Is it possible to save in Binding of Isaac

the-binding-of-isaac

I know this is kind of silly but is it possible to save current progress? So far I've been leaving the game running so when I return I can attempt to finish the level but it would be nice to just save.

I haven't seen an option in the GUI to save or reload but I figure i'd ask the community. Maybe I am missing something.

No, it's not possible.

The point of the game is to keep short playing sessions where death is a permanent threat. Not having the player be able to save the game both gets across this gameplay idea, and as a nice side effect it keeps players from abusing savegame files or saving mechanics (for example, save and Ctrl+Alt+Del task manager quit the game, and restart).

That said, the overall progress is always saved, such as your general stats and unlocks.
