🎮 BEGINNER & STRATEGY GUIDE

How to Play BLOODMONEY!

Everything you need to understand the dark clicker mechanics, tool progression hierarchy, moral consequences, and ending routes.

🎯The Core Objective: A $25,000 Medical Dilemma

In BLOODMONEY, you are trapped in a medical debt crisis requiring exactly $25,000 for emergency surgery. Your only source of income is Harvey Harvington. Every click produces revenue, but also inflicts psychological and physical toll. Your challenge is balancing survival speed against human empathy.

Step-by-Step Gameplay Walkthrough

Follow these core principles from your first click to the final credits roll.

01

Master Basic Clicking & CPS Rhythm

BASIC CONTROLS

Click anywhere on Harvey using your mouse or touchscreen to extract your first dollars.

  • Left-click on desktop or tap on mobile devices to earn initial funds ($1 per click with bare hands).
  • A sustainable rhythm of 5~7 Clicks Per Second (CPS) is ideal for consistent cash accumulation without rapid wrist fatigue.
  • Watch Harvey expressions and dialogue closely—subtle visual cues reflect his emotional and physical state.
02

Evaluate Equipment in the Medical Shop

UPGRADE SHOP

Spend accumulated cash to unlock higher revenue multipliers per click.

  • Purchasing upgrades multiplies cash output per click, dramatically reducing total clicks to reach $25,000.
  • The Feather ($2/click) offers a lower-harm early route, but Good Ending eligibility is determined by stopping before the Scissors.
  • Escalating tools (Needle at $4/click, Hammer at $8/click, Scissors at $16/click) accelerate income but change the route available to the player.
03

Understand the Irreversible Moral Lockout

CRITICAL ROUTE WARNING

The Scissors are the creator-confirmed route cutoff.

  • Creator SHROOMYCHRIST has clarified that you can progress through the Hammer and still receive the Good Ending. The Scissors are the point that locks the Normal Ending.
  • For the Good Ending, stop before the Scissors. A Hands-and-Feather run is an optional lower-harm challenge.
  • If speed is your only priority, aggressive players purchase Scissors or later weapons to minimize total playtime, at the expense of locking the Normal or Bad Ending.
04

Reach $25,000 and Trigger Your Ending

THE FINALE

The game concludes the exact moment your bank balance hits the $25,000 surgery goal.

  • Good Ending: Stop before the Scissors → the creator-confirmed Good route remains available.
  • Normal/Bad Ending: Scissors or later weapons utilized → Escalating trauma and irreversible consequences.
  • Meta Walk Away: Closing the game prior to completion → Refusing to participate in systemic cruelty.

Expert Tips for First-Time Players

💡Decide Your Ending Before Spending

Do not progress casually. The Hammer remains Good-ending compatible, but the Scissors lock the Normal Ending.

💡Use Two Fingers for Touchscreens

On mobile or trackpads, alternating index and middle fingers easily doubles your clicking frequency from 4 to 8 CPS.

💡Check the Surgery Calculator

Use our interactive tools page to calculate your exact time required based on your clicking speed before committing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do you save Harvey in BLOODMONEY and get the Secret Good Ending?

Creator SHROOMYCHRIST has clarified that the Good Ending remains available through the Hammer. Stop before the Scissors, which lock the Normal Ending.

Can I play BLOODMONEY unblocked in my browser?

The official itch.io release is a Windows download. This site embeds a third-party browser adaptation, but its availability and device compatibility are controlled by the host and are not guaranteed.

Does BLOODMONEY support autoclickers?

The official release page does not document autoclicker support. Automated input may skip reactions or behave differently between versions, so this guide does not recommend a fixed CPS threshold.

How long does a full playthrough take?

Playtime depends on click speed, purchases, and route. Use the calculator as an estimate based on your own inputs rather than a guaranteed completion time.

How do I restart or reset my choices?

Restart behavior depends on the version you play. For the third-party browser adaptation, use any in-game restart option or consult the host instructions rather than assuming this site controls its save data.
