''The Binding of Isaac: Whybirth'' is a [[GameMod fan expansion]] to ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'' created by Nick M. It adds several new items, enemies, pill effects, challenges, and even a sidequest that leads to a brand-new boss fight.
To succinctly describe the mod's design philosophy, it's the general mindset of someone who creates PlatformHell [[RomHack ROM hacks]]: making an unreasonably difficult and unfair experience as a joke that the player is on the ass end of. While there are some cool items to be found here, the bulk of the new content is designed to frustrate and confound you. Do not play this without a guide unless you want to lose your sanity.
