*Isaac gets fez* Okay *Isaac gets noose after getting fez* Wait a second-

I love seeing Isaac smile in these endings. He's just one of those characters that you just wanna hug forever. I feel so sorry for the little guy! His mom does terrible things to him, and hes, what, seven years old?

5:27 Thats what I call a HEART ATTACK! Huh? No one? Nevermind....

Gotta love the ending at 4:30 with the dramatic DUN DUN DUUUUUN

4:31 dr.fetus confirmed

This game just made Me feel bad for Isaac ='(

For those who dont know, the story is a reference to the old testament story of Abraham and Isaac. When God asked abraham to kill his son, issac, to prove his devotion, god interveined right before he was going to kill his son, and said he had proved his loyalty. Abraham and issac then sacrificed a ram together, and lived out the rest of their lives as a loving family. Issac then lived on and had the many children that they were promised.

5:18 now isaac went full swag.

The ending theme is so unsettling

The art has definitely improved in the remakes, feels somewhat nice to look where it all began

*Kills Satan, his own self, his dead self, Angels, a much harder form of Satan, The Lamb, Delirium, Hush, his mother, and much more forms of evil.* *Can use simple items to kill enemies with his own tears, scythes, knives, lasers, blood lasers, and more.* *Is like 5 or something.*

WHO HERE IN 2024

I posted this as a reply to someone confused at the story, but I feel as if more people would see this if I posted this as it's own comment. So here's what I think of this game's story: You notice how the intro and epilogue cutscenes are literally written on paper Isaac pins to his wall? This is all in Isaac's head; his mom isn't trying to kill him, but Isaac blames god for making his mom all abusive. For starters, Isaac has multiple personality disorder, all the playable characters are Isaac. Secondly, Edmund McMillen, the creator of the game, has stated multiple times that parents shaving their kid's head and dressing them as a girl in public as a punishment are signs of religious abuse. When Isaac draws out the Bible/God killing mom, that what he wishes would happen, but he feels that both his mom and God are against him. Isaac also views himself as corrupt and impure, as shown by a few endings when he appears demonic. Lastly, the Chest. Not only is "The Chest" the final area in the original game, but it serves as Isaac's getaway from the harsh and abusive reality to a place of imagination and pretend. I assume Isaac used to keep his toys in there until his mom took them away, so now he uses the chest to hide in and escape to a world of pretend where he overcomes great fears and monsters such as Satan and his own mother... but then it eventually kills him. Yeah, this "???/Blue Baby" character is Isaac when he dies of suffocation. Ending 11 suggests that this was an act of suicide because he sees himself as corrupt and to end all the suffering and abuse, but who knows, it could have been by accident. There's also Isaac's father who, in all honestly, isn't all that important to the story. The Polaroids suggest that there was a time where Isaac and his family was happy, but the father left for unknown reasons. This is when Isaac's mom most likely turned to religion for guidance and... things went downhill from there. In a nutshell, the story's about some messed up kid who has multiple personality disorder and loves to pretend, but has a religiously abusive mother and sees himself as impure. In the end, he kills himself because he can't take it anymore. No happy story here folks, just suffering and death.

the ending with him suffocating in the chest is isaac realizing hes dying in the chest he crawled into to hide from his mom, making him wake up too his escapist day-dream he created to ''defeat'' his mom.

To think where this game is now, getting its third dlc, with such an intricate plot compared to what we originally thought.

Is ending 5 a reference to Super Meat Boy?

The fact that the credit song i a distorted version of christian nursery song makes all the more disturbing

3:28 Okay, that's just depressing and dark. this whole game is sorta dark but still

05:17 That Swag

Wow. This game is screwed up. One of the most underappreciated masterpieces of gaming. So many people just take it for a game and nothing else, and while it is a great game and a work of art at the same time.

it bugs me when people hate on this game. THIS GAME IS A WORK OF ART.

5:28 Goddamit, ItLives!

Endings 1, 4, 8 seem like the best ones in this due to the fact that nothing happens to Isaac.

