I feel bad for Isaac. The whole gamr revolves on his Basement Hell, his mom almost every villian, everything trying to kill him..the only times I see if when he is finally happy.
So the binding of Isaac was just a story being told by his dad to Isaac so That being how he depicted the beast and mom as monsters it seems like Isaac's mom instead got addicted to something which caused a fight so he left with Isaac and as he was being put to sleep he said a story which was this game and so the add-ons like salvation was Isaac's way to switch the story up a bit
Sadly its still more likable that he died in the Box and this is just part of his imagination. But at least he thought of something nice before he suffocated 😢
I still have the headcanon that after his father got custody, he lets isaac tells his missed up stories to help him through the trauma his mother put him through.
Here's the context Isaac and his parents lived in a small house atop a hill They were religious, but soon the father got addicted to alchohol and gambling, mother and father had a fight, a fight Isaac heared through his door, his child mind thought that it was his fault and blamed himself. Soon after, Isaac awoke to see his mother slleping, while father took money out of mother's purse and leave, never coming back. The mother after a waking, realized what had happened and went into a breakdown, she knew her and isaac's life were now tougher, and in her desprit strugle to find peace in her situation clinged onto religion. She became mad, if a christian show said to video games caused violance, she would barge into Isaac's room and take away all his video games, then his toys, then his books, and so on and so on. One day in mothers madness, she heared a voice, was it god, was it her hullicination, was it the tv, no one knows nor did it matter. The vpice told her to kill her son, kill her son then maybe, just maybe everything will be alright. Mother took a knife from the kitchen and went into isaacs room wanting prepared to kill him. In Isaac's panic he struggled and soon found a hidden basement under his carpet and jumped down, her mother reached in trying to get him but she could not fit, and soon gave up. In the basement Isaac had hulicinations of his life story (the game). And when he woke up(the level home) he blamed himself for making his parents fight, his own mother tried to kill him, he had no right to live. As the mother slept with the knife in her hands, passed out in front of the tv, Isaac jumped in the chest his mother keeped all his forbidden toys she taken from him. As the air in the chest decreased, Isaac's body turned blue, and soon he hullucinated again, of his past, his present, and what his happy future could have been. Mother woke up the next day, coming to her senses and throwing away her knife, looking for issac hoping he's ok, only to find his blue corpes in the chest she kept all his happiness locked away from him. Isaac's soul saw all this, and as he quietly watched his mother cry, he slowly accended, losing all his past regrets. Isaac sees nothing but white, he is in heaven. The end Father: do you want to write a better story Isaac: I do (Isaac enjoys the happy life, a happy kid like him, deserves; but didn't receive)
@@ahabduennschitz7670 it's even funnier that his explanation is outright wrong. -Isaac loved his father and his father helped him be creative and made toys out of cardboard with him despite his flaws -Isaac's parents divorced, his father didn't just take some money and leave -Isaac's dad desparately tried to gain custody but couldn't -his mother wasn't just a crazed lunatic, she was a suffering vulnerable person who became increasingly desparate for answers and turned to TV evangelism because she had no friends and was usually home every day even before the divorce and took a lot of pills to help cope -She never actually chased isaac with a knife or even tried to kill him, she just locked isaac in his room and took away his stuff because she couldn't understand why isaac didn't love her like he did his father. Reason being isaac thought the divorce was all his fault and acted different to avoid upsetting his mother -Isaac crawled inside the toy chest to cope with his situation and not understanding why his father was gone and his mother was so different -It was probably a good 2-4 weeks before his mother finally found his BONES inside the toy chest as missing posters were put up and his body was fully decomposed -The boss fight with mother ingame where you hear mother shout isaac after each phase is literally her screaming out trying to find isaac as he had been missing for some time. The final time she screams isaac is her finding his bones.
I'm sad i saw this on a youtube video and not the way i should have. I did so because i thought it was a mod and not official. It had been so long since i played The binding of isaac, this was the only time i found out about it's existence
I remember I preordered Repentance the exact day preorders started for it, i was so hyped about what this final dlc would add to the game, and on launch day, when i found this strange door in the depths i immediately scoured the internet for advice on how to enter it, and once i found out and started the ascent to the home floor, my jaw fucking dropped, this scene was so powerful, the music mixed with the heartbreaking voice acting all culminate to make this really emotional scene, i love this scene and i love this game so much
