Medium Morality Ending
What Happens:
Harvey is saved but feels conflicted about the methods used. He's grateful to be alive but struggles with what happened between you. The relationship is complicated by mixed emotions.

"I'm alive because of you, but I'm not sure how I feel about what we did..."

- Most common ending for new players

Low Morality Ending
What Happens:
Harvey is saved physically but deeply traumatized by your actions. He feels violated and used. While alive, he's emotionally broken and questions whether survival was worth the cost.
Key Dialogue:
"You saved my life, but you destroyed who I was. Was this really saving me?"
How to Achieve:

- Ignore all moral consequences
- Fastest path but darkest outcome

Failure Ending
What Happens:
Time runs out before you can raise the $25,000 needed for Harvey's treatment. Despite maintaining your morality, Harvey dies due to lack of funds.
Key Message:
"Sometimes good intentions aren't enough. Harvey needed action, not just principles."
How This Happens:
- Refusing to buy any upgrades
- Taking too long with basic clicking
- Prioritizing morality over urgency
- Demonstrates the time pressure dilemma
đ¤ The Philosophy Behind the Endings
LoveMoney presents a complex moral dilemma with no perfect solution. Each ending reflects different philosophical approaches to ethics:
- Deontological Ethics: Some actions are wrong regardless of consequences (High Morality)
- Utilitarian Ethics: The ends justify the means if they produce the best outcome (Low Morality)
- Virtue Ethics: Character and intentions matter as much as outcomes (Medium Morality)
- Tragic Choice: Sometimes there are no good options, only degrees of harm (Failure)
