Understanding the Relationship
How these two games are connected
Official Statement from Developer Buwu
According to LoveMoney's official itch.io page, Buwu explicitly describes the game as: "A fan-made sequel to BloodMoney, where you can not only pet Harvey, but also kiss, touch and even fuck him."
This establishes LoveMoney as an unofficial fan creation inspired by SHROOMYCHRIST's original work, not an authorized continuation of the official BloodMoney storyline.
The BloodMoney Series Timeline
BLOODMONEY!
Original game by SHROOMYCHRIST Studios. Horror clicker with violence theme.
LoveMoney
Fan-made sequel by Buwu. Reimagines the concept with intimacy theme instead of violence.
BLOODMONEY 2 (Human Expenditure Program)
Official sequel by SHROOMYCHRIST Studios. Shifts from hurting Harvey to caring for him.
⚠️ Important Clarification: LoveMoney is not the official BLOODMONEY sequel. The official continuation is BLOODMONEY 2 (also called Human Expenditure Program), released by SHROOMYCHRIST Studios in September 2025. LoveMoney is an independent fan creation with a completely different theme.
Core Gameplay Differences
How the mechanics diverge between the two games
B BLOODMONEY!
Theme: Violence & Pain
Players earn money by inflicting increasing levels of physical harm on Harvey Harvington. The game explores themes of desperation, greed, and moral decay through escalating violence.
The 7 Items (All Verified)
- 🪶 Feather$100
- 💉 Needle$500
- 🔨 Hammer$1,500
- ✂️ Scissors$3,000
- 🔥 Match$6,000
- 🔪 Knife$10,000
- 🔫 Gun$20,000
Mechanic: Each item causes progressively more severe harm to Harvey, increasing click value but also moral weight.
L LoveMoney
Theme: Intimacy & Romance
Players earn money through increasingly intimate romantic and sexual interactions with Harvey. The game explores themes of consent, boundaries, and moral compromise through escalating intimacy.
Items (Limited Verification)
Only the Feather has been verified across multiple sources. Other reported items lack sufficient confirmation:
- ✓ Feather - $100 (Verified)
- ⚠ Brush, Massager, Oil, etc. (Unverified)
Mechanic: Items facilitate romantic/sexual interactions, affecting relationship status and ending paths. See our items guide for details.
The Fundamental Difference
While both games share the same $25,000 goal and Harvey Harvington character, they explore completely opposite moral dilemmas. BLOODMONEY asks "How far will you go with violence for survival?" while LoveMoney asks "How far will you push intimate boundaries for money?" This thematic shift transforms the entire gameplay experience despite similar clicker mechanics.
Ending Systems Compared
How each game's choices lead to different conclusions
B BLOODMONEY! — 3 Main Endings
Good Ending
Trigger: Stop immediately after reaching $25,000 using only minimal-harm items (hands, Feather, optionally Needle and Hammer).
Outcome: Harvey waves goodbye as you leave. You get your surgery with minimal guilt. The "good" label is somewhat ironic given you still caused some harm, but it's the least violent path.
Normal Ending
Trigger: Purchase all items including the Knife, but DO NOT buy the Gun. Use Knife to reach $25,000.
Outcome: You severely mutilate Harvey and drive away. Later, you face trial for grievous bodily harm. Harvey testifies against you from the witness stand.
Bad Ending
Trigger: Purchase the Gun ($20,000) and shoot Harvey.
Outcome: Harvey begs for his life before you shoot him. You flee with the money. The game reveals you never actually needed the operation—this was purely about greed. You face murder charges with Harvey as witness.
L LoveMoney — 2-4 Main Routes
LoveMoney's ending system is less clearly documented than BLOODMONEY's. Based on community reports and our own fact-checking, we can confirm 2-4 main ending routes exist, likely determined by:
- • Whether you purchase the "Soap" item (verified as a key decision point)
- • How quickly you reach $25,000 (aggressive vs. slow approach)
- • Whether you purchase the "last item" in the shop
- • Harvey's relationship status throughout the game
Note: Claims of "14 endings" found on some fan sites have been investigated and cannot be verified through reliable sources. For detailed ending information, see our complete endings guide.
Content Warnings & Ratings
Understanding what to expect from each game
BLOODMONEY! Content
- ⚠ Violence: Graphic depictions of physical harm including stabbing, burning, shooting
- ⚠ Blood & Gore: Visual representation of injuries and mutilation
- ⚠ Psychological Horror: Dark humor, moral dilemmas, disturbing themes
- ⚠ Death: Possible murder in the Bad Ending
While there's no explicit age gate on BLOODMONEY's itch.io page, the violent content clearly makes it inappropriate for minors.
LoveMoney Content
Official warnings from developer Buwu:
- ⚠ Sexual Intercourse: Explicit sexual content
- ⚠ Sex Toys: Referenced and depicted
- ⚠ Blood & Abuse: Some violent content remains
- ⚠ Physical Injury: Harm depicted in context

LoveMoney has an explicit 18+ age verification gate on its itch.io page. The developer clearly marks mature content.
⚠️ Both games are strictly 18+ content. Neither should be accessed by minors. If you're under 18, do not play either game. Parents and guardians should be aware these are not typical "cute clicker games" despite any pastel aesthetics.

💡 Pro Tip: Play Both!
Many players recommend experiencing BLOODMONEY! first to understand the original concept, then playing LoveMoney to see how Buwu reinterpreted those themes. The two games together provide an interesting commentary on how the same core premise (desperation + Harvey + $25,000) can lead to completely different narratives based on whether the mechanic is violence or intimacy.
