Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee

Following his stomach, Abe eavesdrops on the corporate leaders' conversation and makes the most frightening and disgusting discovery: his own race is that secret delicious food.

Alas, Abe has been spotted, and the guards are marching towards him.

He must escape, but he can't leave his friends to the mercy of the Glukkons and their henchmen.

He must rescue as many as he can, and tell the world the truth about what he has found out.

Abe's Oddysee is the first game set in the fictional Oddworld universe.

It is a platformer with puzzle-solving elements, focusing on the portrayal of a weak, underpowered character in a grim and hostile world, who has to rely on his cunning to outwit enemies and overcome hazards.

Abe is almost completely helpless: he cannot use weapons and is usually instantly killed by his brutal enemies if he confronts them directly.

For this reason, most of the game involves careful exploration, timed movement, sneaking, and outsmarting the foes through various means: throwing stones to confuse them, luring them into traps, etc.

Abe can run, jump, climb, tiptoe, crouch, and roll; in most areas, these actions are essential to his survival.

A few stages involve Abe riding a large animal known as Elum.

Abe's only special power is chanting, which he can use to stun certain enemies for a while or possess them.

When Abe possesses an enemy he gains his abilities: for example, possessing the body or a ferocious Slig allows the player to shoot from his machine gun, communicate with other creatures of his kind, and even commit suicide, clearing the way for Abe.

Chanting is also used to open "bird portals", which is the final action needed to bring a fellow Mudokon to safety.
