BLOODMONEY 2 Session Planning
Planning Your BLOODMONEY 2 Experience
Turn the official feature list into a practical checklist so you can dive into Human Expenditure Program without surprises. This guide covers everything from setup to post-game analysis.
Before You Start
Time Allocation
- ⏱️ Set aside 30–40 minutes for a complete run
- The average session documented by SHROOMYCHRIST is ~30 minutes
- Add 10 minutes for setup and note-taking
- Budget 60-90 minutes if planning to see both endings
Environment Setup
Lighting: - Dim the room or enable comfort lighting - Flashing effects are built into the presentation - Consider amber/warm lighting to reduce eye strain
Audio: - 🎧 Headphones recommended for immersive experience - Moderate volume (you'll need to hear subtle audio cues) - Test audio before starting
Recording/Streaming: - Decide if you want to stream or record - The two endings make back-to-back runs worthwhile - Set up OBS or recording software in advance
Pre-Game Checklist
- [ ] 30-40 minutes of uninterrupted time
- [ ] Room lighting adjusted
- [ ] Headphones/speakers tested
- [ ] Recording software ready (if applicable)
- [ ] Notepad for tracking choices
- [ ] Water/snacks nearby
- [ ] Comfortable seating position
During the Run
Gameplay Strategy
1. Rotate Mini-Games
There are five mini-games, and each nudges Harvey's wellbeing differently:
| Mini-Game | Focus | Impact on Harvey |
|---|---|---|
| Feeding | Nutrition | Physical health |
| Hygiene | Cleanliness | Comfort level |
| Entertainment | Morale | Psychological state |
| Medical | Health crisis | Survival |
| Psychological | Emotional | Trust/endings |
Pro Tip: Cycle through them early to establish a baseline. Don't focus on just one until you understand the system.
2. Read the Logs
- 📝 Terminal updates foreshadow which ending you're tracking toward
- Pay attention to Harvey's responses to your choices
- Note any changes in dialogue tone
3. Track Pivotal Choices
Keep a simple notation system: - ⭐ = Major decision point - ❓ = Unclear outcome - ✓ = Positive Harvey response - ✗ = Negative Harvey response
Example Notes:
15:00 - Fed Harvey protein bar (✓) 18:30 - Skipped hygiene routine (✗) 22:00 - Major dialogue choice about medication (⭐)
After the Credits
