By the power of your blood, you and your ghosts will take over your crime family!
Blood Money is a 290,000-word interactive novel by Harris Powell-Smith. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
When your cousin murders the city's most notorious crime boss--your mother--a 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 take over the family business? Remain loyal, go it alone, or defect to a rival gang?
What will you sacrifice for freedom, and who will you sacrifice for power?
