Does the dodge move not have iframes in this game?

[pocbame]

Just trying to dodge the slam attack of the tutorial boss and the dash/dodge move doesn't seem to give me iframes to dodge through the attack. Are you supposed to stay away from it instead?

No, dodging does not give you iframes in this game, you can't magically go though the guys weapon in this game. What you do is dodge before the guy attack and get out of the way, or parry it. First boss is pretty trivial, you can keep close if you are confident you can parry him or slide behind him before he can attack.

As said, it doesn't give you iframes per se, but you can safely slide through enemies when they're winding up for an attack. I guess they turn off their collision and contact damage for a brief moment. With the first boss, you can safely dash through him when he lifts his arm before he swings down.
It takes some getting used to, but the whole game is designed around the movement options the Penitent one has.

Idk why people spreading misinformation here... Dodge has i-frames. But you can't dodge through magical attacks (lazers, magical projectiles, purple shock waves etc).

Also through some enemies. For example, you bounce off the shield wielding enemies or the chargers carrying huge bells.

you have I-frames, but some attacks cant be dodged for some reason, lasers magic and stuff

yo can dodge through some enemies and attacks, but there are many exceptions, the bell dude, shield wearer and the crawling thing spiting fire cant be dodged through, also some attacks can be dodged, all the projectiles, some magic attacks, some charging attacks.
it just depends some attacks can be dodged and some attacks cant, also you cant dodge obstacles and traps

[pocbame]

just gotta say this game is boring af lol, killed 3 mediocre, unchallenging bosses and havent died to anything apart from epic spike traps/pitfalls, why is this game 90% platforming when the platforming sucks

Actually no, you don't have Iframes, it's just your hitbox that becomes smaller; during a dodge the penitent one is considered to be crouching.
