However, because randomization does apply, the Shrine won't always appear as an option.

As noted earlier, you have to end the day inside a room in the manor. This causes that area to appear as a drafting option in the grounds--i.e. you can turn it into an outer room. This leads to shenanigans and secrets. Here are a few examples:Entrance Hall - You can break the vase that contained the Microchip from before to receive an Allowance Token.Lost & Found - You can quickly check if it contains rare items, without having to lose anything from your inventory if you just started a run.Antechamber - Has a very cryptic clue if you can open the Room 46 doorway.There are more secrets to discover if you "monk" certain rooms. We just don't want to spoil all the details here, so feel free to check them out during your playthrough. What happened?

This makes the Cursed Coffers available for purchase in the Gift Shop.The purchase causes a stone chest to spawn inside the Shrine. You'll receive a warning if you attempt to break open the lock using a Sledge Hammer. You'll receive yet another warning if you try to pick up the stone figurine that's inside.Picking up the figurine permanently unlocks "Curse Mode."

The number of steps you have will also be decreased down to just 13.The curse from stealing your donation and from taking the stone figurine lasts for two days.
