🔮Cursed Possessions
Ouija Board
Communicate firmly. Asking "Where are you?" drains sanity but locates the ghost room. Don't forget to say "Goodbye" or the board breaks and a hunt starts!
Tarot Cards
Draw cards for random effects. The High Priestess revives a dead player, while The Hanged Man instantly kills you.
Music Box
Plays a creepy tune. The ghost will sing along, revealing its location, but if the music box touches the ghost or is dropped, a Cursed Hunt begins.
Summoning Circle
Light the 5 candles to summon the ghost for a photo. Be warned: the ghost breaks free instantly and starts a hunt.
