Bloodmoney is built around a single confined space and one constant interaction, but within that limitation it manages to create a layered and evolving experience. You begin in a room with Harvey, the only other character in the game, and your task is simple on the surface—earn a specific amount of money. At first, the available actions are harmless and yield small amounts of cash, requiring patience and repetition to make meaningful progress. However, as your total grows, the game gradually introduces new options that can speed up your earnings at a cost to Harvey’s well-being. This slow but deliberate progression forces you to confront the trade-off between time and morality, as every faster method visibly affects Harvey and changes the tone of the game.

Gameplay Structure And Progression

From the beginning, Bloodmoney keeps the player’s focus entirely on Harvey and the goal at hand. The primary mechanic involves clicking to earn money, with new tools or methods unlocking as you accumulate funds. These tools vary in efficiency and in how they impact Harvey. Choosing non-violent actions requires more time and persistence, extending the experience and keeping Harvey unharmed, while adopting damaging methods accelerates the process but carries immediate and visible consequences. Because the environment never changes and Harvey remains in the center of your attention, the emotional weight of each choice builds naturally, without the need for external storytelling or complex settings.

Core Features

The simplicity of Bloodmoney’s design is one of its strengths, as it allows the moral dimension of the gameplay to remain at the forefront:

•         Clicking on Harvey to generate income and unlock new options
•         A progression system tied directly to earnings, with higher-value methods appearing over time
•         A static but purposeful setting that focuses attention on Harvey’s reactions
•         Multiple available strategies that range from harmless persistence to outright harm
•         Distinct endings shaped entirely by the balance between speed and compassion

By presenting these elements without unnecessary distractions, the game creates a self-contained loop where every choice feels personal and consequential.

Endings And Player Choice

Bloodmoney features multiple endings that reflect your chosen approach to reaching the money goal. If you stick with slow, harmless actions, you’ll see an outcome in which Harvey remains unharmed, even if the process takes significantly longer. A mixed strategy, balancing patience with occasional harmful tools, leads to endings that acknowledge both the gains and the costs of your actions. The fastest route—embracing every damaging option as soon as it becomes available—delivers the highest efficiency but produces the most severe consequences for Harvey, cementing a sense of moral responsibility even in a minimalistic game loop. The branching outcomes encourage replaying the game to test different strategies, allowing players to fully explore the consequences of their decisions.
