend wrapped up, THB: Taskbar Hero maintained relatively steady figures, climbing to 15th place. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth saw its rank rise to secure the 19th spot, while Overwatch slipped out of the rankings entirely.
