Early game breaking bug! - Minor spoiler (first 2-10 min of play)

[Red Eagle LXIX]

Well, early on it is easy to get a game breaking bug.
So I pass the first save orb and decide to skip it. I go to the area where the experience lever is just before the room with the moving spikes around the switch (before the rotating bridge).
I get the XP, run back and save my game.
Come back to play after posting about idiotic controls.
Now the pit no longer has moving spikes around the switch and is instead surrounded by extended spikes leaving no possible way to get to the switch.
QA failed., Basic testing failed.
Multiple reload attempts, die and restart from last checkpoint, etc, and the switch is forever stuck with extended spikes around it. Game over.

I added a screenshot of the bug.
