▲'''Clarence's Big Chance''' is a platformer made by Pseudolonewolf of [[Fig Hunter]] games. In it, you play as an ugly 35-year-old virgin who lives with his parents. However, recently, through an online dating site, he found a girl willing to date him! This is his titular "big chance", and he can't afford to mess it up. The game revolves around Clarence going through humorously over-the-top adventures to accomplish everyday tasks, such as getting dressed and going to work. Interestingly, though there are lots of things to do and each area is quite large, most of it is optional, and can be sped through quickly if the player so desires. However, how much you explore and what items you obtain heavily influence the outcome of Clarence's date.
The game is split into four main areas; Clarence's house, where he must prepare for the day and find the front door keys to get out; the suburbs, where he must travel to work; the workplace, where, depending on how many tasks he does, Clarence can be either promoted or fired; the city streets at night, where Clarence must buy gifts for his girlfriend; and finally the date itself, which consists of a long [[Dialogue Tree]] revolving around impressing Clarence's girlfriend. Depending on how well you perform, you will receive one of five endings.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Subverted. Some of the NPCs do, and Clarence's girlfriend might, but more often than not, she won't.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* [[Collision Damage]]
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Parodied.
{{quote|
* [[Cool Shades]]: {{spoiler|Clarence can get them if he is promoted to executive.}}
* [[Cyberspace]]
Line 28 ⟶ 27:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Some of the signposts act like this. See also [[Lemony Narrator]], below.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{spoiler|Clarence in the Worst Ending. Subverted, however; he survives due to his [[Super Not-Drowning Skills]].}}
* [[Everything
* [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]: From office supplies to ''water droplets''. Also lampshaded, in both cases.

'''Programmer:''' Whatever maniac decided to give [the office supplies] real, beating, flesh-and-blood hearts was sadly mistaken when he said they'd only cause them to be more loving! }}
* [[Face Palm]]: Clarence's girlfriend will do this if he performs badly enough.
Line 37 ⟶ 36:
* [[The Grotesque]]: Clarence.
* [[Hit Points]]: You can restore them by eating literal hearts. Lampshaded;
{{quote|
* [[Ice Cream Koan]]: One of the dialog choices during the date is "You're like a summer breeze blowing in the wind". Selecting it makes your date think you're poetic.
* [[Interchangeable Antimatter Keys]]: One of the few tropes the game doesn't lampshade.
Line 57 ⟶ 56:
** If you get the best ending, it is actually a reference to the other guy. Clarence himself is the 'Mario' based upon how his sprite moves. The girlfriend also looks a little like Pauline.
* [[Stupid Boss]]: Clarence's boss may well be, given that he talks in chatspeak and that Generic Company in general seems rather incompetent.
* [[Sunglasses
* [[Super Not-Drowning Skills]]: {{spoiler|Actually a [[Gameplay and Story Integration|plot point]] in the Worst Ending.}}
* [[Temporary Platform]]
* [[Understatement]]: Parodied in the Worst Ending. "Clarence was slightly distressed by the outcome of the date."
* [[Wrap Around]]: Some pits will do this. Lampshaded, of course;

* [[You Bastard]]: Parodied.
