Blood Money is a "dark clicker" game from developer ShroomyChrist. The game begins with your character needing $25,000 for an expensive, life-saving operation. You meet a friendly man named Harvey Harvington, who offers to pay you $1 for every time you click on him. The premise takes a dark turn as you buy "upgrades" to earn money faster—these upgrades audibly and graphically torture Harvey, who begs you to stop.
How to Play Blood Money
The Premise: The $25,000 Operation
The premise is set: "You're struck with a serious condition and the only treatment available is an expensive operation. $25,000, to be exact."
The Mechanic: Clicking for Cash
The core game loop is simple. The player meets Harvey Harvington in a roadside stall. Every click on Harvey earns $1. The goal is to reach $25,000.
The Temptation: The Upgrade Shop
At $100, Harvey tells the player the "Shop" is open. This is the game's central "choice." The shop offers items that increase the money-per-click, allowing the player to reach $25,000 faster.
The Upgrade Path & Its Consequences
Warning: The "How to Play" guide for this game must also be a warning. It must honestly explain that "upgrading" is synonymous with "torturing". This manages player expectations.
The upgrade list and its consequences are as follows:
- Feather: $2 per click. "Seems cute, right? Wrong."
- Needle: Increases money per click. Harvey's dialogue becomes worried.
- Hammer: Increases money. The player is now actively harming Harvey, who begs the player to stop.
- Scissors: Increases money. Harvey is in "gut-wrenching" pain.
- Matches: Increases money.
- Knife: Increases money. A key item that leads to the "Normal Ending".
- Gun: Increases money. The final item. Buying this locks the player into the "Bad Ending".

FAQ
What is Bloodmoney!?
It is a short, narrative-driven "dark clicker" game from itch.io developer ShroomyChrist. It is a psychological horror game disguised as a "cute pastel" clicker.
Is this game Hitman: Blood Money?
No. This is a common point of confusion. This is the indie horror clicker game featuring the character Harvey Harvington. It is not related to the Hitman or Red Dead franchises.
Who is Harvey Harvington?
He is the friendly man in the stall who offers money for clicks. His voice-acted reactions to the player's choices are the core of the game. The game's sequel, Human Expenditure Program, reveals he has a tragic backstory with a family, making the player's actions in this game even darker.
What is the goal of Bloodmoney!?
The surface goal is to earn $25,000 for surgery. The real goal is a meta-commentary on how far players will go for efficiency, sacrificing morality for in-game currency.
Why is this a horror game?
It is a psychological horror game. The horror comes from your "descent into cruelty" and the "gut-wrenching dialogue" as the player tortures an innocent man.
How long does Bloodmoney! take to beat?
A single playthrough is about 30 minutes. Achieving the "Good Ending" by only clicking can take 15-20 minutes.
What are the mobile versions on the Google Play Store?
A version called "Bloodmoney Clicker" exists on the Google Play Store. However, user reviews frequently report problems with excessive ads, glitches (shop not opening), and caption errors that are not present in the original itch.io version.
How many endings are there? Three or four?
This is a key point of confusion. The original Bloodmoney! by ShroomyChrist has 3 major, distinct endings. You may see "4 endings" or a "True Ending" mentioned online; these are often from fan-made games or parodies (like "Softmoney" or "Lovemoney"), not the original game. This guide covers the 3 canonical endings for this game.
