Confessional in-game sprite

Repentance · Machines

Confessional

Spend health for spiritual rewards, curse removal, or Broken Heart removal.

What you pay · HealthHalf a heart per use; a full heart from Womb onward

Payment and play rules

  • Red health is spent first. Payments can kill you, and a reward is not guaranteed.
  • The payout chance is 30% on Normal and 25% on Hard.
  • A blessing can remove the floor curse and change Angel Room preference, including after taking a Devil Deal.

Before you spend

Bring recoverable health if you want to play repeatedly. A blessing affects deal rules; it does not mean every future floor gets an Angel Room.

Possible payouts

These are possible results, not a promise that every payment gives a reward.

  • Soul or Eternal Hearts
  • Removal of a Broken Heart
  • A blessing or pickup payout

Final payout or milestone

An Angel Room item, or Redemption if you already took a Devil Deal during this run.

What happens if you bomb it?

A final payout breaks the machine. Bombing it gives random pickups instead of guaranteeing an Angel item.

Broken appearance

Original game frames. Counters are part of the artwork preview. The broken frame does not mean every machine can be bombed; read the destruction rule below.

Check your character before paying

The standard heart cost is not a safe-payment guarantee. Characters with unusual health systems need their own health rules checked first.
