Human Expenditure Program is a browser-based simulation and psychological game released in September 2025. It was developed by ShroomyChrist Studios, known for quirky but emotionally heavy indie games. While it looks like a casual pet sim at first glance, it takes a much darker turn—because the “pet” in question is actually a man named Harvey.
The game stands out with its emotional weight, moral choices, and eerie atmosphere. Casual on the surface, but once you dive in, it sticks with you.
In the game, you take control of Harvey Harvington’s life. You feed him, entertain him, and manage his needs—just like a pet sim. But Harvey is human. He thinks, he remembers, and he reacts based on what you do.
Unlike most games, your decisions have lasting effects. There are two main endings, and how you treat Harvey—kindly or carelessly—changes everything. You can’t undo everything. Some actions leave scars.
Memory system: Harvey remembers. Even if you restart, some things carry over.
Light meets dark: It mixes silly minigames with moments that feel uncomfortably real.
Two endings: Replay to see both outcomes. They're very different depending on your actions.
Browser-friendly: No download needed. Play it free.
