In the world of indie games, we sometimes come across small works that make players think long after the screen is off. LoveMoney is such a game – a fan game inspired by BloodMoney, but expanding on a very different aspect: the choice between survival, money and personal connection.

When Life Is Priced By Love And Obsession

The story begins in a dark and tragic way: Our main character (presumably you) is diagnosed with a serious illness and is forced to undergo surgery to maintain life. However, the medical costs are a huge number, far beyond your ability to pay. Stepping out of the hospital in despair, you stumble upon a strange little stall with a handsome, polite man. He introduces himself as Harvey.

And here, Harvey is the key, the "solution" to your financial problems. But in the world of LoveMoney, everything comes at a price. Harvey will help you, but not with regular cash. Instead, he offers a deal that is ambiguous and seductive. You will repay him not with money, but with… interaction.

Not Just A Game, But A Multi-Sensory Psychological Experience

What makes LoveMoney unique and intriguing is the way players interact with Harvey. This is not a typical visual novel or dating sim. It is a mix of a psychological horror story and a strangely intimate… experience.

You don’t just choose dialogue boxes. You will directly interact with Harvey through actions:

Every action, every gesture is counted as a "payment" for your life debt. The more you interact, the less your debt is, but will your soul and dignity remain intact?

Deep Theme Hidden Under The Humorous Shell

Although at first glance, LoveMoney seems to be just a fun "meme" game, underneath it contains a very real satire:

The game puts players in a situation that makes you wonder: Can love and money be separated? Or do they always go together?

Conclusion

LoveMoney is a game that is difficult to define directly: it is both naked and witty, a little bitter but full of experimentation. The rhythm of the gameplay is not complicated, but the way it interweaves money with personal intimacy creates a space that is half real and half unreal, more confusing than comfortable. The character Harvey at the center of the experience is both a savior and a mirror reflecting all desires – a presence that makes every choice weigh more than it appears.
