Artifacts

Artifacts are unlockable modifiers that alter some aspect of gameplay. Most Artifacts can be found in hidden passages throughout stages. Once an Artifact is unlocked, the player can enable it at the start of a new run.
Artifacts do not disable the ability to receive achievements or unlocks.
