About BloodMoney Harvey
In the world of indie gaming, every once in a while a game comes along that isn’t meant to kill time, but to haunt you. BloodMoney Harvey (often shortened to BloodMoney) by developer SHROOMYCHRIST packs a punch. It’s dressed in a cute pastel color scheme, but underneath lies a deeply human story about corruption, despair, and the true cost of money.
Who Is Harvey? Tragedy Or Sacrifice?
Harvey Harvington is the centerpiece of Bloodmoney Harvey, but he himself is the biggest mystery. Why would a stranger sit motionless on the side of the road, willing to endure pain just to pay for your clicks?
It’s been theorized that Harvey is actually the embodiment of a desperate bargain – a “sacrificial lamb” forced to exist so that others can survive. Some players even believe that he is a reflection of the player: the more you hurt Harvey, the more you find yourself consumed by greed. A more pessimistic explanation says that Harvey isn't real at all; he's only an illusion, a mental retribution for someone who sold their humanity for money.
No matter how you look at it, Harvey is still a scary mystery that makes players ask themselves, "Are you really hurting him, or are you torturing yourself?"
Gameplay And Choices Lead To 3 Endings
In Bloodmoney Harvey, you just need to click on Harvey to receive money, then use that money to buy upgrades to increase the speed of earning. However, each decision you make will gradually shape the ending you receive:
- Good Ending: If you stop early, not necessarily reaching the $25,000 mark, Harvey still survives in a less damaged state. This is the ending for those who choose to keep some humanity.
- Normal Ending: You earn enough money for the surgery by upgrading moderately. Harvey goes through a lot of pain, but both you and him survive until the end, leaving a feeling of in-between, hard to name.
- Bad Ending: When you make the most of your cruel tools, constantly torturing Harvey until he exceeds $25,000, the story reaches a tragic dead end. This is when greed consumes everything, and Harvey becomes the ultimate proof of his downfall.
That's why, despite the simple click gameplay, Bloodmoney Harvey makes you always have to consider: when to stop, how much to upgrade, and whether you are willing to trade your life to achieve your goal.
Upgrade System In Bloodmoney Harvey
In Bloodmoney Harvey, each upgrade not only helps you earn more money but also puts Harvey in more pain. Here’s the creepy balance between good and evil:
Basic Tools – Feathers
Starting out gentle, each click slightly increases your income, but also opens up a longer path to torment.
Syringes & Medical Supplies
When used, you can earn double or triple your money. But Harvey starts to show signs of pain, which adds to the tension.
Hammer, Scissors, Knife
These are the most “cruel” upgrades, allowing you to earn $4, $6, or even $8 with a single click. In return, Harvey’s image gradually deforms, becomes more bloody, and you are forced to face the consequences of your own actions.
Hidden Upgrades
Some replays also reveal surprise tools like matchboxes or other sharp objects. These are often the key to different endings, reflecting your personality and choices.
The payoff: Players can quickly get close to the $25,000 mark, but they also have to watch Harvey change with each level of violence. That transformation is the real “reward”—not money, but a haunting experience that you’ll remember forever.

Conclusion
Bloodmoney Harvey is a game that makes players sit longer with their actions. The repetitive clicks become slow cuts to the conscience, so that each upgrade unlocks a specific benefit while making the frame in front of them increasingly difficult to look at. It doesn't try to be kind, and it doesn't try to disguise how violent it is. Instead, it dares the player to keep going even after they've had enough. The ending that happens is only the natural result of the decisions you've made over time.
