The down arrow key makes him crouch, allowing him to pass through small gaps, and the up arrow key interacts with props or NPCs. Additionally, The 'M' key [un]mutes the game's audio, 'Enter' opens up the menu and 'Esc' can be used to return to the title screen.

The game has Clarence exploring four large levels in preparation for his date at the Fancy Restaurant, with every level connected to each other through the Extradimensional Hub. Clarence is required to collect coins, items, Chat-up Advice and laptops in order to impress his date, and in the Generic Company Building, he has to find and complete Work Tasks for money and a promotion.

However, enemies and hazards obstruct Clarence's path and damage his four hearts of health, which can be replenished by obtaining Hearts. Enemies can be defeated by jumping or bouncing on them however underwater enemies cannot be defeated and can only be avoided. The game is saved if Clarence turns on a telly or opens a door and enemies respawn whenever he enters a door or respawns himself.

The game features five different endings, which depend on how much Clarence impressed his date at the end. Also, achievements are badges that the player can unlock by achieving specific feats or goals.
