A nostalgic yet hard 3D platformer version of the original Celeste that not only features returning characters but also quite challenging strawberries to collect. The level design traces back its inspiration mainly from Super Mario Sunshine, more so considering the tapes and the music in those areas. There is also a lot of more focus on exploration but thankfully none of it requires collecting blue coins.

Side note: the initial build of the game required me to change the language settings of my computer in order to play it; the second one had a trojan that was automatically detected by Windows defender and deleted the executable; and the third one while it works doesn't let me save and quit, so despite finishing it it's now pretty much stuck in that state.
