Imagine a game where getting hit flashes up secrets in the environment? Suspicious wall? Get hit there (but not too much) and observe.

Maybe it is like your blood / damage particles reveal the secrets.

Getting hurt to progress in the game? Starting to sound like Wario Land to me

what if when you get hit your character remembers some sories of abuse from his parents and schoolmates in the past?

you play as a dead man clinging to the world of mortals. getting hit gives you brief glimpses into the spirit world

Or when you get hit and get close to being dead you start getting flashbacks and you learn more of the back story.
