''Summertime Saga'' {{strong|user interface}} is displayed as a HUD in the upper part of the screen. This interface is permanent and only clears during cutscenes and minigames.

Each day is split into four {{strong|times of day}}: morning, afternoon, evening, and late night. A rounded white arrow is at your disposal to skip to the next period, only in rare locations however. Most changes are between the daytime and nighttime periods, but they all work a bit differently. Some differences:
* Daytime versus nighttime screens.
* All locations open morning and afternoon; some locations still open in the evening; many locations closed at late night.
* Quest items may be available only at nighttime, or only during daytime.
* Sneaking into places are done in the evening but no actions are allowed at late night.
* Characters follow a routine; for examples students are at school in the morning and practice their activities in the afternoon.

The characters’ pages help to find out where they are located at a specific moment. Note that these locations may change depending on the route played on.}}

== General advice ==

'''Talk to people! (And when I say talk, I really mean listen!)''' 
Most of this game is about interacting with the different characters, and the dialogue is the main way to receive information about what you should do next. Pay attention and act on any hints you get, even when the main character is just talking to himself.

'''Go places and click on stuff''' 
Explore different locations on the map: look all around for interactable objects and additional screens. Things you can click on become highlighted when you move your cursor over them, so move your mouse all over the place. See {{section link||Map|Location}} for more information.

'''Come back at night (or the next day… or just later in the game)''' 
Revisit a character or location at a different time of day to see if anything changes. The biggest changes happen between daytime and nighttime, but you should also pay attention to the difference between morning and afternoon. Also check in every once in a while to see if anything has changed based on the day of the week or previous events you have completed. See {{section link||Time of day|Day of the week}} for more information.

'''Come back with money''' 
The solution to many game’s objectives is to buy an item from the various shops in the mall, and that means you’re going to have to take on some summer jobs. Until the very last stages of the game, you’ll always need money for something; so if you have some free time during the day, go earn some! See {{section link||Money}} for more information.

'''Level up your stats''' 
Another barrier between you and tits is low stats. Many dialogues and objectives rely on your skills. In order to progress, take some time to train yourself! See {{section link||Stats tracker}} for more information.

== Cheat mode ==

The {{strong|cheat mode}} is designed to make it easier and faster to progress in ''Summertime Saga''. That’s why it’s best suited for returning players. The choice to opt in is proposed only when beginning a new game, it cannot be modified during the game. The changes implemented are:
* The starting money is increased to $999,999 enough to buy all items and finish all [[Walkthrough|routes]].
* The main character’s stats are already maxed, thus allowing the player to ignore all training.
* The majority of minigames can be skipped.
Cheat mode has any effect on the stories except for one scene with Roxxy during the shooting range minigame.

== Cookie jar ==

{{note|Main article: [[Cookie jar]]}}
The {{strong|cookie jar}} allows you to check and replay the animated scenes previously unlocked. It can be accessed from the Main menu of the game. The content is persistent and won’t be erased when you begin a new game.
