'''''Celeste''''' is a 2018 platforming [[w:video game|video game]] designed, directed, and written by [[Maddy Thorson]], and programmed by Thorson and Noel Berry. Based off a [[Celeste Classic|2015 game of the same name]], made in four days by Thorson and Berry for a game jam, the game follows a young [[CW:TR|trans]] woman named [[Madeline]] who attempts to climb a (fictional) version of Mount Celeste, but has to face [[Badeline|her inner demons]] in her quest towards the summit.▼

The game itself is divided into nine distinct chapters, each featuring their own mechanics making themselves unique. The level of difficulty generally scales upwards for most of the game; [[B-Sides]] provide additional difficulty for players whom desire it. Celeste also has a vast number of mods, ranging from easy to just about impossible, which can increase the number of levels Madeline can complete from twenty-five to thousands.
''Celeste'' has been released on various platforms. Its initial release put it onto itch.io and the Steam distribution system for GNU/Linux, macOS and Windows; console releases were created for the Xbox One lineup, Playstation 4 series and Nintendo Switch consoles. Since then, the game has been ported to newer-generation consoles (notably the Xbox Series S/X and Playstation 5), and the macOS and Windows exclusive Epic Games store.<ref group="note">The founder of Celeste Wiki, [[User:Celeste]], discourages purchases from the Epic Games store on the basis that it does not support the GNU/Linux version of ''Celeste'', and overall has the worst support among all computer releases. However, if ''Celeste'' is made available there for free, which has happened on more than one occasion, it is worth using it for that purpose.
