Similiar games
In BloodMoney!, you’re presented with an unsettling proposition: make $25,000 before time runs out to cover the cost of a crucial operation. The catch? The only way to earn money is by interacting with Harvey Harvington at a roadside stand. Every click on him puts a dollar in your pocket. It begins harmlessly, almost comically simple. But the pace is slow, and soon the game tempts you with options that drastically increase earnings—at a cost Harvey will feel far more than you. What starts as a race against time gradually twists into a personal test of morality.
The Layered Clicker System
The game builds on its base mechanic by introducing tools you can purchase to boost income. At first, it’s a feather—barely harmful, but more profitable than a bare click. Later, the selection escalates to sharp and heavy objects, each upgrade adding another layer of discomfort for Harvey. This change in gameplay transforms a basic clicker into something more morally complex. Your desire to reach the $25,000 target competes with an increasing awareness of the damage being done. It’s a push-and-pull dynamic between urgency and conscience.

Atmosphere and Presentation
Visually, BloodMoney! hides its dark core beneath bright, colorful graphics and cheerful music. At first, it’s easy to think you’re in for a lighthearted game, but these surface elements contrast sharply with what’s really happening. As the tools get more brutal, Harvey’s appearance changes—bruises, cuts, and other signs of injury begin to accumulate. The upbeat soundtrack becomes increasingly unsettling in context, making the player question their choices. This contrast is one of the game’s most effective design tricks, pulling you in deeper even as the tension rises.
Consequences and Multiple Outcomes
The story doesn’t resolve in the same way for every player. There are three main endings, each reflecting your approach to reaching the financial goal. The more restrained route can lead to a relatively “good” outcome, where you achieve your aim without severe harm to Harvey. A more aggressive approach might land you in legal trouble, resulting in the “normal” ending. And then there’s the “bad” ending—where you push violence to its limit, ending Harvey’s life and uncovering a grim post-credits moment. These branching paths give the game replay value and encourage players to reconsider their earlier choices.
Lasting Impact and Replay Potential
Although a single run can be completed in under an hour, BloodMoney! manages to leave a strong impression. The moral questions it raises stay with you after the final click. You might return to see other endings, to experiment with different strategies, or simply to push the mechanics to their limit. It’s a deceptively simple premise that manages to weave gameplay, narrative, and presentation into an experience that is both uncomfortable and compelling. In the end, the game isn’t just about earning $25,000—it’s about confronting the uncomfortable truths hidden in the decisions you make.
