<Tr> <Th> Genre (s) </Th> <Td> Roguelike, dungeon crawl, shooter, action - adventure </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Mode (s) </Th> <Td> Single - player </Td> </Tr> <P> The Binding of Isaac is an indie roguelike video game designed by Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl, initially released in 2011 for Microsoft Windows; the game was later ported for OS X, and Linux operating systems . The game's title and plot are inspired by the Biblical story of the Binding of Isaac: after Isaac's mother receives a message from God demanding the life of her son as proof of her faith, Isaac flees into the monster - filled basement of their home, where he must fight to survive . Players control Isaac or one of six other unlockable characters through a procedurally generated dungeon in a roguelike manner, fashioned after those of The Legend of Zelda, defeating monsters in real - time combat while collecting items and power - ups to defeat bosses and eventually Isaac's mother . </P> <P> The game was the result of a week - long game jam between McMillen and Himsl to develop a The Legend of Zelda - inspired roguelike that allowed McMillen to showcase his feelings about both positive and negative aspects of religion that he had come to discover from conflicts between his Catholic and born - again Christian family members while growing up . McMillen had considered the title a risk but one he could take after the financial success of Super Meat Boy, and released it without much fanfare to Steam in September 2011, not expecting many sales . The game soon gained popularity partially as a result of various Let's Play videos showcasing the title . McMillen and Himsl released an expansion "Wrath of the Lamb" in May 2012, but were limited from further expansion due to limitations with the Flash platform . They had started working with Nintendo in 2012 to release a 3DS version, but Nintendo later backed out of the deal, citing controversy over the game's religious themes . </P>
