PRAY FOR REPENTANCE AND BE REBORN
Experience the modern classic, The Binding of Isaac, like you’ve never seen it before. It’s a game too big to be called a sequel: Repentance takes Isaac to new heights of roguelike dungeon adventure, as the brave boy descends into the basement for his greatest challenge yet! Isaac’s new quest takes him to unknown places he’s never been, filled with horrible new enemies and bosses, weapon combos you’ve never synergized before and items he’s never seen… unholy terrors from his wildest dreams and worst nightmares!

BIGGER THAN A SEQUEL
The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is so huge, so new and so feature-packed that it makes previous updates look like prequels.
