Game Trailer Screenshots

Celeste is a platforming video game by Canadian video game developers Matt Thorson and Noel Berry, with art by the Brazilian studio MiniBoss. The game was originally created as a prototype in four days during a game jam, and later expanded into a full release. Celeste was released in January 2018 on Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, macOS, and Linux. A DLC chapter entitled "Farewell" was released on September 9, 2019.

Gameplay

Celeste is a platform game in which players control a girl named Madeline as she makes her way up a mountain while avoiding various deadly obstacles. Along with jumping and climbing up walls for a limited amount of time, Madeline has the ability to perform a mid-air dash in the eight cardinal and intercardinal directions. This move can only be performed once and must be replenished by either landing on the ground, hitting certain objects such as replenishing crystals, or moving to a new screen (although the player is granted a second dash later on in the game). Throughout each level, the player will encounter additional mechanics, such as springs that launch the player or feathers that allow brief flight, and deadly objects such as spikes which kill Madeline (returning her to the start of the room). Players can also access an Assist Mode, where they can change some attributes about the game's physics. Some of these include: infinite air-dashes, invincibility, or slowing the game's speed. Hidden throughout most chapters of the game are optional strawberries, obtained through challenging platforming or puzzle solving sections, which slightly affect the game's ending depending on how many are collected. Additionally, there is a cassette tape hidden in each chapter that unlocks a "B-Side", a harder version of that chapter. Also, optional "crystal hearts" used to access post-game content are found in every chapter. Beating all the "B-Sides" then unlocks the "C-Side" versions, which consists of very hard but short variations of the chapters. The "B-Sides", "C Sides", and the Farewell DLC chapter all teach the player more complicated movement techniques that are needed to clear otherwise impossible obstacles. Upon clearing all "C-Sides", the player can access the Variants menu. The Variants menu allows players to change the game's physics in a way similar to the game's Assist Mode. Some of these "variants" include: speeding the game up, 360 degree dashing, and low friction. These settings serve to make the game both more challenging and more fun. The original Celeste Classic Pico-8 prototype can also be found as a hidden minigame.

Plot

A young woman named Madeline begins climbing Celeste Mountain, ignoring a warning from an old woman who lives at the base. Madeline makes her way through a deserted city, where she can meet with a fellow traveler named Theo. Madeline camps out for the night and has a dream in which a dark reflection of herself breaks out of a mirror, and attempts to stop Madeline's climb, but Madeline escapes from it and wakes up from her nightmare.

Madeline continues into an old hotel on the mountain, where the hotel's ghostly concierge, Mr. Oshiro, tries to persuade Madeline to stay despite the dingy condition of the hotel. She reluctantly entertains him by cleaning part of the resort, but he is keen on having her stay for a night. This leads to the reflection reappearing and creating an escape for Madeline, but insulting Oshiro in the process, enraging him. He chases Madeline out, and Madeline continues the climb.

After traveling through the Golden Ridge, Madeline meets up with Theo at a gondola. The reflection appears again and stalls the lift, giving Madeline a panic attack. Theo calms her down, and the gondola moves again, arriving at an ancient temple. Theo and Madeline end up lost, separated and trapped inside a mirror. There, Theo gets encased in a magic crystal and monsters given form from Madeline’s insecurities attack them. She finds Theo and frees him from the crystal.

After escaping from the temple, Madeline and Theo set up camp. Madeline tells Theo about the reflection and confides in him about her mental health issues before resting. During the night, she seeks out the reflection and expresses her wishes to leave it behind. This angers the reflection, and forces Madeline to plummet down to the base of the mountain. Stuck in a cave at the bottom of the mountain, Madeline meets the old woman again, who suggests that the reflection might be scared and says that Madeline should try talking instead of abandoning it.

Madeline searches for her reflection again, apologizes for pushing it away and vows to climb the mountain together. The reflection initially lashes out at Madeline, but relents and forgives her. The reflection and Madeline merge together, and they work their way back up the mountain, before finally reaching the summit.
