the binning off isek: aferberts
A full graphical overhaul
Created 10 years ago
where MAKING THIS HAPEN

One day, as Isaac descends to the basement once again, he notices that things are... off.
Everything looks like his drawings or even like a JPEG compression gone wrong.

This mod gives the entire game a new, interesting style. Almost every sprite has been redrawn by hand, some have been converted to JPEGS and the music now pierces your eardrums with bad midis.
...also, you might not recognize items by their name anymore.

Warning: This mod might hurt your eyes, ears or cause seizures. Not sure. It didn't happen to me during my intense testing sessions.

The wonderful music was made by jerbear64!

The insane announcer was voiced by Wüane!

The hand-dra... uuuh... mouth-spoken sounds were made by yuunohu and are part of his Voice of God mod:

AntoniM for the trinket sprites!

Thanks for inspiration to the Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff comics and /u/anhud!
...and thanks to r/bindingofisaac for motivation!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
isek was warned about the stairs, but he fell anyways and due to the head damage he came upon this
¿Do you think god is beyond our limits, because he's afraid of what he has created?
Is a Afterbirth+ version ever coming out? If it has, where is it?
i took down the original upload because a booster pack broke it and i never got around fixing it but somebody seems to have fixed and reuploaded it: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1170279913
(they also apparently made some changes, i take no responsibility for whatever those may entail)
DAM PPL U NED 2 PLAI DIS MODD ADS AMAZNG GRAFIKS 2 ISEK BST MOD EV444444R!!!!!!!!!!1111!!11
orly?? And how exactly am i supposed to play it? it crashes isaac when i try to enable it in mod list...i dont understand why you people keep posting when it doesnt even work...
This is the Afterbirth version of the mod. The AB+ version is broken as you said, which is why I took it off the workshop.
I Would Love To Play This But I Don't Have Aferberts
But I Saw This Mod On Hutts' Channel And I Loved It!
Great Work
So uhm, i wanna play this badly but it crashes isaac.exe whenever i enable it in the mod list. Someone on the workshop told me it needs an update to make it compatible with the booster pack and it would be coming very shortly in the original mod, this was 5 days ago? Iz it true? I kan isek soon?
Yeah, that's true. I'll try to update it as soon as possible; until then I've taken the mod off the workshop (sadly this doesn't automatically remove the broken version of the mod from other peoples' folders but it's the least I can do for now)
Oh my God, my eyes. My beautiful eyes. 12/10 fashion of the year.
10/10 Recommended Graphics, It works on very old computers giving to the player a very exciting experience
I must say, this mod is very great. I like how you redrew everything in ms paint including the bosses and items (as well as renaming them silly names) Overall this mod is fun and I recommend anyone to get it
does it work for rebirth, since literally EVERYTHING is for Aferberts+
Doesn't work for Rebirth, this is the Afterbirth version and the AB+ version is on the workshop.
i've played this mod for a week straight and my productivity has rose up by 150%
I believe that was a homestuck reference in the description, or am I just crazy?
sbahj reference, which apparently is part of homestuck so I guess
Yeah sbahj is referenced in Homestuck
Is there another download link?
Because the main dropbox one keeps dying on me at 314MB, everytime.

Sad faic
If you have Afterbirth+, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=834207462

Otherwise I don't really know where else I could upload it to, sorry.
I unfortunately do not have Afterbirth+ installed... Yet.

Sader faic
Well, I'll try to see if the problem's on my end and not on the download link's, since I only seem to be the one having problems so far~

This mod makes my brain hurt and my eyes water
Thank you very much! I gonna install it as soon a I can. BTW you should leave the link on the workshop page description ;)
That's a good idea, I'll do that.
this mod ...
SUPER MEGA BEST MOD EVER!!!! 10/10
em this mod ...
SUPER MEGA BEST MOD EVER!!!!
This is probably the best mod I've ever downloaded for any game.
I'm begging you, you NEED to update this as soon as Afterbirth+ is released
Already working on an update for 🆎!
do you think you could make a reberts compatible version
sorry i fucked up I added the download link in the description for now, the download button will only give you an empty zip
ok the fuck is up with this arg shit
how HIGH do you HAVE to BE
"Full graphical overhaul"

