GameplayĬeleste’s gameplay features fast and tight controls along a series of challenging platforming sublevels that make up a larger Chapter. The game follows a young woman named Madeline as she climbs the titular Celeste Mountain, facing opposition from both the mountain’s natural obstacles and from within herself. Lightning-fast respawns keep you climbing as you uncover the mysteries of the mountain and brave its many perils. According to Celeste’s developers, Madeline is transgender. In her official art, she is shown reaching for a strawberry with wings. Throughout the events of the game, she wears an aqua snow jacket, dark grey pants, black and dark grey walking boots, and her brown climbing backpack equipped with a red sleeping mat and plastic water bottle. Madeline is a short, young Canadian woman with pale skin, brown eyes, and long auburn hair with one wayward curl.