Am i the only one that thinks its fucked up that in the credits its playing a weird version of yes jesus loves me

There is something so beautiful about these endings after Repentance

Here's my theory: There is a family. In this family, there is a mother, a father, and a young boy. Now, this young boy is rather strange. He is very socially awkward, he likes to cross dress, and sometimes there's a dark shadow that follows him around. Despite how strange this young boy is, the family is still very happy. The boy never caused anybody harm and actually seems to be very decent. Both parents love each other, and both parents love him as a son, perhaps especially his mother. Unfortunately, something strange happened to this boy. One day, this "shadow" affected the boy, and the boy killed his father. The mother realized that the boy killed his father, but she doubted that it was truly out of his own will. So, she buries the father on top of the hill and keeps the boy near home so she could watch over him closely. Of course, she doesn't love her boy as much as she used to. Even though she desperately wants to love him, sometimes she gets so angry that her boy caused the death of her husband that she does mean things to him like giving him presents full of poop. The boy, of course, gets very sad by his mother's treatment of him at times, and he also gets sad that he realizes that his father's death was, at least in some way, his fault. Some time passes. The boy starts to feel a little better. The mother, however, starts seeing that the shadow that was sometimes seen surrounding her son return with greater frequency. She turns to christian television to find answers to her son's strangeness. Her son is oblivious to the reason why she watches television with such attention. She really does start hearing voices from god, since god is trying to keep the "shadow" from infected the boy. However, she doesn't understand how to keep the "shadow" away, so she takes his toys and his clothes away from him, and then forces him into his room. Finally, god, knowing that the boy cannot be saved from the "shadow" tells the mother to kill her boy. She agrees. The boy, meanwhile in his room, hears this commotion. He knows that his mother will try to kill him. So, in a second, he imagines a god intervening on his behalf to save him. This doesn't happen. No, instead he takes out the Bible and starts reading it in the hopes to save his soul. Unfortunately, he sees himself turning into different evil people and finally the devil. He gets sad and starts to realize that something really is wrong with him. So, he locks himself in the treasure chest and finally becomes the "shadow". Once this happens, the mother comes in to his room, knife in hand, and sees that her son isn't there. So, she goes outside and starts looking for him. Of course, she never finds him. A year later, she opens up the chest in her son's room and finds his dead corpse. Startled by her son's corpse and by her fear that the "shadow" is still there and not wanting to call the police, she digs a huge cave underneath his bedroom and puts the chest in there.

*defeats own mother, travels inside her own womb and obliterates her literal heart* "FUCK YEAH, A QUARTER!"

This game is f***ing messed up....

The "blue baby" is actually Isaac's corpse

Am i the only one who thought maybe Issac's Mom has Schizophrenia? EDIT- I do understand the concept is based on the Bibles story of Abraham, specifically the line of "God said to Abraham, you shall kill your son Issac".

Aww, poor Isaac on ending 11.

the ending where isaac gets dr fetus is my favourite

This is Doctor Fetus :D Super Meat boy yeah

Issac in each ending: hmmm how can I kill or harm myself with this

4:09 best one

It’s amazing to compare the endings for the original and for repentance back to back, and see just how much the game has grown over the years

So then Isaac gets in the chest to escape reality/ his mom, and dies suffocated? Because sometimes in those memories he gets when changing floors you can see him trapped in a chest breathing very heavily. Also, I don't think he has a sister, because in other of this memories you can see him receiving a gift, probably from her mother (who wanted a girl maybe?). And in fact, if I'm not mistaken, every character is Isaac, and "???" Would be him dead? I mean, he's coming out of the chest in the 10th ending, it kinda makes sense to me idk

The writers of this game are extremely creative. The symbolism and open endedness of the story are fantastic

2:23 ISAAC YOU JUST SPOILED THE WHOLE TBOI LORE

As for Isaac swapping to everyone before he jumps in the chest and closes it in on himself, may be a reference to past lives that he has had, overwhelmed with the past memories or such, or could have been people that he might have been, depending on circumstances in the womb. As for the demon in Isaac's room, I'm not exactly sure how to debunk that one. Perhaps a realization of early sadistic and evil intentions based on aggressive playouts to win, determine he's something evil to survive?

