BLOODMONEY Requiem itch.io vs Steam

Short answer

• itch.io still hosts the 2025 original BLOODMONEY! (name-your-price / free-era freeware culture) plus developer logs and companion titles from SHROOMYCHRIST.
• Steam is where BLOODMONEY: Requiem shipped on September 15, 2026 as a commercial remake + all-new Requiem campaign for about $4.99 (app 5044390).

If you want the remastered booth, redone pastel art, and the Requiem campaign layer advertised on the store, buy Requiem on Steam. Owning the itch original does not automatically grant a Steam key unless the developer runs a separate promo.

Timeline of the two storefronts

2025 — BLOODMONEY! on itch.io

The original booth horror clicker launched on itch as a short, viral, pastel nightmare: click Harvey for surgery money, buy tools that pay more as harm rises, chase Good / Normal / Bad-style finales. Distribution leaned free or name-your-price, which is why so many 2025 players discovered it without a Steam library entry. Devlogs, soundtrack extras, and community comments clustered on that itch page.

That build remains historically important. It is also not the same product packaging as Requiem’s Steam remake.

2026 — BLOODMONEY: Requiem on Steam

SHROOMYCHRIST Studios positioned Requiem as:

1. A full remake of the smash-hit indie booth story (art redone, presentation rebuilt, Steam packaging).
2. An all-new Requiem campaign — “round two” with more minutes, more money fantasy, and more than three endings advertised.

Launch price sat around $4.99. Features listed on Steam include single-player and Family Sharing. The mature and flashing-lights warnings carry over; see Content Warnings and System Requirements.

Language support (Steam table)

Steam’s language table for Requiem lists English for interface, full audio, and subtitles. Do not expect a localization pack menu on day one. This wiki’s other languages are fan documentation, not a claim that the game ships multilingual audio.

Family Sharing & library notes

Steam lists Family Sharing for Requiem. That helps households share a library under Steam’s rules; it is not a substitute for buying a gift when you want someone to own the title permanently, and it is not an age rating waiver. Keep content warnings in place whenever a shared account launches the booth.

What itch still does well

Keep itch bookmarked for:

• The original BLOODMONEY! download and historical screenshots
• Developer logs announcing Requiem, wishlists, and related posts
• Companion / related SHROOMYCHRIST experiments (for example Human Expenditure Program listings when you are chasing series lore)

Use itch for archaeology and free-era access. Use Steam for the 2026 remaster + campaign product this wiki primarily documents.

What Steam does that itch original did not package the same way

Topic	itch original era	Steam Requiem
Price model	Free / name-your-price culture	Paid ~$4.99 product
Art / presentation	2025 booth look	Fully redone pastel remaster
Campaign scope	Classic booth runtime	Remastered booth plus new Requiem campaign
Endings marketing	Classic three-ending conversation	More than three endings advertised
Platform features	itch downloads / comments	Achievements ecosystem TBD by patches, news hub, Family Sharing, Steam Cloud policies as applicable
Language table	itch page dependent	English interface / audio / subtitles on Steam

Always verify live store text before a purchase—prices and feature checkboxes can change after launch week.

Buying advice by player type

New horror fan who never played 2025: Buy Requiem on Steam. Start at Getting Started, then decide mercy versus cataloguing.

itch veteran who already saw Good / Normal / Bad: Buy Requiem on Steam if you want remaster presentation and the new campaign. Skim What’s New first so you do not expect a free Steam key from itch ownership alone.

Archivist / lore completionist: Keep the itch original installed in a separate folder for comparison footage, then run Steam Requiem as the canonical 2026 build. Series context: Series Lore.

Budget-only curiosity: The itch original may still scratch the moral-clicker itch, but it will not include Requiem’s remake-and-campaign pitch. Do not file Steam bugs against an itch executable.

Common mix-ups

• “I downloaded BLOODMONEY! on itch—why is Requiem locked?” Different products. Pay for Steam Requiem if you want the remake package.
• “Which one should streamers title?” Say BLOODMONEY: Requiem when you are on app 5044390 so viewers install the correct build.
• “Do saves transfer?” Do not assume itch saves migrate. Treat Steam as a fresh install unless a developer tool says otherwise.
• “Is Requiem also free on itch?” Community listings may mention itch availability for related builds, but the commercial remake + campaign storefront this wiki tracks is the Steam page. Prefer Links for official URLs.

How updates land on each store

Steam news and patches for app 5044390 are the live remake signal—mirror high-level notes on Release Notes and this Updates Hub. itch devlogs may announce Steam wishlists, launch posts, or companion uploads without replacing Steam’s build pipeline.

When a guide’s click thresholds disagree with your executable, trust the build you launched, then report the delta. Remake tuning can drift from 2025 memory.

Bottom line

itch.io is the museum and the 2025 doorway. Steam is the 2026 storefront for BLOODMONEY: Requiem—the remastered booth and the new campaign sold together for about ten bucks’ worth of guilt. Buy Steam when you want the remake package; keep itch when you want history, logs, and the freeware-era original.
