How Celeste Humanises Mental Disorders

  • Summary

  • Celeste, an indie platformer game released in 2018, has one of the most accurate portrayals of anxiety and panic attacks. Over the course of the 10-hour campaign, we see the protagonist Madeline face the toughest challenge of her life: climbing the Celeste Mountain. But what tricks do the game's creators Maddy Thorson and Noel Berry use to develop one of 2018's best games? How does Celeste create deep, emotional connections with the player despite being a simple 2D platformer?

     

    In this episode of Next Level Narrative, Aneesh Bhargav explores the human side of Celeste's game design, and why it's one of his favourite indie games of all time.
