If you’re scouting for an indie game that truly sticks with you—one with tough challenges, lovely visuals, and a story that hits deep—now’s your moment. The acclaimed platformer, Celeste, is currently selling for a steal on Steam. You can grab it for just R$ 14.99, which is a big 75% off. This special price lasts until August 29.
Celeste first came out in January 2018. It was born from a quick four-day prototype during a game jam. The minds behind it are Maddy Thorson and Noel Berry, with art created by the Brazilian studio MiniBoss. This game quickly made a name for itself, earning tons of praise and awards. It even won “Best Independent Game” and “Games for Impact” at The Game Awards 2018. Many still call it a modern masterpiece.
In the game, you play as Madeline. She’s on a journey to climb the mysterious Celeste Mountain. It’s not just a physical climb; Madeline also faces her own emotional battles. The game is famous for being tough but fair. Its design is spot-on, and the story really gets into topics like anxiety and discovering who you are. The controls are super responsive, and if you mess up, you’re back in action almost instantly.
Graphics and Sound
The game embraces a minimalist pixel art style. But don’t let that fool you. The visuals are rich, and the scenes are full of hidden details. Madeline’s animations are also very smooth. To top it off, Lena Raine composed the soundtrack. Her music adds so much emotion and really completes the experience.
