Isaac's Last Will is the Game Over screen of the game. It is shown whenever Isaac is definitively dead; that is, he doesn't have any more hearts or extra lives. It follows the following format:

Sentence Notes
DEAR DIARY,
TODAY I DIED.
To the right, a small "Me ↘" note points to a random drawing. Some examples are a bloated Isaac, Isaac's decapitated body, Isaac's severed head with an exposed spine, Isaac as an angel, a tombstone with a cross on it, and a pile of poop surrounded by flies.
I WAS KILLED BY THIS THING → This shows a picture of whatever landed the finishing blow on Isaac.
IN SOME ________ The blank space is occupied by a short description of the current chapter:
I LEAVE ALL THAT I OWN TO MY CAT GUPPY A list of all of Isaac's items (using the same icons displayed in the pause menu and the Collection Page) is shown. A small, underlined "↖ Cool Stuff!" note will point to them. If the player has a lot of items, the items will overlap with the Cool Stuff text and arrow.
GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD None.
XOXO ________ The blank space is filled by the character's name.

(in Rebirth) If the Missing Poster trinket is held at the moment of death and Isaac dies in a Sacrifice Room, a jigsaw puzzle piece will be shown in the "I WAS KILLED BY THIS THING →" box.

Notes

  • If Isaac dies from the timer while using the seed THEG HOST or in SPEED! (challenge #22), the cause of death will be a timer.
  • Dying from self-inflicted damage or suicide items when you haven't taken damage from any other sources will have Isaac's face showing on the page.

Trivia

  • "xoxo" is slang for "Hugs & kisses", commonly used in various written communique.
  • If you die as Character Lazarus Risen icon.pngLazarus Risen, there are blood dots on top of his name.
  • Dying as Character Dark Judas icon.pngDark Judas displays Lazarus's name with blood dots instead of Judas's. This is a bug that is presumed to be caused by the fact that Dark Judas's code may have been written over Lazarus Risen's, as they share similar attributes in numerous points.
  • When dying in close proximity to enemies that make fly buzzing noises, their sound effects are slowed down during the Game Over instead of completely stopped. This results in a deep growling noise being heard while staying in the Game Over screen.
  • One of the images shown next to “Me ↘” shows Isaac being decapitated, causing him to look identical to a Hopper.pngHopper.
