More info
Tarot Cards are a cursed possession that can spawn on a contract with a 1 in 7 chance. Each deck contains 10 cards that are randomly generated at the start of the contract, and you draw one card at a time from inside the investigation area; after a card is drawn it burns away and vanishes in a colored flame. Once all ten cards have been used, no more will be given for that contract, and all future hunts are extended by 20 seconds. The deck may include duplicates or omit some card types, since each card type has its own draw chance. The Fool simply reveals another random card and then burns with no immediate effect, while the other cards produce distinct outcomes. For example, Death triggers a cursed hunt, Hermit teleports the ghost back to its room for 60 seconds, Sun restores sanity to 100%, Moon drops it to 0%, Tower doubles ghost activity for 20 seconds, and Devil spawns a Ghost Event toward the nearest player. High Priestess revives a random dead player (or the next to die if none are dead), whereas Hanged Man instantly kills the player (and cannot be drawn if the Friendly Ghost option is on).
