Oh no :( Currently playing this game and this made me so sad. I feel bad for Isaac. So many of his memories are very similar to mine.

You've started the endless game. It only gets harder. And by harder, I obviously mean better. Good luck and have fun with it :)

Keep at it! I have 97 hours in and I only have 52% of all of the achievements. The game is SOO addictive.

Hooooly shit. That's an insane amount of hours compared to a minimal percentage. The makers of this game have FAR too much time.

Many of my friends took around 300+ hours to get all of the achievements c:

Insanely depressing or darkly hilarious, depending on if you're played the game.

It's a minimalist story mimicking depth by using bible names and themes that uses the player to fill in the blanks with substance.

A roguelike dungeon crawler. You beat floors until you get to the final boss, and every time you play it's random/different. Very replayable

11 years ago | Likes 45 Dislikes 0

It's kind of like Zelda, but much more action-oriented instead of puzzle-based, and you only play in a dungeon.

Only the last panel made me realise that it's not just a dumb cartoon, it's about the cycle of abusive parents/children relationships...

11 years ago | Likes 264 Dislikes 25

Well acutally i wouldnt say it is just a cartoon about the cycle of abusive parents since the second mother wouldnt have became abusive 1/2

if the daughter wouldnt have died, thus beginning another cycle. 2/2. :)

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Not really a great analogy, as it's merely dumb luck that resulted in the cycle continuing. Claiming that nobody was responsible is wrong.

dude, that's really interesting to hear an interpretation of this from someone who has never even heard of the game.

11 years ago | Likes 43 Dislikes 1

I mean the game is about the cycle of abusive parents/children so you're definitely not wrong.

11 years ago | Likes 25 Dislikes 2

Well.. I'm not so sure, since you'd think it would be Isaac Sr. who would be able to continue the cycle, yet it's the mother. So no cycle?

11 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

I agree because Isaac, the original victim, did not perpetuate the cycle. It was a series of mishaps & wretched human nature. Like real life

It's more fun in my opinion. Maybe a little easier than the original because so many pickups synergize now, but some challenges are harder.

Except playing as The Lost. There's nothing fun about that and the creator is a sick, twisted bastard.

If he locks the door, his daughter wouldn't have fallen and died in the first place and Issac would have no reason to go down there.

Why did he move into the same house? Seems kinda stupid both because it'd have bad memories and could easily have been assumed as haunted.

Comic author says "either assume it's a different house that also has a basement or the same house because Isaac and his heirs are stupid."
