''Summertime Saga'' content benefits from easy‐to‐follow {{strong|walkthroughs}}. The prologue is a quick and compulsory introduction to the gameplay on the first day; it features the backstory of the main character and the protagonists of the game. The primary narrative arc continues over the following weeks and comes in two parts. Most of the characters’ routes open the day after the prologue, but a few require preliminary completions.

Threatening shadows hover over home and claim for an outstanding debt. As the blows are falling, new allies join forces. But trust must be deserved and demands some {{em|in-kind}} contribution; much to [[Maria]] and [[Josephine]]’s convenience.{{clear}}
  
Most of this game is about interacting with the different characters, and the dialogue is the main way that the game gives you hints about what you can do next. Even when the MC is just talking to himself, pay attention and act on any hints you get.

Try visiting different locations on the map, and look all around for objects you can interact with and additional screens to explore.  Things you can click on will become highlighted when you move your cursor over them, so move your mouse all over the place.

Try revisiting a character or location at a different time of day to see if anything changes. The biggest differences happen between daytime and nighttime, but you should also pay attention to the difference between morning and afternoon. See the next section ("Time") for more details.

{{note|Main article: [[Jenny’s route]]}}
  
Also check in every once in a while to see if anything has changed based on the day of the week or other events you have completed.
+
If Jenny has always regarded the main character as a loser, she’s suddenly interested in his aptitude in front of the camera. A great motivation to further the relationship between the housemates. The question is how far will she go to entice subscribers?{{clear}}

'''Come back with money'''

{{note|Main article: [[Debbie’s route]]}}
  
The solution to many of the game's "puzzles" is to buy a thing from the mall, and that means you're going to have to take on some [[Jobs|summer jobs]]. Starting out, you'll be stuck working on your Diane's garden for ~$90 per mini-game.  But over the summer, you can develop your relationship with Diane to get a raise, or invest $500 in a delivery bike so you can work for the pizzeria. Until the very last stages of the game you always need money for something, so if you find yourself with a "free" morning or afternoon, go earn some!
+
Having a housekeeper always lightly dressed is bound to give the main character some naughty ideas! But Debbie doesn’t mind. Actually, with a touch of stimulation, she could well take the matter into her own hands.{{clear}}

Another common barrier between you and tits is low stats. To build your strength, get a spotting buddy and lift weights at the gym. To increase your dexterity, go to the gym and follow Master Somrak's instructions. To earn more charisma, complete rap battles in the park at night. And to increase your IQ, you can sit through Mrs. Bissette's class or play the Maze Runner game on your computer.
+
[[Diane]] doesn’t do things halfway. So when she sets her mind on developing milk business, it’s on her faithful gardener that she’s looking at. Because there are not only vegetables that are {{em|long}} and {{em|hard}}.{{clear}}

In this game, each week is split into seven days (normal calendar: Mon-Sun), and each day is split into four periods of time (Morning, Afternoon, Evening, and Late Night).

Life is made of choices. Should the main character focus on the gorgeous neighbor? Share [[Tammy]] with his best friend [[Erik]]? Or should he invite his schoolmate [[June]] instead? You will discover it by exploring all the branches inside this route.{{clear}}

 +
{{note|Main article: [[Ms. Bissette’s route]]}}
  
The exact day of the week rarely matters - basically, just make a note if a character or message tells you that something will happen on a specific day of the week. (When using the telescope to peep on Mia in the morning, the MC will only say she's getting ready for church on Sunday. However, her family is at church both Saturday and Sunday morning.)

The main character doesn’t hesitate long before signing up for the French tutoring classes. After all, {{nowrap|[[Ms. Bissette]]}} is someone who puts her body and soul into the education of students. Well, mostly her body.{{clear}}
 +

But weekends (Saturday and Sunday) ARE quite a bit different from the rest of the week. During weekends:
+
=== Mia and Helen’s route ===
* School is closed. So other students will be somewhere else (e.g. Erik will be home all day), and any quests that involve going to school will have to wait until Monday.
+
[[File:Mia and Helen’s route icon.jpg|alt=Mia and Helen’s route icon|frameless|border|right|upright|link=Mia and Helen’s route]]
* Similar to above - if a character says they can't do something because "you have to go to school", they may be more receptive on weekends (or just later in the day).
+
{{note|Main article: [[Mia and Helen’s route]]}}
* The church is active in the morning
 
* The car dealership is closed
 
* Mayor Rump has a stage and podium set up at the mall
 
* Lots of little dialogue differences 
 
* At least one secret event can't happen
 
  
'''Time of Day'''
+
It’s not all roses in [[Mia]]’s well‐ordered life; [[Helen|mother]] doesn’t let her breathe and [[Harold|father]] has given up hope. To make things worse, now a nun is sticking her nose into the family’s issue. The main character must decide which side he is, Mia’s or {{nowrap|[[Sister Angelica]]’s}}.{{clear}}
