Rebirth is chock full of religious references-the game’s items are nearly ALL things from Catholic and Christian faith. In the game you shoot tears out of your eyes to kill demons, weird creatures, and flies. There’s quite a bit of cartoony blood in this game-bosses (and sometimes regular enemies) often explode into a pile of blood when they are killed. The art style is pretty cartoony, but sometimes tears can get gross-from blood to electricity to explosive bombs, your attack can change quite a bit. Isaac is so distraught, that he fights enemies with his tears. Let’s give it a look and see where it goes. Obviously, the game’s already touching tender nerves for Christian players. Fleeing his mother’s wrath, Isaac jumps into the basement, and there the game begins. That mother hears the voice of God, and He says to kill her son. In this game, a boy named Isaac is being raised by a fundamentalist Christian mother. It was a hit, and not long after, it was remade with new content and graphics, as The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. He shared beautiful, weird games on the website, and one of the last ones he posted was a demo for a new game, The Binding of Isaac. Back when I frequented, one of the most well-known game developers on the website was a man named Edmund McMillen.
