Black Heart in-game pickup

Repentance · Hearts

Black Heart

Temporary black health with a room-wide damage effect when the heart is depleted.

Value / opening ruleAdds 1 temporary heart

How it works

  • Depleting a Black Heart deals 40 damage to enemies in the room.
  • It behaves like temporary health rather than a red container that can be healed.

Before you collect

The damage burst happens when the heart is lost, not when you collect it.

Check your character's health rules

This describes the pickup's standard behavior. Characters with special health systems can restrict collection or turn a heart into a different resource.
