Old Site is the second chapter of Celeste. Preceded by Forsaken City and succeeded by the Celestial Resort, most of it occurs during one of Madeline's dreams. It introduces Badeline for the first time, and also adds several new mechanics, including Dream Blocks, seeded strawberries, and shields (also known as touch switches).

After exploring the ruins for a bit, the player finds a mirror in which they see a twisted reflection of themselves. Attempting to leave the room afterwards, the reflection breaks out of the mirror and runs away, activating the dream blocks, allowing her to reach more places and to explore much of the ruins. Later, after climbing up to a higher level of the ruins, she finds the reflection. Badeline introduces itself as a "part of her" (Madeline). After Maddy calls her creepy, she tells that it is a relief to finally get out of her head, and tells Madeline that they shouldn't climb the mountain. Badeline states that she is the pragmatic part and that she is trying to be diplomatic, but as soon as Madeline starts running afterwards, Badeline starts chasing her, forcing her to move continuously. After a ten-room-long chase, Madeline finally escapes the ruins. Upon leaving the spire, Badeline stops, laughing at the player and then disappears. Not far away Madeline finds a station and a payphone, which starts ringing. Upon answering, a green-haired person, internally known as Madeline's ex, on the other side answers the call with a smartphone; they think Madeline called them from a payphone, but Madeline claims the opposite, that they are calling her. She explains that someone (Badeline) is chasing her and she doesn't understand what's going on; the green haired person says that Madeline is making it up, Madeline continues to describe what happened in more detail, but she soon realizes that it's a dream. She then hangs up and gets angry, Badeline appears and tells her to stop climbing the mountain, then she disappears and the payphone turns into a monster that eats Madeline whole. Madeline then wakes up next to the campfire. Theo can be seen; Madeline may talk to her about her previous nightmare. He shows her a bunch of pictures he took in the ruins and then they take a selfie (against Madeline's wishes because she isn't photogenic). He describes how his grandma was semi-famous in the photography world and that's why he tried photography. Once Madeline arrives back at the payphone, she calls her mother, and tells her she is a bit overwhelmed by everything that has occurred so far. |
