After all, a normal child doesn’t imagine a world where they fight hideous monsters and pick up pieces of their dead pets. Everything else revolves around that toy chest and Isaac’s own belief that he’s a sinner. The cutscene after defeating Mom shows Isaac being saved by God in his pictures, only for it all to cut back to reality, with Mom standing in the doorway. His mom might not be trying to kill him, but that’s how Isaac tries to cope with everything. The pictures that Isaac draws are his fantasies, dreams and nightmares, again done in a way he understands. The game ends with Isaac confronting some form of himself, whether it’s him in the Cathedral, or his dead body in the Chest, or the Lamb who represents his sin and guilt.Īs for the whole Mom wants to kill Isaac thing, that might not actually be reality. You start off in the basement, fighting spiders and flies mostly, and as Isaac loses his grip on reality, so does the world around him. To sum up that thread, what you see as you play the Binding of Isaac is our main character going deeper and deeper into less and less realistic places, after having hidden himself away inside his toy chest. While there are many theories, the closest that Edward McMillan (the head honcho of the Binding of Isaac) has confirmed is this Reddit thread in r/BindingofIsaac. You get the opening credits, the little dream sequences, the cutscenes when you beat Mom, Mom’s Heart and the other bosses, they all give hints to a story. Throughout the game, as you unlock more, you learn bits about Isaac’s life. The game of the Binding of Isaac implies something more. The Binding of Isaac isn’t just some sick, twisted game, nor is it simply a knock against religious zeal. It may seem silly claiming there are spoilers, but there are a LOT of secrets that ought to be discovered on your own, or, as I’ve done, by watching playthroughs at my own leisure.īut the weird thing is, there’s an underlying tale. One of the best things in the game you can do is pick up pieces of your dead pets – three ‘Guppy’ items turns you into Guppy itself, a floating cat thing that unleashes flies as it continues to damage enemies with its tears. You’re playing a child, using your tears to kill freakish mutants of yourself. Wandering around in a basement, running through caves, panicking through more and more hellish places. The game even warns you that things are going to get worse, as you beat Mom, then beat Mom’s Heart and unlock It Lives. If you want everything, you need to go through hell your mom’s womb and down into the depths of the Chest and the Dark Room. As you look deeper, it gets more and more difficult. At first glance, the game looks easy, simple controls, simple goals, things like that. I’ve never beaten the Caves in the original flash game, and the closest I’ve gotten is to the Mom fight in Rebirth. With this mod, you may not even need Repentance.I’ll be honest, I really, really fucking suck at the Binding of Isaac. To top it off, there are also new secrets, a fully enhanced soundtrack, and a hidden final chapter to discover and explore. If none of that sounds impressive enough, then how about 16 new bosses to fight and 4,000 new rooms? I thought that would get your attention. These are necessary in order to take down some of the 80+ brand new enemies, though the addition of around 20 new Trinkets also helps. This alone adds a lot of depth to the game, but it’s the 90+ collectibles that will keep you searching for more and more unique combinations to use that will keep you playing. There are two new characters - each with their own unique play styles - to play as you explore the Basement and beyond.

These are some of the best mods you can get for the game, adding new ways to play, and in some cases acting as full-on expansions of their own. With The Binding of Isaac: Repentance almost complete, I thought that now would be a good time to look at some mods for The Binding of Isaac.
