The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, the critically acclaimed indie title by Nicalis, received an important update yesterday. Patch 1.7.8 brings a plethora of gameplay changes and bug fixes. It also added "Something spooky" to Ashpit, but the developer didn’t reveal what it is, so I guess you will have to find that out yourself in-game.
We have mentioned the gameplay changes below.
