Fun Fact: Celeste Mountain actually exists!

[⌈Not Actually NEETori⌋]

Well, sort of. From what I can glean, it's based off of Mount Celeste, a mountain on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. While I'm pretty sure the real Mount Celeste doesn't have the same properties as the in-game Celeste Mountain, it's pretty neat to know that it has a real life counterpart.

The Wikipedia article is linked below, if you're interested. It's a bit barren, though.

Huh.... so that explains the Canada esque flags on Golden Ridge, that's really interesting...

That and IIRC the developer is also from Vancouver, so an obscure landmark close by makes sense.

You'll never know until you make that climb, though!

Some fellow climbers have left reviews on google maps :D

Ok, but how many people do you think have actually climbed the mountain? Like, the actual real-life mountain?

This is great.

As well, I did find a photo of the peak. The site I found it hosted on seems to make it known that it's scalable but no record of anyone actually trying it. According to the map the peak sits at around 2100m.

LOL, the reviews really made me laugh.

And since nobody seems to have mentioned it yet... the game itself does mention the setting of Canada. In the big convo with Theo at the start of chapter 6, I believe. ♥

That and the fact that you'll find Canadian flags in chapter 4, as well as the hints being on postcards with Canada stamps on them.

There's probably a load of peaks named Mt. Celeste in the world, but this is the most likely reference due to:

1. The game being set in Canada
2. Theo being from Seattle
3. Matt Thorson being from Vancouver.
