Isaac’s binding He almost immediately became one of the greatest exponents of the roguelike genre, so it is not surprising that its creator, Edmund McMillan, wanted to take this experience to new heights. From this assumption was born Isaac binds four lives, a board game made possible thanks to donations from the community on Kickstarter and is currently looking to raise more funds to launch a new expansion.
Specifically, the Requiem expansion will include 248 new cards that will extend the experience of the original game. His campaign on Kickstarter started a few weeks ago and has already raised over $5.5 million (116,463,041 Mexican pesos) with just over two days left. Such a large amount of money is not surprising, since one of the bonuses managed to attract the attention of the community.
Edmund McMillen was inspired by Belle Delphine’s strange marketing strategy
As with most Kickstarter campaigns, people who donate to the Edmund McMillen Project will be able to unlock special rewards based on the amount of their contribution. These prizes range from unique characters, statuses, exclusive cards, and more.
However, the $2000 denomination brings a gift that undoubtedly stands out from the rest. Specifically, users who donate this amount or more will be able to purchase a bottle of Edmund McMillen’s bath water, among many other things. The above is an obvious parody of Belle Delphine, a controversial creator who did the same in 2019.
Oh also, the shower water got orange! Now every backer who supports this tier will also get.. 3 sets of 2 Gish promotional cards, a full 4 Spirits + Expansion coin, a deck of Isaac Tarot cards and a few random bits and pieces around my house! https://t.co/HqiejgUbh5 (almost sold out) pic.twitter.com/nnJ5VikwL9

Of course, we don’t know if the water that was sold really belonged in the creator’s bathtub and if he really took a bath in it. Either way, we have to mention that this special bonus is no longer available.
Finally, as part of a community challenge, sponsors must take pictures of themselves and send them in the bathtub with the hashtag #bathwater. If 99 people do this, the challenge will be met and the rest of the special cards in the board game will be unlocked.
But tell us, what do you think of the strange bonus? Let’s read to you in the comments.