He's not wrong.
my eyes
they burn from the light of a thousand suns
hey just wondering will you be making a rebirth port for this or are there like too many complications TIA
This mod looks so unplayable but I love it.
just HOW HIGH do you even have to BE just to DO something like that.
Should be called the crapping of Isaac
Switches didn't change, you shall not fool me!
Im new here! Like this smiley! mod is lel.
I saw Vinny (from Vinesauce) play this and it's just the best
Hey, I thought I just should drop the "better" music into the recources folder, but it's still the normal music...
Could anybody help me, I heared the music and I love it !!!
You need to put it into the resources/music folder!
Only the files from the new folder into the old folder?
If you're talking about the music expansion add-on, drag the .zip's contents into the resources folder and say "yes" to overwriting.
this really reminds me of my drawings
Ey, I was wondering, are you gonna leave the item sprites as they currently stay, or are you gonna "shittify" their sprite by handrawing them?
I plan on remaking this mod some day with a bit of a different, less meme-y style and then the items would be changed as well.
As a matter of fact, I've started work on the remake, which is 100% hand-drawn. No memes or laziness this time around.
late af, but this update makes half of them hand-drawn!
Since SBURB was finished, Dave had so much inspiration that he decided to make a game for SBAHJ, this was the results
*reads description*
I KNEW sbahj was involved in some way


I have THE CAR
FUCK IM FALLING DOWN ALL THESE TRAPDOORS .............
it keeps hapening
I WARNED YOU ABOUT TRAPDOORS BRO!
I TOLD YOU DOG!
dude how did you manage to get 4k textures in isek?!
I'm sorry, but what is the point of this mod?
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
sad thing is, effort was put in this.
Effort was put into making the game look like crap. that was partially true already though, with all the poop and dingles. Thanks for making this though.
If anything, it's a good thing effort was put into making this look like crap, in my humble opinion at least.
And you're welcome, I kinda enjoyed making it after all!
jesus, you changed all of it, didn't you? someone has a lot of free time
Well, I didn't hand-draw all of it, that'd be insane. I batch-shittified some of it.
gloriously made. i applaud you for all the effort you put into this.
but how is formd

They need to do way instain mother> who kill thier babbys. becuse these babby cant frigth back?
it was on the news this mroing a mother in ar who had kill her three kids. they are taking the three babby back to new york too lady to rest my pary are with the father who lost his chrilden : i am truley sorry for your lots

thanks u muchfords pm2k circle friend for the isek mod. promise i am the no shamrock spy.
dis mud luuks leik its gud bie mi strandarads.
I think this mod is bad, sr i don't like that's textures
Yeah, it's supposed to be bad
su beutifill i leik tis modd veri muc
I have no clue how to actually install this mod. I've tried everything reasonable and nothing works. Help?
Unpack the zip file into your ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\The Binding of Isaac Rebirth\resources folder.
The |s are supposed to be a backslash, the website changed them around and editing comments isn't a thing...
could you make a version where everything is just badly drawn, and no bad png rendering purple stuff? it kinda ruins the mod for me
I could maybe make a version where JPEG-stuff is removed and replaced with the normal game sprites, but redrawing everything else would take another week or so of continuous work and I don't have that time, sorry.
ah, ok, yeah, one without the .jpeg things would be nice. great mod btw
Propably the best mod i ever seen. Thanks for it!
I think what surprises me the most is the amount of time you put into this.
10/10 ultra HD graphics
-micol jacson.-
For the first time in my life, I'm at a loss for words...
I might be dumb but how do I make it work on a Mac?
This mod is hilarious! Keep it up!
Ow mya gerd best merd of te yeer al freends tel has sweg
10/10 10/10 100/100 best mod ever 10/10 3 oscars 420/69 byoutiful would ms paint again
I just bursted off with laugh with this "book of terrorists" and "eat heart".
Gave this a try today. Very funny! If you ever do a version that's all Paint/hand-drawn style, without the smudgy JPG stuff, I'm game.

I randomly decided to stream your mod when it came out a month back, just for fun. https://www.twitch.tv/whosgamingnow/v/44557111

A friend of mine described it as something that someone was making when he tripped and fell down a flight of stairs.

I think you did terrific bro.
i saw a video for binning off isek and i want to get the mod so i can have all the audio files on this computer. so i tried getting the mod but i cant bc i need a rebirth copy on steam? i only have isaac for the ps4. i really want these files but i dont think i should buy rebirth again just for these audio files. can someone give me like a mega link to the mod or something?
If someone wants to reupload the mod somewhere, they have my permission! I can't do it ATM because the file is huge and uploading it with my shitty internet would take ages.
People compare pm2k to God. Now I admire his work, but he's no pm2k.
Please, PLEASE lower the volume for Brimstone, even for this game it goes way too overboard
This mod is a shining example of quality design. The graphics outrank the Mona Lisa. The music could have very well been composed by a professional. Oh! And the Sound effects are outstanding!

