[FLASHING LIGHTS WARNING: PHOTOSENSITIVE PLAYERS SHOULD NOT PLAY]
Meet Your Harvey
Harvey's pink hair and gear-patterned blue eyes remain, but his features have sharpened. As Eun-Mi Harvington, you control him through simple commands: Feed, Play, Pet, Sleep. Each action earns money while keeping him docile.
"Where is my son?" he asks when the system glitches. Memory suppression isn't permanent.

Two Endings
Dead Ending
Let both bars empty. Harvey's code corrupts, program crashes. "Subject expired. Insufficient earnings."
True Ending (Canon)
Survive seven days. Harvey regains full memory on Day 7:
"You kept me here while my body rots in a hospital! You turned me into a COMMODITY!"
He accesses the command prompt:
> DELETE HARVEY.EXE > SUBJECT TERMINATED BY OWN COMMAND
Harvey chooses digital death over remaining Eun-Mi's profitable pet.
The Dark Reality
You play as Eun-Mi, exploiting your comatose husband for profit. Every "care" action generates money while Harvey's digital consciousness slowly awakens to the horror of his situation.
The Human Expenditure Program asks: Is keeping someone alive against their will love or control? Does desperation justify exploitation?
Critical Reception
"The Human Expenditure Program made me the monster." - RetroHorrorFan
"When Harvey deletes himself rather than remain a pet... devastating." - DigitalEthicist
"I earned $5,847. Never felt worse about winning." - MinMaxMorals
FAQ
Is this a sequel? Yes, continues after the original incident.
Why no good ending? Some situations have no moral victory.
Can Harvey be saved? You can keep him alive, not save him.
Will this disturb me? Yes, by design.
Developer's Note
"The Human Expenditure Program shifts from 'What would you do TO someone for money?' to 'What would you do WITH someone for money?' From violence to control, desperation to exploitation." - SHROOMYCHRIST
Final Warning
The Human Expenditure Program will make you uncomfortable. You'll justify terrible actions. When Harvey remembers everything and stares at you with betrayal, remember: you chose to boot up the program. You chose ownership over humanity.
LAUNCH THE HUMAN EXPENDITURE PROGRAM
Within the Human Expenditure Program, affection becomes possession, caregiving becomes domination, and matrimony becomes commerce.
Harvey's memories resurface in the Human Expenditure Program. Will yours?
