Unraveling the Horrors of Human Expenditure Program (Bloodmoney 2): All Endings Explained

Fans of the disturbing indie horror hit Bloodmoney have been eagerly awaiting a follow-up, and developer ShroomyChrist has delivered with a sequel that is both a prequel and a chilling expansion of the lore: Human Expenditure Program. This new installment dives deep into the tragic origins of Harvey Harvington, revealing the sinister virtual pet simulation that started his eternal torment.

If you thought the first game was dark, prepare yourself. Human Expenditure Program tasks you with caring for a digital avatar of a real person, Harvey, whose consciousness has been uploaded into a program by his own wife, Eun-mi, for one grim purpose: to make money. Every interaction, every mini-game, is designed to be streamed to a paying audience hungry for suffering. Below, we'll explore the gameplay, the various endings, and the gut-wrenching story, all showcased in this complete walkthrough.

Full Gameplay & All Endings Walkthrough

A Sinister Simulation: The Premise

The game opens with a chilling conversation between Harvey and his wife, Eun-mi. He's anxious about a "procedure," and she reassures him everything will be fine. We quickly learn that he's been plugged into the Human Expenditure Program—a simulation where his wife (the player's real character) controls his digital life to earn "bloodmoney" from viewers.

Your task is to manage Harvey's basic needs:

Hunger: Keep his food meter up by purchasing items from the fridge.
Mood: Keep his spirits high by playing games or clicking on him.

However, the more he suffers, the more money you make, creating a twisted moral dilemma that lies at the core of the game's horror.

The Descent into Madness: All Endings Revealed

Human Expenditure Program features multiple endings based on your actions, or lack thereof. Here’s how to unlock them all.

1. The True Ending

This is the canonical ending that leads directly into the events of the original Bloodmoney. To achieve this, you must keep Harvey alive and relatively happy for several days.

Progression: As the days pass, Harvey becomes increasingly self-aware. He starts having nightmares, recalling the pain inflicted upon him in the mini-games, and realizes he is trapped.
The Breaking Point: Eventually, a user reports a "bug" where Harvey gains access to a knife and gets a "Game Over." This makes his wife, Eun-mi, panic. The simulation begins to break down.
The Confrontation: Harvey fully awakens, his avatar becoming decayed and horrific. He confronts Eun-mi through the screen, realizing she has betrayed him for money. In a final act of defiance and despair, he accesses the command prompt and deletes the system files, effectively ending the program and trapping his consciousness in the digital void we see in the first game.

2. The Dead Ending

This is the "bad" ending, achieved through neglect.

Progression: To get this ending, simply fail to manage Harvey's needs. Do not feed him or interact with him.
The Outcome: After a few days, his hunger and mood meters will completely deplete. Harvey's avatar will die from starvation and neglect, resulting in the "Dead Ending." This shows that while his wife's goal was to profit from his suffering, outright killing him was a failed outcome.

3. The Secret Audio Log (Hidden Lore)

Hidden within the game's files is a secret audio recording titled "BLOODMONEY." This is a final message from Harvey, recorded before he was fully consumed by the program. In it, he reveals:

"If you're listening to this, I'm already dead. Eun-mi is a monster... She's been keeping me inside a program, abusing me, gaslighting me. She betrayed me. She stole everything from me: my son, my life, my happiness... You can't let her get away with this. Please. This is my final message to the world. Goodbye."

This hidden gem confirms Harvey's full understanding of his wife's betrayal and serves as his last testament before his tragic fate is sealed.

The Verdict

Human Expenditure Program is a masterclass in psychological horror, building upon its predecessor to create a truly disturbing narrative about greed, exploitation, and the loss of humanity. It’s a must-play for fans of the original and anyone who enjoys indie horror that leaves a lasting impact.
