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.
Before that, Abe needs to locate his
About PlayStation 4
The PlayStation 4 (2013) cemented Sony's dominance of the eighth console generation, with a library exceeding 30,000 titles once indie and digital-only releases are counted. Most PS4 games remain affordable for collectors, but limited physical print runs — particularly from smaller publishers and later in the console's life cycle — are starting to see steady price increases as digital storefronts eventually wind down support.
Gamevaro tracks Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee for PlayStation 4 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS4 release dates back to 1997.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 4 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
