The Repentance true ending is great because it leans to a person's perception and wishes. People who wanted to see Isaac happy interpret it as a happy ending of a broken childhood being fixed. People who are into the supernatural see it as a depressing heaven of a child who only wanted to be loved. I hope Ed never reveals what he Really wanted with the ending.

[@ubitrollgt6274]

Delerium ending gotta be the most heartwrenching one of the bunch. You literally see a child commit unalive. Very effective!

[@samvanroon5041]

Is it just me or does Isaac sound a little more raspy in the last ending? Like a kid who is sick or recovering from something like dehydration or suffocation.

[@NoiseTheSilent]

Or just sleepy as he was having a bedtime story read to him.

[@NoiseTheSilent]

@Orange_Knight Heavy spoilers, the entire Binding of Issac of game wasn't real. It was all a story made up by Issac and his dad. That is what the true final ending implies.

[@pacientenumero3797]

suffocation, huh?...

[@pixwool]

@@NoiseTheSilent Not at all. The true ending is about how isaac’s dad took him with him when leaving, saving him from his mother. Then Isaac deals with his trauma by making the story.

Am I the only one who always cry even after I saw this ending multiple times?

[@Joplas99]

At the end the story changes to "isaac and his parents", instead of isaac and his mother. Could that mean the happy ending (and maybe reality) has a reconciliation between the parents and no more abuse? I hope they went to therapy+ psychiatrist and everything went well after that.

[@emberthefox4951]

Here's how I interpret the true ending: The kid who was writing at the end is not the Isaac we play as. Isaac used writing as a form of escape from his trauma writing about ways he would tackle his life's issues in a symbolic way. While it's true that his father left the family he eventually went to rehab for his alcoholism and came back. Isaac continued his writing passion with support from his father and finally finished the story with a bittersweet ending. His father decides to propose that Isaac makes a happier ending and he does so. A wonderful conclusion that is still up to interpretation and still contains continuation potential.

Flash Isaac came out in 2011. Repentance came out in 2021. 10 years of opening the game and hearing "Isaac and his mother..." and finally, after defeating the Beast, you get to hear it for the first time. "Isaac and his parents". I'm happy for you, Isaac. You can rest now. 💙

there are few stories that made me cry, this was one of them to see a child getting abused, and thinking it is his fault him going into a chest and dying due to low oxigen, and even seeying his bones after his death and that ending who made me guess what was and what was not real Ed did a fantastic job with his work, if he ever expandes the story i just hope that he doesnt reveal what is and what is not true

If last one is canon Isaac: dad, can i show you my drawings? Dad: ok son, what did you draw? Isaac's drawings: showing his mom as a psychopatic maniac, killing the satan, dying and going to the heaven, an isaac suffocated to death* Dad: let's not talk about that

[@antoniovazquez8644]

Sadly... the canon ending according to McMillan is the death of Isaac. That last cutscene isn’t canon. Unless it’s not just his “daddy”, it is the Father. Isaac is in heaven, and God himself is speaking to Isaac, perhaps to help him find peace in his old life.

[@Extremezotako]

OK

[@Jianjito]

So your saying the last ending where Isaac dies and goes to heaven and rewrites his story with his father isnt the final true ending to the story? Breh
