What is LoveMoney?
LoveMoney is a clicker-style RPG built around one generous character: Harvey Harvington. You need $25,000 for a life-saving surgery, and Harvey is willing to give you the money — one click at a time. The game never hides the transaction. What it watches instead is how you treat the person on the other side of it.
1. Understand the goal
Every run has the same destination: $25,000. You cannot lose in the traditional sense, because clicking always earns money. What changes from run to run is the state of your relationship with Harvey when you get there. Treat that relationship as your real score.
2. Learn the click loop
The core loop is simple: interact with Harvey, earn money, spend it in the item shop. Early on, your options are limited and harmless. As your balance grows, the shop starts offering gifts that change the tone of your interactions. Nothing forces you to buy them, which is exactly the point.
3. Watch how Harvey responds
Harvey reacts to what you do. Back off when he seems uncomfortable and the run stays warm; push past a flinch and something small but real is lost. The game gives you all the information you need — you just have to look at him instead of the counter.
4. Finish a run before reading guides
Our advice: play your first run blind. See which ending your natural habits produce. Then read our complete endings guide and our item-by-item explanation to aim for the routes you missed. A blind first run makes every guide land twice as hard.
