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-GameFocusImpact on Harvey
FeedingNutritionPhysical health
HygieneCleanlinessComfort level
EntertainmentMoralePsychological state
MedicalHealth crisisSurvival
PsychologicalEmotionalTrust/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

Post-Game Analysis

Review Your Notes

Because there are only two endings, planning a second attempt immediately helps you see the full arc:

  1. Compare your choices against the ending you received
  2. Identify pivot points where different decisions might change outcomes
  3. Plan your second run with opposite moral choices

Safety Considerations

Flag flashing moments for future players: - Note timestamps of intense visual effects - Share warnings with friends or viewers - Contribute to community accessibility guides

Community Engagement
