Debt

It is an indestructible curse that prevents the Peasant from buying items with gold. cannot be removed until the Peasant restores their gold balance to zero from a negative value from using Pilfer Credit Cards. When a new run is started the curse is automatically inflicted and the negative balance is carried over. It can obtained by finishing a run with a negative balance or losing the card when a negative balance is incurred (e.g., selling the credit card to Black Rabbit or losing the card to Relic Eater).

The curse can also be removed if the Peasant speaks to the Shop Keeper to solve a "vermin problem" in their store. Accepting their request opens the storeroom, where the fight can be initiated, at the end of which will set the Peasant's balance to 0.