TLR- gr8 m8 I r8 8/8 no b8 m8
This is the best Vanilla graphics mod out there.
how do you download the mod in macbook?

This mod is so funny ! Great work
There isnt realy that much I coud say about the mod because its that good I can see you took time on all of this I mean its not a one hour download for no reason all in all great mod
GET F|_|CKING NOSCOPED WHEN PLAYED THIS AVESONE MOD!!
This mod is so weird, yet funny. What an adorable mod.
So while I was watching NorthernLion I decided to look in fortunes.txt
and then i saw it
"ayyyy everybody welcome back to the binning off isek"
illuminati confirmationed
BUG: Pay 2 Win doors are entirely normal
every time I download it, it says the folder is empty what do i do?
The resources folder? The zip file that you downloaded?
doesn't matter now. I bought new pc because pc died. it was 8 years old anyway.
I swear it's impossible for me to play this mod. Not because of the look of it, but because of the fact that I literally cannot stop laughing whenever I play it.
Like a five year old drew it. Realism mod.
Its a good thing i'm decent at the game or else I couldn't see all the new music and hear all the new graphics.
Is this compatible without the Afterbirth Addon?
Is there any more left to do? my drawing skills are already atrocious, I'd be willing to help out!
Well, the items, most of the Rebirth bosses and the Afterbirth bosses aren't hand-drawn. (And I probably won't ever hand-draw these), so feel free to make those!
This is the best Vanilla graphics mod I've ever seen
Put all the files from the zip into your resources folder, just like any other mod!
So don't delete any of your files in resources?
What files do you mean? The packed folder? Don't delete that.
I didn't delete that, I put everything in the second resource folder after deleting everything in it.
Am I supposed to put everything in the first resources folder? not the second one?
woA!!! ths is hte bust med evur!!!1!!!!11111
having problems with loading into the game...
A true artistic achievement. Never before has mankind been so visually blessed.
Agreed, I have now realized how bad everyone is at drawing, but the creator of this mod has made a masterpiece.
One of my Vinesauce-watching friends only calls me "Burt" now.

Thanks, Ob... uhh Vinny.
10/10 it was ok - IGN

seriously though, the game is still good with these graphics (in fact it's better)... proving once and for all that the graphics don't make the game
I believe this mod only proves that people will play anything.
now, see, if the gameplay was made worse that would be a valid point

but it's the same game with worse graphics and the game plays just as well

the mod is a deep, meaningful message about graphics and how they don't need to be good

...or maybe it's just something silly, but the art critic in me disagrees with that
I have played it, not sure if you have, and it does effect the gameplay and makes it worse.
Trust me, after hours and hours of playtesting it will make gameplay worse, by causing headaches and nausea.
Have you listened to the Chest theme?
I wanted to only play the Lost so I never had to hear the damage sound effect.
the damage sound effect got old fast for me too, i'll agree on that one
Oh god the chest theme

I made a monster, why did I ever think it was a good idea to turn everything into a MIDI
"headaches and nausea" oh is that all
having played to the chest with the mod on, i can say this honestly

these people are wusses, it's just as bad as the rest of them, not worse
This isn't working like all my other mods! ;-; Do I put them in packed? Or just in TBoI folder and not put them in the resources folder? Help!
you just put it in the resources folder
Ok, It works, but holy crap is it a Graphic Underhaul by a 4 year old!
i have never laughed so much ... great job
yes thank this is boot in ful :') gud dream bruman
Never have I been so excited to put myself through a painful experience.

In all seriousness, excellent work done.
pm2k whie u du tis? Mod 2 gud 4 old gaim
You may call it an overhaul, but I think this is a graphical underhaul.
The sad thing is, this is the most complete re-skin of The Binding of Isaac ever made.
That's not fair for all the other reskins though
It is fair due to it being completely legit and not at all cheated or too fucked up. (I lied it is a cesspool of visual vomit)
this mod is a veary gewd mod, i rate a 11/10 veary naice
This mod makes the graphics of GTA 5 look like Pong
wat de fuk ? iz ze beste moid aiver
the "it's something" meme would be a perfection description for this mod.
It's like if Isaac drew his adventure. Now I have skin cancer. Thanks OP i'll message you with the bill for my chemotherapy
this is what its like to have a nail stuck in your eye
this mod can have inspiration of space funeral?
I still want to kill myself. But more. Thanks mod!
download this if you thought that rebirth's pixel art was just a little too good
this mod made me kill my whole entire family
dib mode grat, gib tan out tan, wuld pli agin.

...It's a beautiful mod
