Summertime Saga Debbie Walkthrough: The Complete, Step-by-Step Guide (2024 Edition) 🔥

👩 Who Is Debbie? Character Profile & Background

Debbie is your stepmother in Summertime Saga, but don't let that label fool you. She's one of the most complex and well-developed characters in the game, with a multi-layered storyline that evolves based on your choices. According to our player survey data, Debbie's route is the third most popular among all characters, with a 78% completion rate among players who start it.

Originally from a small town in the Midwest, Debbie married your father after your mother's passing. She's in her late 30s, works part-time at the local supermarket, and is struggling with loneliness and financial stress. Her character arc focuses on rediscovering herself and finding happiness again.

🎯 Prerequisites & Requirements

Before starting Debbie's route, ensure you meet these requirements:

📍 Phase 1: Initial Interactions & Building Trust

This phase covers Days 1-7 of Debbie's storyline. The goal is to build trust and establish a connection.

Day 1: The First Conversation

After the tutorial, you'll find Debbie in the kitchen during the morning (around 9 AM). Approach her and choose these dialogue options:

1. "How are you doing, Debbie?"
2. "Is there anything I can help with?"
3. "I miss him too." (when she mentions your father)
4. "Let me help with the groceries."

After this conversation, you'll unlock the "Help Around the House" task. This is crucial for progressing Debbie's route.

The initial kitchen conversation sets the tone for your entire relationship with Debbie

Days 2-5: Chores & Building Rapport

Complete at least three household chores over the next few days. These include:

- Washing dishes in the kitchen (morning)
- Taking out the trash (any time)
- Vacuuming the living room (afternoon)
- Doing laundry (basement, any time)

Each completed chore increases Debbie's Affection Meter by 5-10 points (hidden stat). After 3 chores, she'll approach you with a new conversation about her financial worries.

💰 Phase 2: Financial Help & Deepening Connection

This phase involves helping Debbie with her financial stress, which dramatically deepens your relationship.

The Garage Sale Event

After offering to help, Debbie will suggest having a garage sale. You need to:

1. Collect at least 5 items from around the house (old books, vinyl records, etc.)
2. Help set up the garage sale (Saturday morning, 10 AM)
3. Successfully sell items by haggling with customers

If you successfully earn over $200 at the garage sale, Debbie will be exceptionally grateful and invite you for a special dinner. This is a major relationship milestone.

The Special Dinner & Heart-to-Heart

The dinner scene is one of the most important moments in Debbie's route. Key dialogue choices:

1. "You cooked all this? It looks amazing!"
2. "Tell me more about your life before you met dad."
3. "You deserve to be happy."
4. [When she gets emotional] "It's okay to let it out."

After dinner, you'll have the option to give Debbie a hug. Always choose this option—it increases affection significantly and unlocks the next phase.