First time i got an item unlock "mutant spider has appeared somewhere in the basemenr" i spent like 10 minutes looking through the floor to find a green spider

5:40 If this isn't with the Wrath of the Lamb DLC then, neat to see 1 of the final bosses from that! ^.^

POV: This was recommended to you 8 years later

This is such a dark, twisted, and amazing story to go along with a really great game.

I like ending 7 when he gets communion bread. So heartwarming.

Este fue el primer video que vi de este hermoso juego, gracias like

ending 6 scared me af

I remember reading an interview with the creator saying that the game was all just Isaac attempting to cope with what's happening by making the choice to get in the chest. It's sad but even through all the stuff he goes through, he eventually realizes that there's no way out of this.

not expecting that on ending 6

I love this game way to much

3:36 I thought that was an escape rope from pokemon

Issac is a cute little anime character to me makes me sad he doesn't really get a happy ending

Ending 5 and 8 were literally the funniest endings to a depressing game ever

are these endings influenced by your gameplay or are they random? (never played the game )

In repentance, we see his dad telling him a story at the end. I'm guessing that his father took him back and Isaac wasn't very good at the time, so he offered to tell a story. He ready Isaac's drawings and sees how messed up he is. There's also the possibility he just imagined it and starved to death

It's one of the fascinating games that has a deeper meaning which toys with your brain, leaving you sad and scared

So God wants Isaac's mother to kill Isaac,but just when Isaac was about to die, god stopped his mother. Wtf?

interesting to see that these endings were actually different in vanilla isaac, like unlocking judas instead of eden, or getting the nail, or wafer, or money=power

Ending 12.... made me cry.... then rethink my play-through of the game..... cry.. again..... then rethink my entire life....... Takin' this game's experience(s) to the grave......

As weird as this game is, it is fun as heck and addicting.

This game is about a biblical story that goes: God tells Abraham to kill his son on a mountain, Abraham is about to do the deed when an angel shows up stops him and makes him kill a ramb instead. God was testing Abraham. Now this is how the game transfers it. Abraham = Isaacs mom Abrahams son = Isaac God = Creepy man in the attic who hates Isaac

4:31 Dr Fetus from super meat boy!!!

Isaac: I’m sad :c Me: YOU WONT BE ANYMORE, BECUASE YOU BEUTIFUL

Such a very interesting story. This is not the kind of game you can just take one look and understand it. You have to really look at it on all sides and keep an open mind. Its not just one thing or the other, the story says a bunch of things. It tackles things that we don't like to talk or think about. Kudos to this guy for creating a game that makes you think. I haven't had the chance to play a game like that since Silent Hill.

This comment section: "This game MOCKS Christians, and I DON'T LIKE THAT blablabla" "This game has nothing to do with religion! blablabla" "Tired of your Playstation games? Click THIS LINK for CHEAP Ps4 games!" My God (no pun intended)

5:15 I want that as a character named The Pimp

I like how this version includes the last part in the intro

Every time I keep thinking he’ll fall in...

2: 22 makes me smile every time (don't pause!)

This is poping up 8 years later.......good times

4:33 the best xDDD

5:06 #SWAG

this is so nostalgic

во время показа второго интро я заметил что айзик любит рисовать перевёрнутые молотки 2:40

Schizophrenic christian crusaders In a nutshell.

This is the first game of binding of Isaac

5:14 goes hard

There's actually a mod replaces the rebirth soundtrack with the original, and a mod that makes the enemies and characters look like their vanilla selves, and with imaginings of what the newer enemies and characters could've looked like

Ending 4 and 8 are priceless.

I watched this because I didn't get Ending 1. I; killed Mom's Heart, got the achievement for beating the game, then a projectile left over from defeating Mom's Heart hit and killed me before I could open the chest.

I love the last Ending, Ending 13, it has the hast music

Man the credits song go hard

4:31 Oh hi, Dr. Fetus!

