This article is about the consumable item affecting the player's mood. For magazines that teach recipes, see [[Recipe magazines]].Magazines are literature items found in the drawers and closets of many houses, but can also be found in crates and in kitchen counters. It reduces a medium amount of boredom and a small amount of stress. Once used it is effectively 'consumed' and disappears from the player's inventory. It can also be used as a fuel for a heat source, and lasts for 15 mins if done so.
