STORY
Abe's Oddysee begins with the titular protagonist as a prisoner in RuptureFarms, from which point he narrates his story. He and many other Mudokons have been slaves all their life to Molluck the Glukkon, who owns RuptureFarms, which is known as the biggest meat-processing plant on Oddworld.[16] Abe is a contented floor-waxer First Class and currently Employee of the Year.[3]


Molluck the Glukkon observing his plummeting profits
RuptureFarms is undergoing difficulties: the ingredients of their three major products: Scrab Cakes, Paramite Pies, and Meech Munchies, are quickly running out, with the Meeches already extinct.[17] 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 called "Mudokon Pops!", frightening Abe into a resolution of escaping from the factory.[15]
Abe proceeds to elude the authorities and escape from RuptureFarms; immediately out, Abe sees a large moon in the sky, with its face in the shape of a Mudokon handprint, signifying the Mudokons as the "chosen people".[18][19] Abe suddenly falls down a cliff, smashing his head; as he lies on the ground, BigFace appears before him in a vision.[20] BigFace sends Abe towards his quest: to rescue his enslaved brethren and "restore the lost land". 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.[21] Once Abe has both scars, he can become the Shrykull, an all-powerful demigod creature.[3] The Shrykull stands outside life as a dualistic god, of creation and destruction, and of fear and love.[22]
With this divine power, Abe returns to RuptureFarms, rescues his Mudokon brethren and manages to find the switch to turn off most of the power to the factory. At this point, Mullock finds out what happened and decides to flood the entire factory with poisonous gas in a last-ditch attempt to do away with Abe, who eventually finds himself in the Board Room and chants to invoke the Shrykull to eliminate the Glukkons there before pulling a switch to turn off the gas, only afterwards, he is surprised, captured, and bound. It is at this point that he first appears in captivity at the start of the game.[23] As Molluck enters the prison cell and prepares to drop Abe into a meat grinder, BigFace holds a meeting with freed Mudokons at the Monsaic Sanctum.
Here, there are two endings. The good ending is triggered by the player rescuing at least 50 Mudokon slaves throughout the game, sees the Mudokons resolve to save Abe, and sees them chant together and invoke a powerful lightning bolt upon Molluck's pointy head. With Molluck incapacitated, BigFace teleports to Abe, frees him, and teleports him out to a cheering crowd. Should Abe have failed to rescue at least 50 Mudokons throughout the game, the bad ending is invoked, wherein the few freed Mudokon slaves refuse to give aid to him. Molluck is given free rein to release Abe into a meat grinder, where he is instantly killed.[24] Subsequent games and media treat the good ending as canonical.
In the initial PlayStation version of the game, upon "perfect" completion of the game — completion with all 99 Mudokon slaves rescued — an extra full motion video (FMV) "Guardian Angel" can be viewed, via a cutscene viewer. The video depicts a captured Abe being harassed by "The Shrink", a mechanical creature with a sophisticated artificial intelligence.[25] The FMV is notable due to its absence from the PC version and later PlayStation releases of the game, and its introduction of a new character to the Oddworld mythos. The character was reputedly part of an early advertising campaign, which included television commercials, but was eventually abandoned.[26]
