I don't know if it happened randomly or because of specific conditions, but at some points I got a "What a horrible night to have a curse..." message, folllowed by having to play with a Virtual Boy palette - cursed indeed. The first few unlocks come fairly easily and are a nice way to rope the player in, as the requirements for the rest ramp up.
