Story
Abe's Oddysee begins with the titular protagonist as a prisoner in RuptureFarms1029, from which point he narrates his story. He and many other Mudokons are slaves to Molluck the Glukkon who owns RuptureFarms1029, the biggest meat processing plant on Oddworld. Abe is a contented Floorwaxer First Class and was currently Employee of the Year.
Molluck the Glukkon observes his plummeting profits.RuptureFarms is undergoing difficulties: the ingredients of their three major products are quickly running out, with the Meeches already extinct.While working late one night, Abe chances upon the Board Room, where the various Glukkons are discussing their dilemma. After reviewing the situation, Molluck announces his plan to use the Mudokon slaves as new meat products, frightening Abe into a resolution of escaping from the factory.
Abe proceeds to elude the authories and escape from RuptureFarms proper; immediately out, Abe sees a large moon in sky, with its face in the shape of a Mudokon handprint, signifying the Mudokons as the "chosen people".Abe suddenly falls down a cliff, hitting his head; as he lies on the ground, BigFace appears before him in a vision.
BigFace sends Abe towards his quest: to rescue his enslaved brethren and "restore the lost land". However, he cannot accomplish this feat without first completing the spiritual trials of the Monsaic Lines and Mudokon temples. Abe journeys into the Monsaic Lines, from where he travels to the forests of Paramonia and the deserts of Scrabania. In each land, Abe completes the tests of the respective temple; after each one, BigFace gives Abe hand scars, one representing the Paramites and one representing the Scrabs.
Once Abe has both scars, he can become the Shrykull, a mystical and all-powerful demigod creature.[3] The Shrykull stands outside life as a dualistic god, of creation and destruction, and of fear and love. With this divine power, Abe returns to RuptureFarms, rescues his Mudokon brethren and comes close to shutting it down entirely.
However, Abe is surprised, captured and bound so he cannot chant to invoke the Shrykull. It is at this point that he first appears in captivity at the start of the game. As Molluck enters the prison cell and prepares to drop him into a meat grinder, BigFace is holding a meeting with native modukons at the Monsaic Sanctum. The ending is changed depending on how many Mudokons are saved if fifty or more are saved, They resolve to save Abe, and so chant together and invoke a powerful lightning bolt upon Molluck's head. With Molluck incapacitated, BigFace teleports to Abe, frees him, and teleports him out to a cheering crowd. Molluck reputedly survives, and hides out in the Oddworld underworld plotting a comeback.
However, should Abe have failed to rescue at least fifty Mudokons throughout the game, the few freed Mudokon slaves refuse to give aid to the protagonist, and Molluck is given free rein to release him into a meat grinder, where Abe is instantly killed.
How would you like this game to be recreated?
