Inner Child

Inner Child is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Effects

 * Gives Isaac an extra life. Upon death, Isaac respawns in the current room with half a heart left, a massive size down, and +0.2 speed.
 * If Isaac has any heart containers, he will respawn with half a heart container filled; otherwise he will respawn with half a soul heart.
 * When Isaac respawns as the inner child, he emits a blood explosion that deals 35 flat damage to all nearby enemies.

Trivia

 * Inner Child is a concept in popular psychology that there exists an "inner child" in every sub-conscious that contains memories of pain and trauma in youth.
 * This above definition may explain why it can be found in the closet in Home, as it has a traumatic assocation for Isaac.
