LoveMoney Item Guide: Everything About the "Lotion"

In the indie clicker and visual novel LoveMoney, your primary goal is raising $25,000 for unexpected circumstances by interacting with the game's main character, Harvey. As you progress and earn money, you gain access to the in-game Shop, which offers various items to enhance your gameplay.

One of the most frequently discussed items among players is the Lotion. If you are wondering what this item does, how to get it, and whether it leads directly to a specific ending, our fact-checked guide gives you all the verified details.

What is the Lotion in LoveMoney?

The Lotion is an unlockable, interactive item available within the LoveMoney shop interface. Because LoveMoney explores more intimate themes compared to the original BloodMoney, items like the Lotion are designed to change the way the player physically interacts with Harvey.

When purchased and equipped, the Lotion visually alters the interaction sequences. It smooths out the clicking mechanics and reveals entirely new scenes, sound effects, and unique dialogue options from Harvey that you cannot access during the base clicking phase.

How to Unlock and Buy the Lotion

• Click Harvey to generate your basic starting income.
• Access the Shop: Once it appears in your user interface, open the shop menu.
• Purchase the Item: Scroll through the shop inventory until you find the Lotion icon.

(Note: The exact price of the Lotion can vary depending on which patch or iteration of LoveMoney you are playing. Always make sure to click consistently in the early game to build up a comfortable cash reserve before opening the shop to afford the higher-tier items!)

Effects: What Happens When You Use It?

Using the Lotion on Harvey significantly alters the gameplay environment and your progression pace. Its effects include:

• Visual Progression: It unlocks new visual states and CG variations, progressing the "intimacy" stages of the game.
• Dialogue Reactions: Harvey has specific, context-aware reactions triggered exclusively when the Lotion is applied.
• Interaction Efficiency: In many clicker games, late-shop items act as multipliers. While its primary appeal is the narrative change, it also helps progress the scenes faster, keeping you on track to meet your $25,000 goal.

Does the Lotion Unlock a Secret Ending?

A common question from players is whether buying the Lotion directly triggers a "Secret Ending." Based on community walkthroughs and our All Endings Guide, the Lotion itself is not an ending trigger.

Instead, it acts as a crucial stepping stone. Using the Lotion unlocks the later stages of Harvey's gallery and specific dialogue branches. These branches are often required to reach the game's final, full-interaction endings. If your goal is 100% completion in the gallery, utilizing the Lotion from the shop is highly recommended.