Here's how I see it. The narrator is adult male. Might suggest retrospect or external observation. Isaac is drawing at the time the narration starts, so, the narration begins AFTER dad exits the family. Dad and Mom hold hands. They create Isaac. Then mom dresses Isaac as a girl. Dad leaves. Mom tries to dress him as a boy again but it's too late. The boy clothes are evil because she sees Isaac as a girl. Isaac probably identifies as a girl. The penis though reveals Isaac's greatest shame. Whenever it is revealed he weeps. He hates it. Isaac wants to be a girl. Mom flips out because Isaac's gender dysphoria drove her husband away. Destroy the freak! Isaac in his self-view has no penis. Only the nightmares show him with a penis. The imaginary world beneath the chest in the imaginary basement under his room allows him to explore himself. But no matter what, he suffers guilt and sorrow. His drawings represent his sins. His life force, hearts, represent how close to death each persona brings him in his attempt to kill himself. He sees the Bible as a measure he cannot live up to. In the mirror he is still dark and wicked compared to the Bible's representation of Jesus. Mom isn't going to sacrifice Isaac. Isaac is going to kill himself so mom can win dad back...sacrifice himself. But as he struggles to choose life and to be himself, he feels more and more evil for being selfish, considering his own needs above his mother's happiness. He blames God for creating him to be an anomaly that drove away love. The absence of the dad in the photo with the blonde girl shows that it was mom that created the girl, mom and dad were together to create the boy. The game endings reveal whether or not Isaac decides to kill himself. In the original story, Abraham wasn't allowed to sacrifice Isaac. It was a theophany of God's sacrifice of Jesus far into the future. God had prepared a ram for the sacrifice, and Isaac was spared; though Jesus would not be spared. This Isaac would also be spared. It was the Lord of Flies commanding mom...not God. God intervenes to save Isaac. Aside from Mom and Isaac, there's nothing else in the house except for her increasing madness from losing her husband over her misbegotten daughter-son, and Isaac's personal hell, being blamed by mom for it. Isaac perceives that all is well and happy, even though it isn't. Mom and Isaac in a house on a hill all alone and happy, drawing and writing stories, living in an imaginary world that becomes quickly tainted by religious extremism and demonic persuasion. Glad to see God in the end prevents a horrible mistake. The victorious Isaac rises above the BLAME of his mother and chooses his own life is worth living, and mom can find her own way. The story written out is not about murder of mom, but of how Isaac reconciles his inner struggles of guilt, blame, self-hate and identity and gender crises.

I understand what he is portraying. Either his parents were very strict or very abusive Christians, more than likely saying that it was "Gods plan" which is bullshit. I'm sad that these kind of people exist and make Christians like me look bad

I’m getting this game for my birthday

Memories.

Seeing content of this game makes me so fucking depressed yet I don't even fully understand what I'm seeing.

I feel also in my heart (no pun intended) that Ending 10 is also a part in that order, it being the last of it. Is it possible that Isaac has somehow proceeded through a sort of time paradox and found himself in the chest?

Watching the END of the EPILOGUE in the REBIRTH version was so freaking scary

Wow. I'm really depressed right now. :(

ISAAC NEEDS TO CONFESS! NOT BE TORTURED!

man, this is so nostalgic....

The amount of paradoxes in this game is too much to handle.

In ending 13, has anyone noticed what sounds like a knock like, or thud like noise in the audio at 6:24 to 6:26? I just noticed that just now. Is it just me; then? Hmmm...Must be...

ending 5: DA DA DAAAAAAA!!! oh I love that joke...

ok so at 4:30 thats actually an easter egg:) the easter egg is dr. fetus from super meat boy. since the same people that made binding of isaac made super meat boy now you know

Im diving down the issac hole and sometimes i like to think his father got custody of some sorts because some of the endings include issac and he's dad together talking about the current events that had happened with him and his mother, idk just a fun thing i thought about

when he wears that thing it's from super meatboy

actually all the game is the imagination of isaac hes actually in a chest in a fetal position crying
