''What's a girl to do?'' You've been taken to an alternate dimension by your possible identical twin, you have thirty days to learn how to do ballroom dances by taking lessons from an anthropomorphic rabbit, at least five or six {{bishonen}} princes are in love with you ([[VideoGameCrueltyPotential maybe]]), and a pink-haired girl wants to ruin your life. Oh, and you have a flying hamster.

Its target audience is pre-teen girls, but [[PeripheryDemographic it can still be enjoyed by an older audience]].
In summary, you discover that your character (whose default name is Sabrina) has an "other self" in a parallel world who just happens to be a princess... and also happens to stink at dancing. Unfortunately for her, there's a huge ball in about thirty days. You agree to switch places with her and learn how to dance so she won't be embarrassed at the ball.
Congratulations! Now choose from the following princes: [[TokenMiniMoe Vince]], [[KidAnova Cesar]], [[StoicSpectacles Kiefer]], [[BigBrotherInstinct Liam]], [[NoSenseOfDirection Luciano]], or [[NiceGuy Klaus]]. Alternatively, you can just reject everyone and end up [[spoiler:with Tony.]]
Aside from being a DatingSim, ''Princess Debut'' is also a rhythm game. You use the touch screen to drag a purple ball around to the beat of the music.

In each song, you have to reach a certain target score in order to clear the song and advance, with the target score relatively harder to reach with each song. Fail to clear one song and you have to start the whole thing over.
