Celeste, released in 2018 has over the years become a fan favourite, selling millions of copies around the world. The pixel-based platformer tells the tale of Madeline who has come to climb a mountain to help battle anxiety, depression and inner demons.

The game is beloved not only for its pixel-perfect and uniquely challenging gameplay but ultimately for the journey and message, and is notably important to players within Trans and LGBTQIA+ communities.

In this exclusive Australian event hear from the two creative minds behind Celeste, Maddy Thorson and Noel Berry. Join them as they discuss stories from throughout the game's development, explore their creative practice and reflect on over a decade working as an internationally recognised indie developer with in the videogame industry.
