Question about the hunt starting immediately when playing the tarot cards

[Mr. Nugget]

Hey everyone.

We play tarot cards for ♥♥♥♥ and giggles.
It's custom difficulty, nothing fancy. We hide in the living room behind the boxes near the TV in Willow Street.

However, this happened twice with Obake and Oni.
We draw the Devil card and after 1 or 2 cards we draw Death and immediately the hunt starts and I get killed like 1-2 second after the hunt starts.

Is it something in the ghost's behaviour that triggers this that I need to read into more?
Is it a bug?

We can't figure it out.

Thanks.

Hunts triggered by cursed items have less time to hide than normal.

Amateur: 5 seconds
Intermediate: 4 seconds
Professional: 3 seconds
Nightmare: 2 seconds
Insanity: 2 seconds
Cursed hunt: 1 second

Further, The ghost is an actual roaming invisible entity in the map- And it begins a hunt from wherever it currently is in the map. Ghost Event's also place the ghost at the location of the event, from which it roams or heads back to it's ghost room.

So basically, You got a ghost event from the Devil card, which places the ghost in the same room as you, and then you drew a Death card which triggers a hunt, while it's now somewhere around your exact location, and because it's a cursed hunt you only have 1 second to get out of dodge.

This is brilliant!

Thank you so much!

You're very welcome.

I would like to add one additional note; Once a cursed hunt is triggered on a given mission, Every hunt after that will be cursed hunts as well. So use caution with the cursed items- Or at least be newly aware of this so it doesn't catch you off guard while you're goofin off n having a good time.

They will only be cursed in regards to the addition of 20 seconds to each hunt. The grace period will return to be based on the difficulty for any regular hunt, unless obviously a 2nd death card is drawn, which as well will have the 1 second.
