Blood Money: Tips, Tricks, Cheats

Blood Money

By the power of your blood, you and your spectral allies will seize control of your crime family! "Blood Money" is an expansive 290,000-word interactive novel by Hannah Powell-Smith, an entirely text-based adventure devoid of graphics or sound effects, fueled solely by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

When your cousin ruthlessly murders the city's most notorious crime boss—your own mother—a brutal power struggle erupts across the criminal underworld. As your sisters Octavia and Fuschia vie for control, you alone in the family possess the blood magician's power to summon and command ghosts. They hunger for your blood; if it's blood they want, then blood they'll have. Will you rise to take over the family business, remain loyal, carve your own path, or defect to a rival gang?
