I liked the use of the mechanics to tell us something.
great work!
"Pressing down rapidly" isn't very fun though, especially since there wasn't any feedback that indicates anything's actually happening.
Then those rules were broken. I had to faithjump into a brick wall hoping it was secretly passable. Next, you put me next to some spikes, but they also didn't follow the rules. I nearly quit three times missing jumps and having to restart, so it seemed really unfair to make me faithjump and faithspikewalk, risking a brutal restart punishment.
Later, in the bandage area with more fogiving restarts, it was more okay to bend the rules... but you still forced me to jump blindly into a pit to get a bandage.
I understand this was an artistic manipulation of the player and his expectations, and you're expressing the trials the heart may make you go through, and I did play the game to the finish, but I felt unfairly manipulated and abused. Perhaps that was the artistic goal, though.
At any rate, it was pretty interesting and I did finish it all, so good job even if I personally disagree with the treatment.
