About Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee is the 1997 cinematic platformer that introduced the world to the Oddworld universe, one of gaming's strangest and most memorable creations. You play Abe, a gentle Mudokon slave in a meat-processing factory who discovers his kind are about to be turned into the company's new product — and decides to escape and rescue as many of his fellow Mudokons as he can. The game is a stealth-puzzle platformer: Abe is fragile, so you avoid enemies rather than fight, using possession abilities, timing, and careful movement to sneak past guards and solve environmental puzzles. Its cinematic cutscenes, grotesque but lovable art direction, and haunting atmosphere were ahead of their time. The game is famous for its difficulty, its moral themes, and the unforgettable chant that frees your people. It spawned a series that continues to this day.
