A Journey Through The Basement

Dear Isaac,
When mother starts to scare you
and you feel there's no escape
just jump into the cellar
because there you won't be hurt
But she keeps haunting you
sending her demons after you
chasing you through the dark basement
picking up speed
But they keep getting stronger
and you cannot fight anymore
you go a bit deeper
into the catacombs
Here you seem safer
but that security dissipates
when you go into the next room
and the monsters keep on chasing
You fight with your feelings
getting stronger every floor
you seem to be less afraid
as the caves pass you by
It gets darker as you run
the depths make you shake
they seem to get sadder
darker
bigger
colder
and you just get range upgrades
When this necropolis becomes never-ending
and you cannot take it anymore
you can work up the courage
to face your mother
And when you finally do
you travel into the womb
but her enemies keep improving
but your confidence has never been so high
You fly through the utero
getting more confident as you go on
you go right into your mothers heart
and take one final punch
Now you have to choose
to heaven
or
to hell
If you go to heaven
there you will face yourself
your demons follow you through the cathedral
but maybe you'll improve your stats
After you face yourself
you will go into the chest
and you'll get four
shiny
new
toys
But there you'll face blue baby
who's much stronger than you are
if you succeed in this battle
mother will start to care
If you go to hell
Sheol will certainly welcome you
Satan's never been so happy
to have someone fight his battles
But of course you must fight him
for your demons keep your trail
they tell you to kill Satan
or they will kill you
Keep on fighting your way
through all of Satan's phases
and once you become the lord of hell
you'll move on over to the dark room
You don't get new toys here
but maybe you'll meet Guppy
and he'll help you
in your quest
Down here the lord is the lamb
but you don't really care
you're the most powerful
of them all
So bring on any fight
Mega Satan stands no chance
against the frightening
deadly
Isaac
And Isaac, I know
Sometimes it gets so hard
you just want to die
But trust me when I say
a victory is not built
from the first floor
If you keep on fighting
and you keep on believing
and you keep on improving
and you keep on living
You will come out with a beautifully satisfying win streak.
Keep on going, Isaac.
We're all rooting for you.
