Celestial Resort
An abandoned hotel haunted by ghosts and personal history.
Celeste features a distinct area known as Celestial Resort, an abandoned hotel situated within the mountain's winding paths rather than at its base. Unlike a standard lodging hub for active climbers, this location serves as a narrative stage where Madeline encounters Oshiro, the resort's caretaker who is unaware of his own death. The setting is defined by its eerie, deserted state, housing strange occurrences that mirror the internal conflicts of the protagonist. It stands as a pivotal stop in Madeline's ascent, shifting from a place of potential rest into a zone of confrontation where she challenges Oshiro to face the reality of his passing.

Lore & Background
Celestial Resort is an abandoned hotel located within the areas of Mount Celeste. It is inhabited by Oshiro, a ghost who serves as the caretaker but remains completely unaware that he has died, believing he is still alive and waiting for guests. The resort's atmosphere is characterized by its poor condition and supernatural elements. During Madeline's climb, her goal is not to improve the establishment but to convince Oshiro of his true nature so he can find peace. Although tensions rise during their confrontation, it is Madeline who ultimately reconciles with him; following the boss fight, Oshiro accepts his fate and moves on.
In Their Own Story
Madeline enters the Celestial Resort and meets Oshiro, the ghost who owns the abandoned building. He struggles with his past and tries to convince Madeline to stay and fix up the dilapidated hotel. Initially, Madeline agrees to help him improve the condition of the resort. However, Badeline suddenly appears and interferes, telling Oshiro that Madeline's help is merely a selfish act to boost her own ego. Convinced by these words, Oshiro turns on Madeline, becoming enraged and chasing her out of the hotel before she can continue her journey.
