Strategic Use: Due to the potential for negative outcomes (like drawing the Death card), using Tarot Cards near a safe zone or the entrance is recommended. This allows for a quicker escape if needed.

Card Mechanics: Each card produces an immediate effect upon use. A "Fool" card results in no effect. Up to 10 cards can be drawn without sanity loss, and duplicates yield the same effect.

Card Effects: The game features 10 unique Tarot Cards, each with varying probabilities and consequences:

Cursed Possessions are high-risk, high-reward items that offer gameplay manipulation at the cost of player safety. They spawn randomly on maps (depending on difficulty and game mode). Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings). Each object has a fixed spawn location. Examples include the Voodoo Doll, Music Box, and Ouija Board. Using them is optional; there's no penalty for ignoring them.
