    In my second playthrough in this game, I focused a lot more on gathering strawberries than before. It was strangely disconcerting to slowly realize that there were no strawberries in this level. There were so many split paths, but none had strawberries. Whatever I tried to do trying to look for them, I failed. It made my search feel empty, and I realized now was not the time for distractions. No time for empty gestures of competence. It made the chapter feel a lot more impactful.

      İt is just obvious from the icons below the torches that what you have got to do is to *mirror* the first dash sequence you made. And to figure out the first one you dont really have to figure out the first chapters crystal heart. The computer which shows the colours in orders actually makes a specific sound that you can copy by dashing. Every direction makes different sound like piano notes. If you are succesful copying the same sound with the first episodes computer at this episode, you will be able to get the heart. At least thats what I did

    This game is so perfect.
    After having that beautiful chat with Theo, you two fall asleep, and there's this dream about you flying up with the aurora borealis in the background. You think, finally, I'm getting over the personified insecurity that is Badeline. And then she throws you off. I felt devastated all my mountain climbing progress was just wasted like that, but I also thought about Badeline's words.
    She was right. I was throwing her away, saying I didn't need her. But trying to throw away a _Part of You_ is useless.
    While I thought about the plot, I also felt stunned by beauty walking through the crystal-filled fields of green grass and gorgeous lakes and cascades while THIS plays.
    So many emotions jungled up at once... I think it made me feel exactly what Madeline was feeling in that moment. And for that... I believe this is a perfect game.

    The chapter really is a chance for reflection. It allows you to think on the plot, on what just happened, and to realize what needs to be done. As you travel through the crystal catacombs, your reflection is all over the place, but the only one you need to see, is also the only one neither of you want to. You’ve deeply hurt Badeline, you’ve basically called her useless, and like she said, she can go deeper. Repairing your friendship won’t be easy, but it has to be done.

    I think what sets this track apart is the percussion. Throughout this game, one of the things I've notcied is that the drums only kick in in parts of high stress (so the boss rushes.) They kick during the Badeline chase, and the Mr. Oshiro chase as well. But in this super mellow track, the percussion, although not consistent, is present from beginning to end. I think this signifies how Madeline must confront Badeline, there is no way around it.
    I could be totally wrong about this though.

    What I truly love about the song is how the energy builds throughout it, and how it reflects Madeline's mental state throughout the chapter. Instead of the song starting sad and becoming more and more happy and determined as it goes on, it almost sounds like it gets...angrier. Like Madeline starts out at rock bottom, the lowest point of her life, and gets more and more frustrated at herself, her circumstances, and her decisions. The music gets louder and louder as Madeline becomes angrier and angrier with herself. She gets more determined to right her wrongs near the end of the chapter, and the song reflects that by become more rhythmical and upbeat. It's a truly powerful piece of music and a perfect example of what makes Celeste's soundtrack so magical.

    Near the end, the bass line is actually identical, or near identical, to the Badeline chase section of Resurrections. That slow, repeating, descending bass. I've listened to Resurrections at least 100 times by now, I'm sure it was intentional.

    The more I think about this game, the more I believe that it was tailor-made for people suffering from depression. This part of the game is one of the reasons why.
    You have just been reminded why you lack motivation, why you just can't do this. You did your best, but in the end, your dark side brought you crashing down, because you couldn't make peace with it. Fortunately, the old lady gives an answer to you of the question, "what the hell do I do now?!", and you now know what you must do if you want to continue.

      Endercraft Inc. Indeed it does. I mean, if you were to apply this part of the story to Life, you'd feel absolutely down if your inner demons sabotage you when you're close to victory.
      But, as my Dad said, when I discussed this game with him, the important thing is to confront your fears and rise again after each setback.
      Truthfully, thanks to the music and the storytelling, Celeste explains a bit about real life, in a way. Rarely has a game appealed to me like this before, and I enjoy it immensely, challenges and all.
      It's worth a few lessons on Life, indeed.

    I love the distortion in the melody around the three minute mark, it's like when you're trying to talk while crying and it comes out all wavery

    This music makes me feel the melancholy and depression of Badeline, who thinks that Madeline will reject her forever.

    I was listening to this song at 0.5x speed, and I noticed the bass sounds that start around 3:52. It's a very nice touch; this soundtrack is so amazing! Well done Lena

    How do you compose something like this? this is one of the few songs that gave me such goosebumps, as many other celeste song...
    When I started listening, I found myself stuck at my phone like I was actually looking deep into myself, like something I've never encountered but yet inside myself from a long time being awake.
    I can't even explain with words, if music is magic, you are a true magician.
    Thanks... I mean it.
